I've had this rifle for over a year. Zero complaints and using the Glock mags makes it a no Brainerd.
Love this small rifle.
I love you my American friends, frome Siberia with love, you guys made a good weapons
The best of everything to you
More to come brother
All the best for you sir
Best wishes to you alex
Hello my Serbian friend much love from USA 🇺🇸
During my long LEO career and in the 2000s, I was asked by a fellow officer what use could an officer have for a small rifle. My response was, "...imagine you could deliver the power of your handgun at greater distance and with greater accuracy." He thanked me and reported that he had asked several others but never got a satisfactory answer until then.
I would add that you, undoubtedly, intended to say that MARLIN rather than Ruger made some 9mm rifles back in the 90s, "....but it didn't catch on."
@@laurogarza4953 Marlin Camp 9 Carbines were built from 1985-1999.
Ruger Police Carbine 1996-2005. ..........and yes both were adopted by many police departments .
The "power of your handgun "? If you're using a rifle length weapon might as well have it chambered in a rifle round!
Ruger needs to bring back the.44 magnum carbine,
And make it in .357-.38,
.44-44 special.
Or make it in .10mm
Definitely the 44 and a 10mm would awesome
a rimmed cartridge doesn't work well in a semi auto... however... make this in 9mm, 10 mm, 40 s+w, 45 acp, and some of those rimless wildcats. then you have a winner.
@@isellcatlitter Ruger already made a lot of them,
Ruger just stopped servicing them or stopped making parts for them in the early 80s.
@@isellcatlitter the Ruger
Deerfield carbine M-44
Load it up with some
LeverEvolution, Awesome.
The PC9 has become my favorite all around gun of all time. Simple, feels good and tack driver at 100 yds. It really is a perfect gun for me.
Buying one this week, cant wait!!!!!!!!!
But how ya gonna kill a charging Buffalo or triceratops with that squirrel gun?
I feel the same. It’s quickly become my favorite gun, period.
@@CorePathwayThanks for reminding me, I forgot about all the charging buffalo I typically encounter.
@@CorePathwaylol triceratops 😂😂
Bushnell TRS 25: I may be wrong in the model number is perfect for PC 9. Not too high. Good red dot . Affordable.
I love my Ruger pc9. Shoots reliably and smooth. Got the Midwest industries aftermarket combat rail on it and it's a thing of beauty
Love my lil' 9mm monster. The only downside to it is you can go through 200-300 before ya' know it!
I love mine too...just bought a happy stick for it... and the way the carbine breaks down for cleaning is phenomenal!!
I have one of these Ruger PC Carbine I have done some after market accessories and being a U.S.M.C veteran I have spent some $$ on magazine’s and Ammo it’s my home invasion go to
"And it's cheap to shoot." Man... what a difference 2.5 years can make.
Great video and review. I love my Ruger.
You are one of my main firearm reviews channels and 1 of the 3 that I go to every time when I want to know about a firearm. I love and appreciate the honest take in your reviews. Thank my American Patriot brother.
I just love this rifle, but it makes my 9mm ammo stash disappear like vapor. Excellent review!
hahaha, true! I reload but not the 9. I will start to.
No kidding….
I love mine as well. My Wife wanted to move up to 9mm from her current .380 so we got her the Security9. Great combo!

You are quickly becoming my go to source for gun reviews, thank you for your videos.
Got one at an auction for 300 bucks!! Super excited
You just about stole that rifle. Lol. You’re gonna like it.
Great deal! You'll love it. Thanks Jim.
Your a lucky man.
Got extremely lucky. I dont think people knew what it was lol
Heck yeah get it and run before somebody was to google it...lol!
This is one of my favorites. Ruger did a awesome job doing this gun!
I love this pcc! I put a Holosun 530c zero at 25 yards.. Plinking machine! Shoots super flat. I'm hoping Ruger comes out with a 10mm upgrade in the future.
Exactly what i was looking for, a review using a scope and 100 yard accuracy. Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Your reviews are very concise and the camera angles on the weapon are superb, I bought my Marlin 336 lever rifle after watching your review, thank you for your clarity. I'm going to buy the PC carbine
Nice review as always, I've been eyeing this one for awhile and with today's ammo I think it would make a great home defense choice. God bless you brother.
