Ruger PC Carbine With Free Float Rail

[Maksim 1,504]

I had the PC Carbine w/ Rail ever since I got back from the Ruger media event.  Mostly, just had fun shooting around with it, both with and without a supprssor.   FINALLY, I took it to the range to shoot for accuracy.  While I suspected it was going to be accurate, WOW... is it accurate, both with reloads and cheap factory ammo.

Video premier tonight at 9:30 PM... and oh yeah, had factory ammo go boom.    Join in on the YouTube premier chat, like and subscribe.

Great video.  I love mine although I do think it is a little heavy for what it is.  Never had any reliability issues after about 800 rounds.

I did add a second OEM charging handle to the left side because I like to have the option to charge from either side.

I  always wanted an older Ruger 9mm carbine, even though it didn't have a stellar track record... But these are awesome.

Thanks, on the heavy side, I think there will be solutions soon.

I was told directly that the PC Carbine family will grow in the future.

Hopefully a 10mm is in the works. I'd buy one right away.

The problem with 10mm, versus say 357 Sig, or 40, is that it requires a new block for the Glock large frame magazines.  The design and engineering and associated molds runs fairly high.  BUT, I think it will come.

The question they have to answer is... Where is there a better return, designing a new block for Glock large frame mags, i.e 10mm and 45 ACP... OR  9mm varieties of M&P, Beretta 92FS, CZ75, etc.

I am learning this first hand working on getting that gun in a classic soviet caliber. lol.

Any hints at what the solution might be to the weight issue?  Non-heavy barrels perhaps?  I know the current version is fluted to shed some weight but it is still a heavy barrel.

The biggest chunk of weight is actually the free float rail.

As far as the other, I really should not say much, although there is nothing that was made definite yet.  I think the Shot Show 2020 season will be quite exciting, particularly as it relates to perhaps non-nfa firearms.
