Re: Ruger PC Carbine
I am loving the PC Charger, wondering if we will get it here?

Re: Ruger PC Carbine
Actually scratch that part about the Stribog, this Ruger looks great and uses Glock mags and Most of us all ready have some of those

Re: Ruger PC Carbine
Regarding Rugers PC carbines, this is what happened to me:
I was interested in a 9 mm carbine for a long time. Then I first got a few other guns I also wanted. During this time the "Normal" PC Carbine made there debut in RSA. I seriously wanted to buy one, but as life is, there are a few other shooting goodies also taking up money and time. At my local gunshop they had a PC Carbine. I fondled it almost once a month for the past 13-14 months. Then the "chassis" model cane out in the USA. Looked nice and thought maybe to wait and see if it will arrive in RSA. And then early March I decided the time is right for a PC Carbine. I made a few calls here and there. The Chassis seemed unavailable and the standard model was also nowhere to be found, except for the one I knew about in my local gunshop. So I had a long hard thought about what to do? I came to the conclusion that the chassis will not serve me better for my intended use than the standard one. (Bit of PCC shooting, family plinking, training the youngsters to use larger semi-autos than the 10/22, having a more reliable second Semi-auto available the 10/22 and also more punch.)
And here I am, sitting at my home office desk and staring at the application for the Standard PC Carbine I bought 3 days before lockdown and now cannot do anything regarding the application...
Regarding the Charger, I am still hoping that Glock is working on something like that and if not I am content with one of my G19 in the Micro Roni for this type of firearm.

Re: Ruger PC Carbine
Fire Stick. Not. I don't know someone with one. I reckoned it should be good. If it can give the same reliability (being tough) than a Mini 14 or 10-22 also from Ruger there should be no problems. Internet reviews for instance by Hickoch 45 also set me at ease to just buy it. His first one he used had some hickups and that was the only review where anything went wrong between all the reviews available. Between myself and my brother we have quit a few Ruger products and never had a serious bad experience with any of them. The PC carbine looks and feel solid on dry firing and fondling and cocking etc. Doubt that I made a mistake.
Not to hijack the thread, but I have shot some other options. Lets just say a Ruger PC Carbine is built like a tank in comparison.

Re: Ruger PC Carbine
Just to clear up some confusion:
Ruger introduced the PC9 (Police Carbine 9mm) about 30 years ago. There also was a PC40. They were discontinued a few years later due to poor sales. The primary market was Law enforcement. These likely appealed to LE departments who already had Ruger pistols. The PC9 used one of the Ruger pistol mags, most likely the P85 or P89.
The current carbine is called the PCC (Pistol Caliber Carbine, I think). It is the same basic concept as the PC9, but also very different. One of it's attractions, is the compatability with Glock mags. These are vastly more available than any of the various Ruger mags.
From my internet research, I have found that the PCC has one weakness: If you slam the mag in, it can bend the ejector upwards and that will cause issues. So be carefull to insert the mags gently, especially when the bolt is locked open.
Fortunately the ejector sits on the mag conversion insert, and you get 2 with the gun.

Re: Ruger PC Carbine
It looks like you may be right, A-R.
See the link to the Ruger website which lists all of the Ruger PCC variants: https://www.ruger.com/products/pcCarbine/models.html
PS. For those who might be interested, it looks like this rifle comes in a .40 calibre variant too.

Re: Ruger PC Carbine
Jip. That is true. "Slamming" just has a few degrees of force. I believe you need to seriously slam it in to get that effect. Then also, why would a person need to use excessive force when inserting mags?
I will in any case try to get hold of another 2-3 spares for just in case as soon as I have mine licensed.
