More Ruger PC Carbine & Ruger PC40 action **VIDEO**

[BigBamBoo]

A good friend of mine has been working out of town for months not being able to shoot.
Due to the fire, he is home for a bit. He wanted to go shoot and to try the Ruger PC Carbine.
So we hit the road heading north to the Dunsmuir Rid & Gun Club's monthly fun shoot.

Turns out another gent was shooting PCC with his trusty Ruger PC40. Don't see to may of those.

Even had a multi-gun stage so I broke out my trusty Versamax.

Was still smoky up in Dunsmuir, but not half as bad as here in Redding...and much cooler.

Pretty sure my friend is going to pick up a Ruger PCC.

Fun way to spend the morning.

Been waiting for Ruger to bring out the PCC in .40 S&W but I just saw a PC40 at my LGS yesterday. I want a PCC in .40 as I don't do 9MM. they just have to make barrels and bolt faces for the 9MM version to convert the design. Hopefully this year.

Good video!

Sorry about the smoke,,, we had it here in Ojai big time a few months ago. we had to evac cuz of smoke. We live directly in the middle of the fire zone where it burnt all around us, but the fire was a ways away. Like a mile!

When we evac'd we had to drive thru places where the fire was burning right up to the road on both sides. Kind of scary.

The main attraction for the new Ruger PC Carbine is the ability to accept Glock mags. So not sure how that will effect pricing of the older PC9 and PC40 either stock or modified for the Glock mags.

Has anyone heard anything from Ruger about a new PCC in 40?
Glock mags, Ruger mags, i don't care, I just want another PC4 after my last one had an accident.

I'm anticipating that instead of the PCC in .40S&W, we will see one in .45ACP.

Love my original PC-40 AND my new PCC-9. These are very well-built carbines, reliable, run and run without fail, and great accuracy. I will put up my PC-40 against my HK USC in .45ACP on every point from accuracy to reliability, and caliber aside, the only significant difference in results is that one is 1/3rd the cost of the other.

Yeah, hammer forged, cryo, cooled in tiger-sperm barrel, phhhttt. That Ruger will do anything the HK USC can do.

With all due respect I don't believe there is any Ruger rifle designated PC-40. The proper designation is/was PC-4.

Perhaps you should re-title your video so as not to confuse people.

That is actually true and correct, which I always thought was weird for them to do, but even when it came out people were still calling it the PC-40 anyway. I know I did.

I wanted the PC-9 too for years, and when the late PCC-9 came out it was one of the few modern guns that I sought out to buy once it became available (with the threaded muzzle version).

The advantage to me is the ability to match magazines to my home-defense handgun. It would be great in 10mm, and they could also provide the same Glock conversion to the 20 as they would the 21, like they do for the Glock 17/19/26 magazines.

Regardless, it's a carbine, it's not a long-range gun; it has its urban purposes. What more you will get from 10mm is not so much more amazing than what you will get from .45ACP considering how it would be used. If you're going that route, may as well just stick with an M4-clone or Winchester Model 94 in .30-30.

Inevitably the longer barrel will give better accuracy, from any cartridge/caliber, over its handgun counterpart, and to think otherwise is countering physics.

Are you guys engineers? Because I'd love to see how the larger frame block magazines (.45/10mm) could possibly fit into the Magwell on the PC Carbine.

Nobody is suggesting a mere magwell adjustment; it would be a larger chambering and likely larger bolt on the same design. Not that hard to make the same parts they are already making beefier and bigger if necessary, but most of what is already on the Ruger PC platform would need little to no changes.

If the Chinese could take a Broomhandle and upsize it to .45ACP by hand, and work reliably in quantitative production, long before CNC was ever a thought in any engineers' heads, Ruger could quite easily make a few adjustments to their software and kick them out en masse much easier.

The PC Carbine already is a girthy carbine. A bolt, recoil system, larger receiver, etc., would make this thing even heavier.

Not to mention, getting a blow back system to run in .45, 10mm, etc., would be hit or miss. And the longevity of the aluminum receiver would be interesting to see.

But what do I know...we will see what the come out with.
