New Ruger PC Carbine

Magnumite · Feb 1, 2019

Mine runs fine using the Ruger (SR9 mags) or Glock (G17 mags) setup. In both cases using bulk 115 grain bulk box function has been flawless and accuracy good. It seems the stock drop is set up for use of an optic.

I have been getting better groups out of 115gr Remington White Box ammo, rather than the 124gr NATO ammo I generally prefer.

Picked mine up yesterday from Blue Fins, and have done the requisite mag well change for Glock.

Adjusted the takedown tightness per the instruction and cleaned the barrel.

Looking forward to first shots today at AGC if enough snow has melted.

This has been on my list. Something else gets in the way each time.. Any rumors of a Charger version? I bet there would be 10 braces available within minutes. Lol.

There should be several aftermarket stock versions by now.

I'm using a cheek riser as it's too low for me to use with an optic. With that said, I'm going to switch to Glock mags for USPSA, since Ruger doesn't make a long SR9 mag. Has anyone with a decent round count had any problems?

I'm surprised there isn't a MagPul version out.

If they made an upsized version of the 10/22 takedown stock they'd sell like crazy.

I actually don't have a lot of rounds through mine, with the glock mag well, and have experienced some FTF and FTE issues.

After all I went through to get the rifle though GB, and all it's hassles, I was pretty disappointed.

So did the requisite search on google, and found that others have had issues with the Glock mag well.... The solution was to take the ejector out of the Ruger mag well and use it in the glock mag well...... I put them side by side and didn't see any difference.....

However, today, I had not one issue! The only thing that was different is that I didn't use the same magazine. Will try that one tomorrow, may be the real cause but at least now I am very happy.

I am ok with the OEM stock...... Just wish there was some storage to put the requisite allen wrenches for adjustments and taking apart. Also being able to store one 17+ rd mag would be a bonus!!!!

I don't get why one would buy this over the Keltec Sub2k

Perhaps they don't want to spend all the extra cash keeping MCARBO in business. :rolleyes:

Seriously? I had an S2K. It was nice, but not as nice as the Ruger.

Because we don't want to own a KelTec. I had one, and sold it. Too flimsy for my taste. And there was no simple way to mount a red dot.

Friends don't let friends buy Keltec anything

I have both. The Ruger doesn't burn me every other shot. The S2K has more recoil as well. Now the burning is because I am left handed. The PC9 hasn't burnt me once shooting left handed.

I will keep both. However really starting to take a liking to the PC9. The KelTec would still be my goto for a truck gun.

I have spend a LOT of money on those guys!!!!!!!

John from MD · Feb 10, 2019

As have I and I like what my Sub2000 has turned into. Contrary to what one poster stated about adding a red dot sight, I found it easy using the same set up as I have on my AR's. In addition to adding Mcarbo parts and doing a fluff and buff job, I took a Pacmayer slip on recoil pad and cut it down and slipped in on the butt. It stays where you put it now and also gave me a1/2 inch more length of pull.

I'm a happy camper.

I'm not trying to be a jerk I just don't get it honestly.

I wasn't impressed when someone showed my the PC9. The takedown feature is just nowhere near as convenient as the folding Keltec.

I guess I'm looking at this from a perspective of a concealment and ease of deployment. If you just want it to shoot 9mm in a carbine I suppose it makes perfect sense, like a Hipoint 9mm or similar.

I think the pc9 is awesome. Planning on buying one this month. Way better quality than a keltec
