The Truth About The Ruger PC Carbine: 1000 Round Review

[@bikerbobcat]

For my first (so far only) firearm, I'm really happy with this, bought a couple months ago. I was very anti-gun for a long time, then things got interesting, and I decided to get something for my suburban DC-area home and family and chose this. With very little experience beforehand, this was easy to pick up and a TON of fun to shoot. Now if I could only find affordable 9mm ammunition...

[@HuWhiteNat]

Glad to have another responsible gun owner. Your family’s safety and security is your responsibility. If things go wrong, you are their first line of defense. Hopefully, you never vote for another candidate in favor of stripping your God given right to self defense.

[@dvonehrlich]

Bought one specifically for my wife to use for home defense. She had zero experience with any firearms and a lot of fear, she couldn’t muscle my shotgun and my AR or handguns were intimidating her. It seemed like the best all around affordable option with intuitive controls and ergonomics. I put a Tlr8 light underneath the barrel and a Romeo 5 on top. It is really easy shooting right out of the box and I feel confident it can do the job around my house, I would recommend it for anyone getting their first defensive gun.

I got the Ruger PC Carbine based entirely on this video, Much to my surprise the one they had at my favorite shop had the collapsable stock and the keymod hand guard. It didn't come with any sights but didn't really care that much because they gave me $100 bucks off on a great Holosun. They sell me a lot of guns so they asked me not to tell anyone but for the price this gun is fantastic. My friends and I do a mix snowmobile/shooting event every year for a few days up in the west central Idaho mountains. You get total 500 rounds, can mix and match with one rifle, one pistol no sight and one pistol with sight. All mags have to be prepacked. I won easy this year against my friends who fight the entire trip between AR and AK guys with the following firearm mix: Ruger PC Carbine, Glock 17 total stock , and HK VP9 Match, upgraded trigger with Holosun sight. The ability to carry less magazines because the Ruger uses the same magazines as Glock was a huge advantage. 30 Round Glock mags worked great. Anti-2A people have no idea how much fun firearms are. Their loss. Love this channel.

I get it, we need to be educated on that stuff but I’m glad to simply just watch gun reviews

[@donaldardell5742]

While you mentioned you're not a open/iron sights guy, Ruger's stock ring/post setup is absolutely excellent, particularly when combined with the stock's drop-at-comb. That the sight radius isn't the entire length of the receiver and barrel isn't an issue, and might be a benefit, because they provide more peripheral view of the target than a receiver-mounted rear sight. They're easy to acquire and intuitive to use, making quick work of fast hits on a 6" plate at 100+ yards from the standing position.

[@colt45acp1000]

Bought a plain vanilla PC Carbine a short while ago based on reviews like yours. Extremely pleased with it so far; it digests anything I put through it and it’s accurate- like 11/2” groups at 50 yards with the factory sights. Thanks for your good work!

[@themetalmaiden7462]

Great review of this platform. You're right, these guns are fun to shoot. I was looking for a PCC for awhile, and like a lot of people was looking at AR based weapons. A friend has the Ruger and recommended it to me. With everything going on over the past year, it was a little hard to find one, but I eventually got a Ruger with the M-lok front end. The first time I took it to the range, I was pretty impressed. I only had to make a minor sight adjustment and I was on target right where I wanted to be. The gun is a lot of fun to shoot, and has actually moved into the truck gun slot for me. Since I usually have one of my Glocks with me, getting one of these Rugers made sense since I could use the same Glock mags in the Ruger and it meant that from a logistics standpoint, I only had to carry 1 type of ammo and 1 type of mag.

[@lorenzovillegas2457]

Beast mode! You could get a Load bearing vest, (I like the military surplus MOLLE style you can get on amazon that are inexpensive, completely adjustable and battle ready!) Put some glock magazine pouches on there with a pistol holster and have a great time at the range while being capable of carrying 6+ mags at the same time

[@barneyrice8502]

I wonder if these Mags would work in my Ruger P-85

[@anotherhuman3924]

​​@@barneyrice8502 edit no they will work in an original Ruger carbine. These are interchangeable with the SR9 and security 9 Ruger pistols. I could be mistaken, but I really wish they would make mag wells for any 9mm you can buy I mean it would be very nice, but so would free ammo. They do have three or 4 different mag wells for Ruger american, Glock, and SIG as well as the aforementioned but I have not seen any others. As of yet. I hope I am very wrong. Sure easy swap as well.

