The Dominican Republic manufactured the caliber .30 Cristobal Model 2 Automatic Carbine with technical assistance from Pietro Beretta it resembles the Beretta Model 38 submachine gun. Page 417 Small Arms of The World.

two I know

Marlin made a lever rifle called the Levermatic in .30 carbine, long discontinued.

There was an auto pistol, the Kimball, that did not last long either.

The famous/infamous AMT AutoMag III was made in 30 Carbine.

30 Carbine is kind of a cult cartridge. Everyone has an idea of its capabilities and limitations, but some folks are just in love with it.
 
I have the common ones...

30 Carbine - Carbine
Blackhawk
AMT Automag -3
Contender barrel

the Automag 3 is actually even more fun than the revolver, even though I'm pretty much a revolver guy

Three or four years ago, US Firearms (USFA) made a limited run of their Single Action line commemorating the .30 Carbine.

There was a semi-automatic .30 Carbine chambered pistol called the Kimball. It was produced in small numbers in the late 1950's, looked somewhat like a High Standard pistol, and it was, by all accounts, not a pistol that is safe for shooting.

Aww heck, I see bamaranger mentioned it first. Interesting pistol, but not for shooting.

Taurus made a double action revolver called the Raging Thirty -- but I've not yet actually seen one of these and I've often wondered if it was actually produced or just advertised. I think it would be fun.

I've got a Ruger Blackhawk.

I'm looking for a Marlin 62 after I get a few more things...

also an Iver-Johnson Enforcer in .30 and the MAGAL or a HEZI (Israeli) in .30 carbine :)

Hey, and don't forget the Excel X-30!!
While they lack decent mag capacity (10 rounds was the last I saw), its got hope...with a bigger mag ;)
