It's not the usual choice but if I had one, I wouldn't feel uncomfortable using it. Better than my AR15 with its magazine lock.
No, but I feel it's not optimum certainly. Several handguns and shotguns would come to mind before the M1 carbine. I wouldn't consider an AR15, either. I'd reach for my P226 before my M1 carbine or AR15. I can phone the police while holding my P226, or open a door, window, etc. While it's true I can physically hold up both my M1 carbine and my AR15 with one hand at arm's length, I don't think pulling the trigger in that situation would be a good idea.
