I wonder if it will compete price wise with the KT sub 2000? It looks good in the couple of reviews I have seen.

This can be a dangerous place. I was really interested in the PC Carbine after very recently buying a SR9E pistol. Saw that Engage had 1 in stock. Less than MSRP, but more than I wanted to pay. I held out a couple of days and brought it home last week. I had a Bushnell Trophy red dot laying around and put that on it.
Took it to TMGN to sight in and get some rounds through it. It's a 25 yard max indoor range. My SR9 mags worked great with it. I don't have any Glock mags to try. Got sighted in short order and ran 100 rounds of Winchester 115 grain FMJs through it. No malfunctions at all. Very happy with the way it shoots. Take down and cleaning are simple. I'm really happy with it.
Hopefully next Sunday will be decent so I can get it sighted at 50 yards.

Thanks for the response. I plan on purchasing one as soon as I can find one for sale.
Mike, since you are way down on the the Ocean, see if Dave Littleton in Bishopville can get you one. Dave is one of the fairest people I have dealt with and finds ways of getting hard to get guns.

I'll give him a call. I've purchased from him before. Thanks for reminding me.

I'm in for one, did my taxes last night, getting refund. By the time I get the check one of the local dealers will have some ( I hope)
Hickock 45 did a review of this carbine this week. Lots of jams. This gun was on my short list but I may wait awhile and see what issues, if any, develop.

Ya this is why i didn't jump in and buy one right away. Its ruger they will figure it out but may take a couple production runs.

I've got 400 rounds through mine with no jams. I've read where some of the cheap Glock mags have problems. Looks like the 33 round is where he had problems. Only problem I've had is the last range session the charging handle was loose after each magazine. I'll put that down to operator error, when I clean it this time I'll torque it per the manual.
It's now wearing an AT3 Tactical RD-50 red dot.

Judge not this race .....
The availability of this rifle has increased to the point they can now be had for around $400. Got mine on GB, $418 after shipping expense. Picking it up from Blue Fins on Friday! 
Watch for icy spots on your way over in the morning.

I'm more confident in the Ruger than I am in the two AR9s I have. I have a lot of SR9 mags, have not had a problem using them.
I have a fairly early Ruger PC Carbine. SN 9XXX. Runs like a champ with Glock mags. Has never jammed and is accurate/fun/cheap to shoot.

Yeah it was kinda funny, the ffl called me asked if I wanted the 17 round Ruger mag pinned.... I said, "congrats, you now own a Ruger mag!"
I have roughly 10 Glock mags, I will be shooting it exclusively with those......
CANNOT WAIT! Seems like it will be a really fun gun!

I bought one last summer. I switched it over to glock mags as soon as I got it and have had Zero issues. It has been an outstanding rifle. If you want one don't let one youtube video change your mind. It's a great plinker. I put a Sig Romeo5 red dot on it and that seems to be the perfect combo.
Hickok45 did a version 2 of the test with a new gun and it performed great! This video is what sold me!

Mine runs fine on Glock mags. Got it from KYGunCo, and I've seen them in stock other places, too.
