Oooohhh...may have to get my 9mm PC Carbine a friend in 2024. 45 ACP from a carbine is stout stuff indeed. It performed quite well in every theater of WWII.

This will be banned in CA, et al. But not for me.

Now 9mm and maybe 40. I believe I have been mentioning this for a while.

This one is going to be big seller. I've been resisting getting another blaster, but I think I'll have get one. Already got the ammo.
A 10mm would be an absolute shredder

I think Ruger probably already has other calibers in work for this platform, and just waiting to see how this one sells.
I also think the hoodrats in the cities will be on the hunt for it.

Nice! A 45 ACP version definitely makes me go from Meh, to Hmmm...
45 is eh to me. 10mm, 357sig now those would make a hard core PCC+. If it could be bumped up to handle 460 Rowland that would be next level.

I suggest that anyone considering buying one download the instruction manual from the Ruger site (or the below link), paying particular attention to the disassembly and assembly process. It's not what I would call a simple process. There's a couple things I don't particularly like: The 2 part bolt, and the buffer spring/guide rod assembly which looks a lot like the one in a Buckmark, in that it uses a 'C' clip to hold everything together (see the illustrated parts breakdown). I suspect the aftermarket suppliers will come up with a better captured spring assy. pretty quickly.
Ruger likes to build in a few tricks. I remember the Mk's were the most common bag O gun gunsmiths would see. 10-22 as well.

This will be great brush gun for Blacktail Deer!
I think I'm among many who thought that, if Ruger made a .45 ACP carbine, it would be based on the PC9 design. I wonder why they didn't???
I honestly never paid any attention to the LC carbine in 5.7x28 because I have no interest in the caliber so don't know anything about the action. If I did, maybe the answer would be obvious. Is it blowback or does it have a mechanical locking system?
If nothing else, the PC is a couple hundred dollars less than the LC.

Maybe they will produce a 9mm, but Ruger "doesn't do 40 S&W" (apparently somebody high up is 'triggered' by the "Smith & Wesson" part of the cartridge name). Obviously they don't have a problem using "Glock" mags.

Ruger may not "do 40 S&W" at the moment but they have in the past. I have two of the recent PC carbines - one in 9mm and one in .40 S&W. Currently only the 9mm is listed on their website but my guess is the .40 S&W was discontinued due to not enough sales volume to justify continuing production. It is a sweet carbine and I have no issues with itMaybe they will produce a 9mm, but Ruger "doesn't do 40 S&W" (apparently somebody high up is 'triggered' by the "Smith & Wesson" part of the cartridge name).