Thank you! One of the best reviews of the Ruger PCC I've seen to date. I had an FTE first 5 rounds. The last 800 rounds had zero malfunctions. MLOK is nice but heavier than the standard handguard. I'm always noticing how little muzzle movement there is with JP and Ruger PCCs. The JP is flatter shooting than the Ruger's still very flat too. Wishing Ruger would make a light or competition version. Non-takedown. Shorter/lighter MLOK handguard. 14-15 inch barrel with pinned comp to make it 16 inches. Different sized tungsten dead blow weights for different kinds of 9mm ammo.

I've had mine for about a year now. I put the Midwest industries m-lok rail on it. Great upgrade that expands your options for mounting grips and lights and etc. I get avg of 3 MOA accuracy or better. If you have one of these check out the Norma ENVY 124gr ammunition. It's specifically made for use in carbines and has a little more punch that gives you a slightly flatter trajectory and more energy to drive the direct blowback system. Love this gun! Fun fun fun

[@paperback10]

Great video! I have owned one of these for several years now. I replaced the Ruger stock and handguard with a Magpul Backpacker which is more ergonomic for me, and also provides a nice compartment in the underside of the stock to hold an extra magazine. Also has a small waterproof compartment in the handgrip. The Magpul stock also provides extender inserts to increase length of pull.

Great video. I could not help but notice the person shooting this model left handed, as this was one of my questions regarding this rifle. I learned a great lesson many years ago at Boy Scot Camp, which taught me to shoot a rifle left handed. I am a natural right handed shooter, but my right eye was compromised ( surgically repaired since then) so I would try and shoot right handed, but I would look through the sights with my left eye, leaning over and across the stock, giving me a compromised line of sight, instead of using my right eye which would had been correct for right handed shooting. So I learned left handed to use my better sight left eye. Only reason I mentioned this is that it seemed the left handed shooter may had also looking across the stock as I had many years ago before being corrected by that shooting instructor. Maybe I was mistaken, but it brought back an old lesson. Again very informative video.

[@tracyclaystowell6431]

[@rockydubois2418]

Yep that’s the bullets flying. It’s pretty cool when it shows up. I noticed it first when shooting a 1911 .45 with the sun behind me late afternoon, I originally thought it was only because it was slow .45 ammo but you can see 9 too if shooting long distance at the right time of day and the right lighting.

[@TheAir2142]

For me personally the biggest problem I have had with my PC carbine was screws coming loose. It has soooooo many screws that liked to walk out on me at the range I ended up leaving it in the safe for a year till I got the magpul aftermarket stock. It adds a bunch of compartments including one in the grip where I can store some Alan keys for the screws.

[@Desperado3248]

Very good video. My go to hone defense carbine was and for most times is an M1Carbine with 110 so. When I got it , you used to be able to get Winchester ball, 50 rounds for$10. Those days are gone. I reload for it so it it is still viable but not for most. I picked up the Ruger. In fact I had written to Ruger and requested this rifle be made a couple of years before it came out. My logic was that the time was ripe for a 9mm sporter/ home defense carbine like their old carbines. I live in a restricted state, but the rationale for its’ design as you stated is multiple. First, legality. Next optics. Ask the McClosky family if they would have fared better standing outside their home with the Ruger instead of an AR. You can travel with the Ruger taken down, with 10 round mags almost anywhere. To be safe get the non threaded compliant version. My only double stack 9mm was a Browning High power , so I picked up a gen 5 Glock 19.nice home defense combo. The indoor noise is no worse than the M1 , and much less than an AR. Having a few Ruger 10/22s this carbine was a natural. I em would like to see a night sight option. For optic may go for a Vortex which see through mount allowing use of open sights. Only feeding issue I had was with one Magpul Glock 19 mag with 115 CCI ball ammo.