Love the Joshua 1:9 quote at the end.
I was pleasantly surprised when took mine to the range..very solid feel, not one malfunction..very nice!
I have been checking this one out. Your approval just convinced me to make the Ruger PC9 my next gun purchase. Thanks sootch and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Hey Sootch nice review just picked one up last week along with a 10/22 .... keep them videos coming big fan of them
I have been wanting a 9mm carbine, especially one that accepts my gen 3 Glock 19 mags. I really like how it breaks down simply. Hope I can talk Santa into one for Christmas!!. Merry Christmas to you and your family sootch!!
Thanks Brother! It has so many great features, it's hard to beat! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Sootch00 , thanks for the great review. I got mine last year & can't speak highly enough about it. Ruger pc carbine , what's not to love !!
great review; I love mine so far as well
You should do a video on yours 😋
Any Jams and have you had to clean it much.
Thanks Mike! They are so versitle.
@@sootch00 this or CZ Scorpion? Ya, gotta answer!
Me too. Ditto that.
Nice little takedown rifle.. Merry Christmas 🎄
Thanks again for another great video..this might be my first rifle I purchase.
Absolutely love mine. Never imagined it would be as accurate and reliable.
I like that the front and rear sight are attached to the barrel assembly. It keeps everything together and in alignment.
The concept of the carbine and pistol going beyond the same cartridge on to the same magazine is wonderful. I hope that Ruger goes further to include other magazines that can be used in the carbine. Now, if the military can pick up on this concept! Like the way that NATO has done with their 5.7 x 28 NATO.
I know Ruger hates Smith, but I wish they would include one for the M&P......may aftermarket will step up
Would love an aftermarket adapter for the M&P 9 mags.
Sig P226 would also be nice
Awesome review. I went from hating pistol caliber carbines to this being among My top 5 firearms I own.
Bought one about a month ago....put 200 rounds through it....Love it!
I saw a video on CZcams where a couple of guys were testing the 9mm out to 440 yards to see how good it was, and it was still punching holes through over 2 inches of solid wood at 440 yards. They were using iron sites, so the accuracy was off, since the front site post was covering up the target, but it still had lots of stopping power out at that range.
I saw that video , 9mm bullet going through 2x4 at 440 yards not to accurate at that distance,, but shows what a 9mm is capable of
I got one of these as soon as they came out, and I love it. Really hard to find anything bad to say about it, all around great firearm. Thanks for another great production, and wishing you and yours a safe and happy holiday season. God bless brother!
I'm right handed, but actually changed the charging handle to left side. Just seemed more natural to me. Can keep my "gun hand" on the gun while doing whatever with my left. I really like my PC9 and everyone that has shot it has as well. Good video.
Thay is one of the advantages of training with both hands
I like mine on the left also and I’m right handed. Just seems I charge all my rifles left handed.
I'm left handed and prefer the charging handle on the right side.
This was the 5th video I watched. Your the only one that show how to switch the magazine parts and the price of it. 👍
Excellent review. Quick and to the point.
I’m going to buy one. A friend recommended a 9mm. Carbine as a first rifle step up from 22’s.
I'm impressed with this rifle, Glock adapter, scope and light what more do need. 200 yard range, most popular ammo, looks like it's very well engineered. Thumbs up. Great review.
there is a difference between wanting and needing ...
Just brought one of these home less than 24 hours ago and I get a notification in my email for this video! Okay, time to watch the video...
I'm waiting on them to go on sale again at Academy, they are $529.00 now. Week before last they had them on sale for $429.99 and I missed that sale. I had heard during Black Friday they had them for $399.99. I was able to hold a display model and check it out and I really like the PC9 carbine. To satisfy my urge to buy, I went ahead and bought the Ruger EC9s that was on sale this week for $229.99 at Academy. Hopefully they will be back on sale in Jan/Feb and I'll have the Ruger PC9 Carbine then.
Perfect timing! It's a sweet little rifle and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Thanks Chris!
Just got mine yesterday. I love it!
