Ruger PC-9 Carbine Takedown

[Member 5605]

Been thinking on these as of late. Never even handled one tho.

How's charging it & mag swaps? Suitable for folks with weaker arms/slight arthritic hands?

Super super easy.

Most mags all but drop free and while the bolt locks back on the last round, to charge it requires about 1/16" pull on the charging handle and let it go... Ruger did that right. Easy to release also because the handle isn't small. Easy to grab ahold of.

I swapped all controls to the left side and it works great for me there. Come on down or up depending where you are and try...

I did the bolt-handle swap to left-side & it works REALLY good that way!!!

After quite a few range trips with this rifle, I'm still impressed and well pleased with the purchase.

Now I need one in another caliber...

Oh and I can still run slower velocity than the 3.5gr of powder I'm putting behind it.

Next batch will be 3.0gr.

Some of my buddies look at me like I get paid by Ruger to sell these I am so up on mine. The people who designed this really checked a lot of the want boxes. Best money I have spent in a long time. Would LOVE another in 10mm!!!

I did that too. Even though I am right handed I really like the handle on the left side.
