A few years back we had a member here by the name of COFFEEPOT. Apparently, he was one of the designers of the PC carbines. He was very helpful and full of great inside info on many things Ruger including, obviously, the PC's. I miss him.
I have a hard and firm rule when it comes to the aftermarket mag issue, I don't use them. Let me qualify that by saying I have not tried the Pro Mags in the P series and I do hear those work. But after my experiences with the Mini's and I promised myself I'd not throw away another dime on anything but factory. When I had my PC9 I just used the Ruger 15 rounders from my pistols, never a problem. I do have a 32 round aftermarket floating around that I got in a trade but never tried it. Given the reliability of the P series they probably all work fine.

Sorry, been away for a while due to work and family demands, but wanted to let all who responded THANKS! As mentioned in an earlier post, I have decided to keep my PC9 and enjoy it. I picked up 500 rounds of Remington 115 gr. UMC to use at the range and am looking forward to seeing how the rifle performs. Do any of you use the 17 round magazines that are available? I have two of the regular 10 round magazines, but want something with a little more capacity that is reliable.
What's your experience been with aftermarket magazines?
Again, thanks for your input!