@@NLINE7 shop around. don't stick with one place.
@@CHEECHMUN Ha,ha yeah I usually do shop around,still have not bought a Ruger PC9 ,seems like something always pops up to take away my gun money here lately.
Just bought The keltec sub 2000 and now I’m wanting the Ruger PC9. Great video and thanks for the review!
bob sal nice.
On the Christmas list video, you showed the Security 9. I mentioned the PC 9 Carbine, and here it is! I plan to get one within the next year. I took a look at one at Brownell's in Iowa. I want one!
I really like mine, it’s accurate and has pretty good range. Ruger did a great job on this one!
Great little carbine it is definitely not my primary defensive tool as I have better Firearms suited for that problem with 9mm projectiles with increased velocities out of 16 inch barrel they tend not to hold together if I were using this as a defensive tool with jacketed hollow point I would definitely recommend Hornady xtp in 124 grain or the 147 grain as these bullets will hold together under the increased velocities with the longer Barrel that's my two cents worth
Not hold together? What
Just shoot 90gr. Underwood Extreme Defender snd you won't have to worry about a bullet 'staying together'.
Second time I watched this, i.e., I just brought mine home and wanted to make sure I did the Glock adapter magazine well switch correct . . . Thank you and again, great review!
Merry Christmas to you and the whole gang. Thank you for bringing all of the great info on the sport of guns. 🎅
I like but I like even more that Ruger released a .40s&w PC carbine ...... hopefully you will be able to review the PC carbine in .40s&w soon ..
Reminds me of the Henry survival 22 but nicer. GREAT idea and love Ruger I have a 10/22 Ruger now your showing me this one got a have this on 9mm. Just think if they come in a 45acp now that would be sick 🇺🇸
Good review. You're the first to report no malfunctions. Looks like Ruger got the issues solved. Thanks.
You don't need to take out charging handle
This is a nice little carbine ... 1 real advantage to this is ... in a REAL SHTF or say you live in an Apt, Motorhome or Condo, or do not have a lot of extra $$$ or you truly have to bug out ... Glock & PC9 > same ammo, same mags > there are many situations where this is a major plus. For most people > Simple is better
There hasn’t been a review l have seen that didn’t like the PC9.
Ruger did it right on the PC9. Thanks brother
Sootch gives a positive review no matter what gun or product it is. I like review channels but I also like them to at least be honest.
Have had mine for a few months and love it with glock mags.
mpg827 When you say it falls apart, is it the stock? Is there a problem with the internal parts? Please give more details.
I agree 100% every review people really love it. But it's only downside is it runs through your ammo stock very fast.
Great Video! I got mine on Black Friday and I love it! I am currently putting together a package of parts to make my PCC into a nice Home Defense little rifle.
The Catalyst Arms M-LOK rail adaptor does not Extend to the sides like the Midwest it actually add to length but still has the 3, 6, 9 slots for attaching your accessories.
I have been reading that the 124-135gr +P loads can do a nice job for Personal Defense.
I am hoping that Magpul will come out with a Stock or one of the other companies will come out with a Pistol Grip with a Folding or telescopic stock.
I have a Ruger American 45 ACP and I am hoping they will come out with a 45 ACP PCC or just come out with the 40SW PCC next which is one of my favorite carry calibers and I have many Glock 40SW pistols that I carry daily and would make a GREAT Truck Package.
My home defense package is stock. I'm not fighting WW3. Bad guys don't know the difference.
...you have a great voice for presentations and I love the bloopers on the end of most videos...
The PC9 has been a reliable gun so far. I've had it for a few months now and no real problems. It has been consistently accurate with the iron sites and a red dot. I even purchased the violin "Peak Case" specifically for this rifle so I can transport and store safely (it fits perfectly). The only issue I ran into was when I switched out the Ruger magazine receiver for the Glock receiver. After loosening the bolts to release the trigger mechanism, the upper unit wouldn't budge. It seemed like it had been epoxied in place and was never going to budge. I tried for 30 minutes until I read a post (on the Ruger site) that said to pull back the charging handle and let it go a few times. Wow! it worked perfectly to release the upper unit. So, a big thanks to the person who recommended this.
