Ruger Carbine

[gunfreak]

Just picked up the Ruger carbine 9mm at Sportsman's Warehouse along with some 17 round glock mags. Can't wait to get home and put some rounds through it.

I have really enjoyed mine. Lots of fun!

Neat-O. Let us know how it runs.

I wish mine could use Glock Magazines.
I'm stuck with Ruger.

But it runs fine. And is fun.

Yeah I will update with pics and possibly if you're all good, a video...

Take my advice and perform a COMPLETE disassembly, clean and lube before firing.
I didn't because it appeared clean and lubed (maybe a bit more lube than it should have had) and I experienced some commonly reported 'issues' with them which have NOT appeared again since a good cleaning.
The shipping oil they use I now believe is the root of all the issues.

didn't yours come with the quickOchangeO mag well parts? Or is yours the old PC9 not the new spiffy PCC9???

That sounds like a good time waiting to happen!

I really like the rifle, but like so many guns, I wish it came in stainless. That, and I wish it accepted my XDm mags. I wonder how hard it would be to machine your own mag well adapter?

You are going to love it. Buy lots of 9mm is the only advice I can give now.

I'm thinking I need to start asking folks on this forum who buy this guy for their unused Ruger magazine it comes with.

You can have mine. You can either come to St. Helens to pick it up or send me 7 dollars and I will ship it to you.

Old style.
But I like it better than the new.

Medic: I had an original PC4 circa 1990 that looked like this:



Much prefer the new version.
Obviously different than your photo.

I would love to have one rechambered in .357 Sig.

 

[RVTECH]

Much prefer the new version.

So do I .
I never owned an original but a friend has one I shot many times and I always tried to buy it from him but it was always no dice!
Glad I didn't and the PCC came along!

re: 357 Sig/PCC rechamber???

I'd bet the extra juice wouldn't be worth the squeeze.

Order ammo by the case
Order up some of the Glock happy sticks too. Damn they are fun with those 33 round mags!!!
Also watch it when you take it apart to clean. The bolt assembly is made to be taken apart without tools if people wish too. One of early times cleaning I had it outside using spray cleaner. Came apart in my hand from how I was squeezing it while spraying. Then had to open the diagram to see how it went back together.

Oh yeah I always strip them down and lubricate my way.

I'm wondering to the guys who have one already, is it worth it to put on a 9mm muzzle break?
