Local Sportsmans Warehouse has Ruger PC 9mm carbine for $479. Are they reliable and GTG? Thinking about picking one up.

Yeeeeeep. Saw on gun.deals with a promo code you could get one from Brownells for $397 shipped.

I've owned mine for about six months and it's been fun and reliable with various brands and types of 9mm Luger ammo. I put a 3-Lug attachment on the barrel for when I want to shoot suppressed. No regrets on buying the Ruger rifle, it is good to go!

Yup. Mine has been 100% with factory Glock mags, and all different kinds of ammo.

For this price, I'd pick one up too. Says the promo code doesn't work on Ruger Firearms though.

Pretty decent. Mine wears a red dot, so it's never really been tested for precision at long range, but at 25-50 yards, it's pretty deadly.

I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS GUN AT ALL!

At under 50 yards, only the centers of the target get shot. The rest of the target sits idly by. And my ammo reserves keep getting depleted.

This damn thing is a plague on my wallet!

I have an old original PC-9 and it is like its pistol counterpart, the P89- boringly reliable. Not a long range rifle, but I used to have it as a trunk gun in CA. Now it just sits in the safe. But a fun little carbine.

I've been eyeballing these things. Now that I'm picking up a Glock 26, I am thinking this could be a good pair. I've only read positive things about it so far. If I do, I'll probably grab a decent red dot under $200 and go kill paper and steel plates.

I just bought the keltec sub 2000 gen 2 for Glock 17 mags in Patriot Brown for $395.

My local shop also had black ones for Glock 19 mags at $379.

Just another option for you to consider.

Bought it on Black Friday. Like it. Going to take it to shoot as a PCC at a Steel match and have some fun. It’s plenty accurate with iron sights.

GTG, based on our customers' feedback. Customers who have bought them have raved about it. It may not be pretty but it seems to work real good. Thinking about acquiring one myself.

Just went to the range with mine yesterday. I've put several hundred rounds through it with no issues. It's a fun gun and accurate.

And in a world dominated by Glock pistols, one would think that that's all that matters.

I'm torn between the Ruger PC and the Beretta Storm. I like the looks of the Beretta over the Ruger, and I think both run about the same price??

I like that the magazines for the Beretta go into the grip as opposed to out front in the Ruger.

No, around here the CX4 9mm runs half again as much as the Ruger PC 9mm.

I have a new one and it’s a keeper! Popped in the Glock mag adapter and installed a SIG Romeo 5 red dot and have several hundred rounds through it without a hiccup. Love the take-down barrel. It’s basically a beefed up 10/22.
