I bought a PC 9 Carbine a little over a year ago and love shooting it. After the 1st of the year I thought I would go buy a PC 40 Carbine and pair it with my old SR40 for a Go Bag or car bag. The last time I looked on the website (it's been a few months) it was there but not any more. I also noticed, trying to search by caliber, that Ruger has discontinued all .40 S&W completely. Just my luck when I was going to go buy one. I haven't found a single Ruger PC 40 Carbine anywhere in the last few months, somebody liked them all.
It just seemed awfully strange to me looking at other calibers that Ruger is still producing in some guns, that most people have no idea about, while dropping the .40 S&W. I understand a lot of shooters are opting for a 10 mm over a .40 S&W but I don't get it. My understanding is that most commercially available 10 mm ammo is only loaded to the same specs as a .40 S&W. So what is all the craze about to pay $10 - $15 or more for every box of under powered 10 mm? Just to say, "I got a 10. What do you have?" And if you want to say how much better the 10 mm is over the .40 S&W ... then why is 9 mm selling better?
