Looks like Ruger is busy expanding their PC Carbine lineup.

Might have to pick one up, they look fun.

Meh, .40 S&W is dead. They don't even chamber their new pistols in it. Should have gone with a .45 ACP.

 

[Brains]

I agree. They have 9mm though too.

I know. I hope they sell that free float handguard.

10mm and I would buy.

I have a PC Carbine 1st gen in 9mm

Me too.

Needs to be in 10mm.

The free float hand guard is big an improvement in looks. I hope they come out with the 10mm version before I get too much older.

 

[TheMailMan]

I really doubt you'll see a 10mm.

1. Ruger has no inhouse double stack 10mm mags.
2. Other than a 1911 Ruger doesn't build a 10mm semi-auto
3. It would require a major redesign of the action to be able to handle the 10mm bolt thrust.

I was really hoping for a .45 ACP. Maybe someday.

Doesn't mean I can't want one.

I've shot one of the 9mm ones. Very pleasant and accurate. They take Ruger or Glock mags - there's an adapter that installs for Glock. My buddy uses 35 round aftermarket Glock mags in his - gave me the 15 round Ruger mag the carbine came with so I could have a spare for my SR9.

Anyway, it's lightweight, easy to shoot, pleasingly accurate, and...yeah, kind'a butt ugly. But it does what it does well and easily breaks down to a very compact size.

The new model with the barrel shroud looks a lot like an old Soviet PPsH. LoL.
Add in a Glock drum mag and there ya go.

Yep, .45 acp would have been preferable.................for me....

There are a lot of .40 Glock fans out there with tons of mags though.........

 

[lightflyer1]

I have my MechTech in .45 acp. Uses Glock mags and I had the barrel threaded for my suppressor. You can't wait around for what you want. You have to go and find it. A 40 round drum makes it fun to play with! Pairs with my Glock 21.

First thing to pop in my head.