I bought one a few years ago. I was impressed with its accuracy.

[@acars9999]

That was funny... Well played Mrs Outlaw.

[@michaelnorman9962]

She's great!

Thanks

[@schlinge-fling]

Thinking of picking one of these up. I wish they would produce a 10mm or 45 version.

[@blbbtactical6969]

I bought the Takedown Charger 9mm pistol about 3months ago and I love it! Of course I put the Sig folding brace and red furniture. It's really cool how it breaks down and becomes the perfect backpack/truck gun

[@thisismychannel607]

I just ordered a pc charger yesterday. I searched all my local stores before going online, they're all so bare right now. Grabagun was the the only place i could find one, paid 1100 for it + side folding brace. I was kickin myself intheass for nor not buying earlier when prices were better but waiting for prices to go down might be a mistake too, there's no sign things are gonna get better for buying guns/ammo

For the record, I was just making a joke at the end of the video people. 🤪🤪

[@jackd2083]

You have a good sense of humor. And you’re a great shot too.

[@glenj.taylor2938]

I took it as a joke and laughed. There's too many "sensitive" people these days, aren't there? 😄 Thank you for being involved and in the video, it was great. Also, what is your opinion on the rifle and are they any others you would say it's similar to or better/worse than?

[@mrshonestoutlaw]

@@glenj.taylor2938 it was a lot of fun to shoot! But I like something a little more compact especially for a PCC. But it was definitely fun and I was clearly accurate with it. I’m not a very good reviewer lol

[@lazylizard6532]

Savage! 🤪👍

Not quite the Saturday evening penetration testing you had in mind eh.

[@JohnKeller-vw5lq]

I love mine. Its everything you said it is. Fun, reliable, and accurate.

[@prepperoverwatch7965]

I have been wanting one mainly because I carry a SR9C most of the time, it would be a pretty cool truck gun, and added velocity with the 16 inch barrel.

[@rickylonghaul682]

Yeah I've got a Security 9 I carry so I was thinking about picking one of these up

[@furion..]

It's been done, I don't recall who or where, perhaps Mr. Harrell in his PCC review, but it's not much of an increase, seems like maybe 15%.

Good review. I have this rifle in the American Flag version and love it. When I bought it about six months ago you couldn't get one at normal pricing so when a big box store had it available for a really great price I ran out to get it. The store clerk said they had one rifle left and it was black. When we opened the box we found out it as the American flag variant and I was pleasantly surprised. Due to the ammo crunch I haven't been able to put many rounds through it so your review was perfectly timed. Although the rifle is a bit heavy it does feel extremely durable and capable of taking a pounding. It would have been great if you had actually shown the rifle broken down. Once broken down many people use this as a backpack gun. It's not as small and light as a Sub2000 but it is a much better made take down rifle. You were spot on about it being a great ranch rifle for 100 yards or so and of course you can always use your magazine from your pistol if you're looking at a shot that's a bit long for your pistol. That one (feeding?) issue did look like an oddity and with over 1,000 rounds through it, it seems like this is a very reliable firearm. BTW, I hope you guys don't get divorced, you have a great camerawoman and the banter between you both is great, lol. God bless. 👍🏼

[@chairrider2462]

Picked mine up at the FFL today. Regular take down model with black stock. Was surprised at the heft! At first i thought the whole receiver was steel. Learned it was thick alloy with a massive steel bolt with a heavy tungsten insert in the bolt. Very much looking forward to a range trip in a couple days!

[@alanstevens1296]

I got one a year ago! Very fine. With the 33-round mag looks kinda skinny and not very imposing, but technically it has all those 9 mm slugs so we know there is a lot of power there.

[@critiquemytechnique2.0]

Imagine 33 rds of buffalo bore out that 16 in barrel, scary power

[@houseofkinjo]

Great Video content. Educational and you and your wife always manage to include some humor. Nice one!!!!

