Another PC Question(s)

[Highstandardguy]

I think I am going to have a chance to pickup a PC4 at a very reasonable price. I also may have a chance at a PC9 which I've wanted for a while. Any advise on either of these?

I'm looking at the PC4 mainly because of price and I may not be able to get the PC9.

Buy PLENTY of ammo. :lol:

Very reliable little carbines, you are going to love them. Buy them while you can... most owners hang on to these, and prices keep going up.

The heavy trigger takes a little getting used to, but you will get familiar with it fairly quickly. It's not a super-accurate target rifle, but is very adequate as a SD weapon out to 50-60 yards which is what it's designed for.

Buy LOTS of ammo for it (them), you going to need it.

What Ruger P pistols do you have now?

Good question blume. The answer is zero. I had one but sold it to one of my kids to buy a Sig. I'm guessing the PC9 won't use a Sig 228 magazine.

The PC's are great.

And, unless you're really spoiled, I would not worry too much about the trigger. No heavier than any battle rifle trigger I've ever used.

I own a PC4, but have also shot PC9's. Early gun-writer reports said the .40 was more accurate, but I really couldn't see a difference between the two.

Yep, get either one, while ya can.

WAYNO.

Even though there are more of them, I would pass on the PC4 or if it is a great deal, less than 425, then buy it and resell. Get the PC9... much easier on the wallet with ammo and then go the P95 route with a pistol and you got it covered at least with practicing and not burning a hole in your wallet pocket....

Yes, I know the 9mm is a whimp round and won't stop a full grown grizzly or gang banger... but then my personal opinion has always been that if they come at me they are not going to get one 9mm round...probably a full or close to it magazine.

I agree on the PC4, but I'm competing with a child for the PC9. I'll have to wait and see if he loves Dad enough to let him have it. :lol:
