    9mm carbines much more appealing with more than ten rounds

    Not long ago, I strongly considered buying a 9mm carbine for home defense. 9mm ammo is affordable and fun to practice with. But I already had a 9mm handgun, so I felt that a 9mm carbine with ten rounds wasn't enough of an increase in power to warrant the hassle of a carbine's length and weight. But if standard capacity magazines are legal again, then I think the game has changed. A 9mm carbine with a 30 round magazine seems worth it. I may have to give the Ruger PC Carbine another look soon.

    Same here, I actually bought a bunch of Glock 19 mags in preparation of buying a Ruger PC carbine.

            I didn't care for the extra length of the 33's sticking out so I ordered a bunch of Magpul/Glock 21 rounders for my Ruger PC9.

              Glock has factory 24 rounders now. They would probably be just right.

                  I was thinking the exact same thing.

                    the Glock 24 rd magazines are nice, not too long, and perfect size for the 9mm carbine semi auto.

                            I agree with OP's sentiment. My Ruger PC Carbine with 10 round magazine was not a significant enough improvement over my Ruger 10 round pistol. But with some Ruger SR9, 17 round magazines, the carbine kicks the pistol out of the competition. The two packs of Ruger mags is a good bargan.

                              They're twice the price or more of the Magpul MAG661 21 round mags - not worth it for three more rounds capacity.
