That and Ruger has a reputation for great quality at an affordable price. My 10/22 i got when I was 10. I'm 30. Still runs, still shoots great, no malfunctions other than ammo. Mine likes CCI. Don't know why but it does. That's pretty normal for Ruger though. And firearms in general

[@max_archer]

I think of the Ruger PC series as centerfire 10/22s, and I think they make sense in that context. You get a reliable, simple, and relatively inexpensive plinking gun, from a well-established company with good aftermarket support, just like the 10/22, but without the magazine issues that plague .22LR autoloaders, and it's also chambered in a cartridge that's much more viable for home defense and more effective for practical suppressed use.

[@steveh7108]

Important note: the way you described that handguard, it will also help dissipate the heat from the barrel quicker and act like a heat sink which in turn would help the longevity and accuracy of the barrel. For a gun that is design 2Pac away in a backpack or under a seat Etc I would much prefer a handguard that would help it cool down faster even though I might do a a MAG dump from time to time doing multiple mag dumps is unlikely.

[@johncox2865]

Right. It isn’t a carbine at all. It’s a pistol. You don’t hold a pistol by the barrel, do you?

[@justanotherinternetexpert7743]

6:50 Ruger is missing the boat with this thing IMO. With that quick change barrel they should be selling diffent barrel sizes and caliber conversions, and should be selling kits to move between the carbine chassis with grip and adjustable stock, and the fixed stock version, i am sure it would not be that hard to do. Then they would have something the others dont....Good video guys thanks.

[@justanotherinternetexpert7743]

@Evocati well they have not done it yet, and there is no evidence that they are planning to, and they have already sold many rifles, sooo i believe they would have done it from the start if that was the plan, i also believe they would have engineered the rifle to be field stripped without tools if they were planning to make them that modular. I have no crystal ball tho. I am not sure what point your trying to make, or what it adds to the disscussion at hand but Thanks tho...i guess.

[@Jebusite100]

Why should they do anything that you mention? They can't even keep the PC Charger in stock.

[@JDPri77]

I had my sights set on the CZ, but when the Ruger came out at $250 less, it was my choice. Sure a $2500 gun is probably easier to shoot. Also, if you compare the balance of the two, you should put the can on both. I know the Ruger is heavier on the barrel, but probably not as drastic as you said since you had the can on the Ruger, but not on the others. I have had mine for about two weeks. It took me a week to get the SB brace in. I am adding a cheaper red dot. For me it was the right choice. I have several CZs and several Rugers. I like sticking with what I know. Cheers.

[@moombamatt]

Replying to an old comment here. The charger can use cz Pxx mags with the Ruger American magwell. Just fyi.

[@brandens7615]

Another feature that it has that its competitors dont is the ability to use a variety of different manufacturers magazines. Which offers mag compatibility with many more platforms.as far as budget braced pistols I like the extar ep9 for a tick over 400$ you get a feather light 9mm braced pistol that takes glock mags. And it is light. It feels cheap, alot of plastic but it shoots good and seems to be reliable.

[@GarrettLucasWV]

For me, the main reason to have a PCC is to complement my pistol. The Ruger PC Charger is the only one in the group that you showed that takes magazines from a conventional pistol like a Glock (unless I'm forgetting one). All the others (CZ, HK, Stribog, Sig) are proprietary to that specific PCC.

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

Garrett Lucas And...I believe it can take the Glock drum mags (50 rd). "Fun Drums."

With a scout light and a mini acog it weighs almost exactly 6 pounds. An I wasn't all that concerned about weight so I didn't buy the lightest parts out there. So I'm sure you could shave off some pounds if you tried. Sure the ammo weighs more. But it's also far more effective.

You can go from pistol to rifle, but not the other way.

[@COIcultist]

@@colsoncustoms8994I've posted this question elsewhere but I'd like an industry opinion or preferably knowledge. I'm curious about this even though it doesn't relate to me as I'm a UK resident. I thought mere possession of some things if combined became illegal. So could you posses the Charger and get a carbine barrel for it as it's still a pistol? You couldn't do the reverse without a tax stamp but what if you own both charger and carbine? Does possession of combinations that could become a short barrelled rifle make it so by nature of owning both?

[@Archangel0804]

Tim....What the Ruger offers that its other competitors doesn't offer is quite a bit more than just the takedown feature....what the Ruger offers is a lot more bang for the buck. The PRICE POINT for the Ruger is MUCH less than the H&K SP5...Less than the Stribog, Less than the Sig,....The closest to the price point is the Scorpion EV9 which has one of the worst triggers possible in this class. The Ruger PC Charger costs less than the Scorpion and the Trigger is AWESOME. The quality of the gun is almost on par with an MP5 /SP5. It is a tack driver and built like a tank with an excellent trigger. And if you are using a can the takedown feature is really nice to make the gun compact for traveling. My only complaint is not the weight but instead the lack of a great set of iron sights

[@blbbtactical6969]

Been waiting for this to come back around so I can buy one.

