I found this hack over at the Firearm Blog (’Firearms, not politics’). The hack comes from a company called Stellar Rigs that sells conversion kits that supposedly turn your 1911 model or your Glock pistol into a carbine.
Sweet.

Across America a mysterious disease is turning ordinary people into raving, paranoid murderers who inflict brutal horrors on strangers, themselves, and even their own families.The fate of the human race may well depend on the bloody war one man must wage with his own body, because the parasites want something from him, something that goes beyond mere murder.

You can buy a pretty good carbine for less than these guys are charging for their kit, and it will be lighter and will be better designed for the purpose.
You can’t get a decent kel-tech for less than $500, a Beretta Carbine costs over $800, and Highpoint Carbines are absolute trash that should be removed from the market. I would rather have the firing assembly for a Glock or a Colt over anything that was made by Highpoint, Kel-Tech, or Beretta. The Glock is famous for being almost idiot proof when it comes to exposure, vapor incursion, foreign object incursion, the Glock and Colt .45 are two of the most reliable actions ever produced and that is why you would use it as the action in a carbine assembly. I thought that you didn’t give much thought to this Shadow, but you probably just don’t know anything about firearms
