The receiver is CNC-machined aluminum alloy billet and includes an integral optics rail. Why is this significant? Even if you’re not much of a handgunner, you’re likely aware Glock is one of the-if not the-most popular semiauto handguns in the world, and Ruger’s decision to offer this option works on two levels. (Ruger does not provide a Glock magazine, just the well.) Simply loosen the carbine’s takedown screws, separate receiver from stock and swap out the mag wells. The PC ships from the factory with a Ruger SR9 mag well installed and a 17-round SR9 magazine in the box, but with the furnished 5/32 hex wrench and less than five minutes of your time, you can install the supplied Glock mag well in its place. But the real genius is found in the gun’s magazine well, which can be changed to handle Ruger or Glock magazines. For one thing, it’s a takedown, which increases its utility because it can be stored and transported easily. So Ruger’s timing is spot-on, as is this new design. Ruger has tweaked the direct-blowback action by adding a tungsten weight (bottom) that provides a secondary blow to close the bolt-creating a softer shooting carbine. And pistol-caliber carbine is the fastest growing division in the action shooting sports. They’re a great choice for personal/home defense, and if you’ve ever fired one you know how effective (and fun) they are. No, and it doesn’t need to think that way because pistol-caliber carbines are hot among the general shooting public right now. What has changed? Certainly Ruger isn’t thinking police officers are going to toss their AR-15/M4-based carbines in the trash can and replace them with PC Carbines. It didn’t quite work out that way, and the carbines were discontinued in 2006.įast forward to late 2017, when Ruger introduced its new PC Carbine (that’s Pistol Caliber Carbine, not Politically Correct Carbine). The goal then was to offer law enforcement a pistol/carbine pairing-a PC9, say, that would take the same magazine and ammo as the P-series semiauto handguns Ruger hoped officers would cotton to. It’s been more than two decades since Ruger introduced its PC9 and PC4 carbines in 9mm Luger and.
