What kinda gun is that it doesn't even have a bayonet lug?

This will sell like hot cakes in Cali. No “evil features” like a pistol grip. The blow-back system (short throw) and short cartridge is so it’ll all fit in front of the “wrist” in the traditional rifle stock config. Good thinking on Ruger’s part This is just a further engineering and marketing solution to the assault weapons bans in some states ... The populace will eat it up and mods will follow. This and a Glock will do some folks nicely in an urban environment. I'll bet they sell a million ...

Mr. Broc, I think it is about time to make that move. Others have done it, you can too! You could have had a Colorado Christmas this year!

Colorado is getting as bad as California, as more and more liberals flock there. They've already screwed up the whole Denver metro area. If you're going to move, do it right and come to Arizona. Best gun laws in the country!

You could make the same "liberal moving" argument about Arizona. Specifically Phoenix and Tucson. And, no one ever wrote Christmas songs about Arizona!

They've got a long way to go to catch Colorado. And it's not going to happen anytime soon. No magazine restrictions of any kind, and no permit required for concealed or open carry.

I notice you didn't mention anything about Christmas! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbODSEP9m_A

Actually, the more I look at the PC, the more I like it. https://ruger.com/products/pcCarbine/models.html

Ruger had a rifle like that years ago! I am so gunned out that I can't imagine buying another.

 

[Pablo]

Needs more 10mm.

If only they had a version that uses glock mags

They do. The standard version ships with the mag well for Glocks, also.

 

[EdwardC]

I like it! A lot. I'll take one in 9mm now, and Another in 10mm, please!

 

[billt460]

Nice gun, and I'll get one. But I'll wait until after the second recall.

But then again ruger has the great customer service and decent turn around time. Ruger has been great to me. I will buy rugers without a second thought due to the service I have received in the past.

It reminds me in a way of the Winchester lever guns that are chambered in .357, .45, etc. This should become a very hot seller for Ruger. Broc, Wyoming is the place to be. More cattle than people and there prefer it that way.

I don't disagree with that. Stay away from the eastern end, though. Blows too much.

Never seen the point of a carbine firing 9mm. .45 ACP, yeah, 10mm Auto, yeah. But $649 MSRP? In the MAGA era?
