===Uzi carbine===
The Uzi carbine is similar in appearance to the Uzi submachine gun. The Uzi [[carbine]] is fitted with a {{convert|400|mm|in|adj=on}} barrel, to meet the minimum rifle barrel length [[National Firearms Act|requirement]] for civilian sales in the United States. A small number of Uzi carbines were produced with the standard length barrel for special markets. It fires from a closed-bolt position in semi-automatic mode only and uses a floating firing pin as opposed to a fixed firing pin.<ref name="TT"/> The FS-style selector switch has two positions (the automatic setting was blocked): "F" for "fire" (semi-auto) and "S" for "safe". Uzi carbines are available in .22 LR, 9mm, .41 AE, and .45 ACP calibers.

The Uzi carbine has two main variants, the Model A (imported from 1980 to 1983) and the Model B (imported from 1983 until 1989). The Type A was the same as the fully automatic Uzi, while the Type B had a firing pin safety and improved sights and sling swivels. These two variants were imported and distributed by Action Arms.<ref name="TT"/>

The American firm Group Industries made limited numbers of a copy of the Uzi "B" model semiauto carbine for sale in the US along with copies of the Uzi submachine gun for the U.S. collectors' market. After registering several hundred submachine guns transferable to the general public through a special government-regulated process, production was halted due to financial troubles at the company. Company assets (including partially made Uzi submachine guns, parts, and tooling) were purchased by an investment group later to become known as Vektor Arms. Vektor Arms built and marketed numerous versions of the Uzi carbine and the Mini Uzi.<ref>{{cite book | last = Peterson | first =  Phillip  | title = Gun Digest Buyer's Guide to Tactical Rifles | publisher =  Gun Digest Books| year = 2010| location =Iola, WI | pages =180–181 | isbn = 978-1-4402-1446-2  }}</ref> As of 2024, average prices can be over $25,000.00 USD.<ref>{{Cite web |date=September 2024 |title=September 2024 Report: 19 Most Expensive Items Sold on GunBroker by Total Dollars {{!}} Auction or Fixed-Price |url=https://www.gunbroker.com/c/article/19-most-expensive-guns-sold-on-gunbroker-september-2024/ |website=GunBroker}}</ref>

Today, while the civilian manufacture, sale and possession of post-1986 select-fire Uzi and its variants is prohibited in the United States, it is still legal to sell templates, tooling and manuals to complete such conversion. These items are typically marketed as being "post-sample" materials for use by federal firearm licensees for manufacturing/distributing select-fire variants of the Uzi to law enforcement, military and overseas customers.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.fullautoguns.com | title = Select-Fire (Fully Automatic) conversion information | access-date = 2019-06-16 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150620123116/http://www.fullautoguns.com/ | archive-date = 2015-06-20 | url-status=live }}</ref>

===Mini Uzi carbine===
The '''Mini Uzi carbine''' is similar in appearance to the Mini Uzi machine pistol. The Mini Uzi carbine is fitted with a {{convert|500|mm|in|adj=on}} barrel, to meet the minimum rifle overall length requirement for civilian sales in the United States. It fires from a closed-bolt position in semi-automatic mode only.<ref name="TT"/>

===Uzi pistol===

The '''Uzi pistol''' is a [[semi-automatic firearm|semi-automatic]], closed bolt, and blowback-operated pistol variant. Its muzzle velocity is 345&nbsp;m/s. It is a Micro Uzi with no shoulder stock or full-automatic firing capability. The intended users of the pistol are various security agencies in need of a high-capacity semi-automatic pistol, or civilian shooters who want a gun with those qualities and the familiarity of the Uzi style. It was introduced in 1984 and produced until 1993.<ref name="KD"/>

===Uzi Pro pistol===
The Uzi Pro pistol is a current version of the Uzi pistol. It has rails on the top and bottom, and there is an optional stabilizing brace. Unlike any other Uzi variant, the Uzi Pro pistol has a side charging handle, rather than a top charging handle, and has a three-stage safety. There are three safeties on the Uzi Pro pistol: a thumb safety, a grip safety, and a firing pin block. This model was intended for law enforcement and civilian use, due to the compact size, rails, and a semi-automatic rate of fire. Unlike other Uzi variants, the Uzi Pro pistol is only chambered for 9×19 Parabellum.