[@DrparthdS]

Don't buy it..mine doesn't fit with the glock

[@thetobaccoguy1751]

Get the Stribog. They are absolutely awesome. I have around 2,000 rds through mine. +P, target loads, suppressed, unsuppressed, ZERO malfunctions. My 10 year old daughter was ripping bullseyes this afternoon with it, to example ease of use.

[@citrus737]

@Parth s. Call Ruger, they’ll fix it.

[@els1950]

Ed poo it ùip pop

[@jakehansen3418]

If I can find this under 600 bucks I will buy 2 seems like the perfect truck gun and or travel gun plus it's ruger so I know any issues will be handled.

[@rangerup1804]

Please excuse what may sound ;like a stupid question but when you extend the "Hand Stock" and shoulder it don't you now have an SBR and doesn't it require to have a special BATF license?

[@EastCoastMan603]

Very nice - makes more sense then the rifle. Thank you. 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@v.german11b]

I own a Ruger PC model 19122 9mm carbine tactical. It is stunningly good! Built strong for durability, with a delayed blockback system, a floating Mlok handguard hardcoat anodized, with collapsible stock and pistol grip, and a cold hammer-forged, chrome-moly steel barrel with ultra-precise rifling providing exceptional accuracy, the barrel is fluted and nitride coated for rust protection. It is VERY accurate, way less noise than the 5.56 cal, with less over traveling and over penetration issues. The Ruger PC 19122 is the finest home defense weapon system, excellent for personal protection and security.

[@garyggarner7738]

Great Video and Demonstration! Thank You so Much!

[@Motoboo_Marine]

The PC Charger, like a lot of these, is one of those guns that would benefit well from a vertical foregrip. Too bad NFA laws complicate that process

[@nedrain9044]

A slightly angled foregrip should be compliant.

[@ProbablyTooLoud]

AFG type devices are worth looking into.

[@Jebusite100]

The mag well on the PC Charger acts like a built in angled foregrip, bring the hand stop back a little and you have a snug fit.

[@nedrain9044]

@ALL HAIL SATAN What are you talking about? Please explain, troll.

[@nedrain9044]

@ALL HAIL SATAN I see. Yes, the NFA should be abolished. But it hasn't been yet. So I was simply pointing out a way around the issue. I see nothing shameful there. You may as well call everyone who complies with the NFA shameful. By the way, your username sucks!

[@KaDaJxClonE]

Wish Ruger would offer it with a 8 inch barrel. That's the optimum point of 9mm barrel length velocity without sacrificing mobility. Especially since the gun breaks down with the push of a button.

First time seeing you. This guy can shoot.

[@reginaldmorgan9625]

Man... some people get to have all the fun. Love the review!

[@chrisfishdawg]

Really great Video!! Loving my Ruger 🇺🇸🤘🏽

[@rustyridenour2136]

Changing the charging handle from right to left doesn't make it left handers friendly the shell still come out the right side of it, hitting a lefty in the face and neck

[@Nomadic_Gaming]

what i took from this video is that the stribog whe the a3 drops and eventually has any issues ironed out will shoot like an mp5 and cost alot less...... and look better to me...... oh yeah something about a ruger gun but i forgot about that part of the video

[@jayn8392]

Pretty cool. I would definitely take just about any of the other options over it but at the price it is pretty cool and I would be more likely to actually buy the Ruger. I love these little 9mm carbines but I see them as more of a fun range toy. Obviously they do have their uses in a defensive capacity, but I would sooner buy a full on rifle calibre or a 5.7x28 at a similar length. I unfortunately don't really have any range toys as I can't bring myself to buy a weapon that is inferior to other options where it matters in a practical sense. If I had money to burn though, I would have one in a heartbeat...

[@bojanbandulaja]

As always a good show. Greetings from Serbia. Good bless you.

[@MThrow]

With the Ruger being a break down, it would be the perfect "get home" backpack gun because it would make such a small footprint in the backpack.

[@nunezski54]

The MPX-K is an absolute dream!!!! So glad I spent the money for it....yes pricey, but absolutely amazing to shoot and run in competitions!!

[@starlinsims2969]

Very accurate pcc. Looks good

[@john-mf1qm]

Ruger needs to make this and the carbine in 45 ACP

[@lazycyberdog4746]

I was waiting for this one👍

[@nrd515]

I have a KT SUB2000, and a Freedom Ordinance FX-9. The KT takes Beretta 92 mags and for some reason, mags that cause my 92 fits work just fine in it. The FX-9 has the cheap Korean Glock mags and so far, it's been great. But I'm buying a PC Charger as soon as I pay some bills off. I shot one and liked it a lot and the takedown feature is done better than the Sub2000's is. I already bought a billet charging handle, mag release and a flash suppressor. Just for the value alone, the PC Charger is a great dea for the money. IMHO, a lot of the 9mm carbines are seriously overpriced.
