Just introduced Ruger PC Carbine

[WAYNO]

I like it. Would prefer .45 ACP or something, but 9mm is okay. Kinda curious what that small section of rail on the handguard is for.


Joke all you want but... If you have no neighbors anything is a good home defense gun.

Flashlight.

Light, laser maybe?

A light would make it a decent option for a home defense gun. Already thinking its a good camp gun with its take down feature. Maybe a light could be useful for that too. Still, hope it sticks around. Might pick one up in the future, or wait to see where they go with it.

wait to see where they go with it.

Go with it ? Hopefully to a dealer near me soon!

I think it might survive, only because this time, Ruger is targeting a different set of customers.

Originally, the Police Carbine was targeted for Law Enforcement, with the P-Series semi auto handguns sharing magazines. Being a Ruger, there was not much chance of acceptance of either. And the gun shops refused to market it. It was doomed to fail.

Now, Ruger is marketing this to "average citizens" for personal defense, impromptu game-getting, and plinking. If it shoots as well as the previous Police Carbine, it will be a winner.

If it survives I hope it will get into other rounds as well. It'll be even better if the rear sight can be swapped to a notched rear sight, never really a fan of a ghost ring sight.

I have two of the Ruger pc4's so I don't see one of these in my future. I would think they may do okay though.

Video from Gunblast shows pretty good 50 yard accuracy - with a scope.

My definition of butt-ugly...

The rail on the bottom is for things like a light or laser. My current "Bed side house gun" is an older PCC in .40. Added a rail to the bottom for a light. Rifle has a pressure switch to turn light on when you hold it. For just in case I wake to the "bump in the night" and power is out so there is no light. I have the stuff now to set up my 10mm PCC for this and it will become the new "go to" bedside as soon as the light is on it.

I enjoyed that video too. Nice how it handles, nice how easy it is to take down and put back, and nice how easy it is to swap mags from Ruger to Glock. That right there will win them a lot of customers.

And what is this - fine art work? This is WORSE as far as I am concerned - Heck this is uglier than a can of smashed azzholes!

It goes perfectly with Kel-Tecs ad campaign for it...

And what is this - fine art work? This is WORSE as far as I am concerned - by a long shot!

I don't think anyone can associate kel-tec with fine art.

$649 msrp puts it right around five bills street price.

Cheap ol' me just might have to git one!

 

[DunRanull]

I wouldnt buy one of these based on looks alone.... I mean, frankly they suck to look at... maybe a vertical fore-grip and larger capacity mags would do it? Or maybe a 10mm chambering?

 

[rick49]

Just curious, what exactly is the best looking rifle.

After seeing these other really pretty carbines, I can understand why a feller would think the Ruger carbine is ugly.