[@patrickduguay8]

I have the 'Canadian' version with the longer barrel. First time at the range it worked perfectly. After reading/watching a number of reviews, I decided to do all the upgrades. I went with the M*Carbo parts. There was a noticable improvement, but for me the main reason of upgrading to the M*Carbo parts is durability and precision machining of many of the part. Overall, I love this carbine, lots of fun at the range.

[@brianpartlow5530]

I love mine! I have a sig romeo 5 red dot on it. Accurate and reliable! I have a security 9 so I have the ruger magazine sleeve in it. The best way to describe it is a smooth shooter. My kids like it too. Very light recoil and not too heavy to carry.

[@beardly0121]

My brother in law has the mlok version of this and I think it's a cool gun. It's also weirdly quiet with the 16in version. I've shot it out to 100yards and it was accurate. Neat gun.

[@JB-ls5pq]

I was wondering about that. How far out can you hear the gunshot as a recognisable gunshot. Im trying to find a fox gun and not scare away other game for other hunters. Where I live ,supressors are completely illegal so i was hoping to buy a pcc with subsonic ammo in order to quiet it down substantially .

[@redbyrd64]

I’ve got the PC carbine in .40 S&W. I’ve paired it with the Ruger SR40C. I’ve also installed a sig Romeo red dot and 3X magnifier.

[@SpeKterDesigns]

That jam is particularly noted by people who have taken say the Ruger 44 carbine and tried to convert it into a straight feed mag instead of the side extract mag so it will be interesting to see if more of those jams play out as people get them dirty, use different pressure rounds, experience different environments or even just hold their gun canted.

[@martinbajus2551]

You are the man. Thank you for everything you do. God bless you and your family.

[@latigomorgan]

Thanks for the 1,000 round review. I really like that you did the night shooting in the bitter cold, too. Low temps like that tend to change how certain firearms perform. I don't recall too many gun reviews on KZbin with night shooting. I got one of these for my wife just as the coof hit last year, and I still had to drive out of state to pick it up, as there were none that I could find available in my state. (For those who are unaware, you can purchase long guns in adjoining states as long as they are legal in your state.) Anyway, my question is what flashlight mount are you using, and flashlight?

[@ccassidy43montana]

Great review. I got one for 499. Put the Midwest industries free float and the chassis... good but expensive upgrade.. but out of the box this gun just plain runs... I've put 2000 rounds of steel wolf, regular brass range ammo, aluminum and federal steel... only a few hiccups with KCI mags... get one and a key tec sub 2000... good 9mm carbines... and you get anywhere from 250 to 450fps thru the longer barrel... and they shoot much softer and much quieter than a 556...

[@p99guy]

I went with the Magpul stock, that has a compartment that will hold a magpul 24 rd mag, and a magpul 12 shot mag fits in the magwell with the barrel stowed. I replaced the ruger trigger assembly with the Volqaurtson trigger ( big improvement)

[@lloydsims1573]

I've had (still have) a Marlin Camp carbine in 9mm. Put around 500 rounds through it then stored it for about 10 years. When I took it out to a range it only fired twice and jammed. When I tore it down at home I found the 'plastic?' recoil buffer had disintegrated - looked like air soft pellets. Ordered two replacements and it's back to normal. It also uses the same magazines for my S&W 5906 (the gun shop called it the Starsky and Hutch gun).

[@billyhines2734]

I know what you mean. It’s almost like shooting an m1 carbine in 9mm

[@ricks2651]

Exactly my thought.

[@rudder727]

Love my M1... but 9mm is (was) cheaper than 30carbine ammo. I think now though since 9mm went up to $.80/round m1 may actually be cheaper again

[@Bowfella]

Chiappa makes an m1 in 9mm but the ruger PC is objectively a better gun. The Chiappa M1 honestly sucks as far as a PCC goes.

[@thegreenman2030]

The new Magpul backpacker stock makes me have to come back around to this PCC. Great video!

[@fitztech]

I just bought the adjustable stock model with the mlok forend. I love this gun. It's probably the most fun gun I have in my collection.
