The Ruger PC Carbine semi-automatic rifle is a pistol carbine in 9mm caliber equipped with a 16" barrel, aluminum M-Lok forend, and Magpul brand accessories that enhance ergonomics.
The PC Carbine semi-automatic rifle is a new addition to the Ruger brand's range, serving as a replacement for the PC9 model. Thanks to the 9mm Luger caliber, it can use either Ruger or GLOCK magazines by simply switching the magazine well, which is included in the set. Some parts of the rifle are made from glass fiber-reinforced polymer, positively affecting the weapon's mobility and low weight, which is only 3.3 kg.
The Ruger PC Carbine has a 16-inch barrel with a 1:10 RH twist rate, ensuring high efficiency and shooting accuracy up to 200 m (depending on the ammunition type). The barrel is made from cold hammer-forged chrome-molybdenum steel and features longitudinal fluting. Thanks to this technology, it boasts high durability and is easy to clean. The end of the barrel has an external 1/2"-28 thread onto which a compensator or other muzzle device can be mounted.
The carbine can be quickly and easily disassembled into two parts by simply pressing a button on the stock. The rifle features an aluminum M-Lok system forend that allows the attachment of selected shooting accessories. Additionally, the forend is equipped with a short Picatinny rail for mounting an extended collimator. The sport character of the weapon is emphasized by enlarged controls, such as the charging handle and ambidextrous magazine release. The Ruger PC Carbine has branded Magpul accessories, including a pistol grip and a 6-position stock mounted on a special guide that fits both Commercial and Mil-Spec stocks.
The light single-action trigger mechanism ensures a very smooth operation and a short, sharp reset, facilitating quick shooting. The weapon's action is based on a simple and reliable blowback system, characterized by low recoil. The ambidextrous magazine release and the ambidextrous charging handle allow for trouble-free operation for both right- and left-handed users.
The rifle comes with a factory-equipped magazine with a capacity of 17 rounds of 9 × 19 mm, which can be replaced with Glock or Ruger pistol magazines of different capacities. Changing the magazine in this model is exceptionally convenient and quick thanks to the use of an enlarged funnel.
