For Ruger fans, many love the Ruger 10/22 Takedown rifle. But, have you seen the 9mm carbine?
If the smaller caliber cant get the job done, the new Ruger PC carbine 9mm will.
This is perfect for the SHTF rifle, this little takedown rifle is modeled after the 10/22 and obviously has more power than .22-caliber takedown rifles.
The Ruger PC Carbine comes in handy for personal defense and hunting at short-range.
Add a suppressor like 22plinkster did and your neighbors wont even know that youre out plinking. Really great for a bugout gun.
So what is so great about this Ruger PC Carbine 9mm?
Not only is it extremely accurate, but its practical and versatile, here are some of its features:
-Has interchangeable magazine wells for use of common Ruger® and Glock® magazines.
-Accurate sighting system with adjustable ghost ring rear aperture sight and non-glare, protected blade front sight.
-Dead blow action features a custom tungsten dead blow weight that shortens bolt travel and reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise. Bolt is machined from heat treated... Read and see the Ruger PC 9mm in action here.
“Why not just buy an M1 if you want a smaller caliber?”
Um...let’s just say that if I had an M-1 Carbine (before my unfortunate canoeing accident of course) it would be in need of a major over haul. It’s hard to find complete parts kits at reasonable prices these days. And the ammo is a unique ammo (except for the AMT Automag III pistol).
What I like about the PC9 is that the new version comes with an insert which allows you to use Glock magazines. That’s handy! It’s also a takedown weapon so it’s easy to store. I really like that too.
Either way the PC9 is already hard as heck to find.
Same here - gonna keep an eye on it, this time. The previous run of Ruger pistol-caliber carbines came and went almost as quickly as the Marlin Camp Carbine models (which Remington Outdoors would be smart to revive, too). If the .45 is slow to appear, I'll take the 9mm and make do.
I hope Magpul does a backpacker stock rig for this one... and one of those barrel-mounted picatinny rails, too (works better than the receiver rail on the takedown models).

Thats my only issue, cant really call it a complaint, with the Takedown 10-22. It works very well but makes stowing in awkward. I will say its shockingly accurate. I can hit tennis balls consistently at 50 yards or so.
Handy little truck gun.
Best,
