NIB PC4 questions

[roland45acp]

Hello all,
i found this while surfing the net this morning. i have a HP 995 and for what it cost its an ok gun. But when i saw this i just about fell in love.
It looks very stout.
Does ruger make higher cap mags for this? and does the price seem right for a new in the box pc4?
I am seriously considering making a bid.
thanks to all who have the time to answer.
Roland

Check Ruger's web site for what magazines they offer. I've seen several recommendations for Mec-Gar magazines.

at 500 dollars that is a steal. i paid that much for a used one. NIB they should go for 600-700 dollars.
Ruger only made 11 rounders......they only make 10 rounders for it today.
Aftermarket mags can be found..i hear Promag makes a 20 rounder,but with reliability questionable?

I have 3 of the 20-round Pro-Mags for my PC-4. It is very difficult to load more than 15 into them due to the heavy follower spring pressure. So far I have never had a malfunction with them, though.

I bought a Pro Mag 20rd.for my .40 3 years ago and I had to bend the holding lips of the mag to match the ones from the Ruger 10 rd. ones,otherwise the rounds wouldn't feed right. But it's still hard to load mor than 15 rds.in the Pro Mag.

FYI, This NIB unit sold for only $505 + 35 ship!!

I could have bought one in good condition last year for less than $400 at a gun show and like a fool passed it up... only because I was too near sighted and don't have a need for a .40 cal. After the fact I realized I could have turned that rifle around and passed it on to someone else who would have given it the love it deserved.

My opinion on high capacity mags for the PC9s and 4s..... really don't need them.. the real advantage to these rifles is the compatibility with the same caliber Ruger P pistol... If you have one of these rifles then you need a matching pistol to go with it.

Ruger p94, keep your eyes peeled, they are out there. in fact PC4s are a lot more prevalent than the PC9s.

 

[ruger p94]

Thank you for the encouragement.

my pc4 is a 3,000 serial number. That one for sale was a 600 serial number making it a 1997 model. (1st year made) .
They only made 15,000 approximately of the PC4's. Many went to Police departments who held them for years. A lot are being turned in now since they are about 14 years old now. My town still has them in every cruiser. I'd love to get another one for parts and plinking....... keep another for home defense!

Found one!! PC4, 4 10 round mags, 3 20 round mags, sling, box, manual, and rail for sight. $720.00 shipped. I think that's fair. Right?

 

[blume357]

that seems a little high to me... but then there is a hundred or two's worth of extra stuff added in there.

 

[Razor]

I was going to say high also, but the extras do balance it out, I guess.

Rough, but maybe a good price to start?

i guess its the safety that doesn't work. Since the trigger group doesn't come out, how could you fix the safety?