Rumor has it that 5.7x28 chambering is in the works. I want one in 10MM. .45ACP would be great too.
There’s quite a markup going with these now
$700-900 range
Damnit lol, just when I thought I found a sweet deal.
I want to the gun show in Dallas and got a 50 round glock 17 drum mag and it is A-blast for 50 bucks. It's a MUST HAVE IF YOU HAVE THE PC9..👍
Picking mine up today. Can't wait
I’d like the PC carbine with wood stock.
I love mine and when they bring out a 10mm I'll be first in line.
Very informative; good job for novice gun owners. Thank you.
I had a Marlin camp carbine with a Bulter-Creek folding stock, but sold it last year after this review, and got a Ruger PC9, and switched it to Glock Mags, after I bought a Glock 19x after a Sootch review on it.
Fantastic rifle for the wife, recoil and sound less intimidating at the range for her, I love it because follow up shot are soooo fast, and ammo is cheaper👍🇺🇸👍
5000+ rounds without a misfire. charge handle works great on the left side for right handed shooters. You can release empty magazine, reload, and charge it without letting go of your right hand grip. very natural feeling....
I got about 700 rounds from my 3-month old PC9 before the receiver stopped holding open when the magazine is empty like its supposed to. I've contacted Ruger...waiting to hear back. Otherwise lots of fun. I put a red dot on.
bought mine about 6 months ago and i love it,,,, i can smack ar500 plates at 100 yrds 100% of the time,,,, its a fun rifle to shoot,,, i reload my 9mm with hardcast and no issues with leading,,,, its fun with teh red dot
Nice video, and this carbine is a sweet little weapon. Looks like I'm going to be picking up one of these. The last Ruger carbine that I had was the .44 Magnum carbine that looked almost identical to the 10-22, and I still kick myself every day for not holding onto it!🥺
Dont need to take off the charging handle to switch out mag wells
I'm holding out for the Ruger PC10 carbine ;)
Yeah, I need a carbine to pair up with my G20!
As always wonderful review and you keep buying guns that I want
What is really cool, is the fact that Magpul is *FINALY* making a backpacker stock for this gun!!!
I’m hoping to see a review of it when it finally comes out!
I can't wait to get mine! 🏃
Good review! I bought one yesterday for $410 plus tax. Did a free 5 rd test fire and had to buy. It's fun to shoot and the sale price was too good to pass up.
Great deal. I paid $525 plus tax.
@@ironhorse127 yeah those prices are higher this year. I may have waited a while if I knew all those upgraded versions were coming out though.
Won mine on gb for 375. Love this little rifle ! Great video brother
As usual, an excellent review, i.e., I liked this review very much because you provided detailed information on switching the mag wells/holders.
The "ONLY" con that I see is that it does NOT come with the carrying bag like the 10/22 does. That would be a plus. Great video Sootch.
Because it fits in a backpack 🎒
@@gunsfishand4x4 The 10/22 fits in a back pack too, whats your point?
J-Bob 5150 I don’t see how that’s a con of the gun. More the company.
I prefer to carry my carbine in a non gun bag that screams gun to scumbag liberals and thieves, usually combined into a Biden/Harris voter.
As is usual for ruger good value and great reliability.
Absolutely great video Sootch00. This will be my next Firearm to buy in the New Year of 2019. Also you an your family have a Merry Christmas Sir. An always long live the republic.
Great video! Thanks for the instruction on mag well swapping.
When you changed mag adapter there’s no need to remove charging handle
I need Magpul to make a backpacker stock for this gun!!!!!
That would be *AWESOME*
YES! YES! YES!
mdredheadguy1979 just released yesterday
@@zacharymiller9844 please send a link!!!!!!!
First thing I did was switch out the Ruger mag well to the Glock mag well then bought seven Glock mags. Sond ting was to swotch the cocking handle to the left side because I am right handed. Just a point on switching the cocking lever from the right side (as it comes from the factory) to the left side. With respect to the maker of this video, you actually want the cocking handle on the left hand side if you are right-handed. That way your right (master) hand does not leave the firearm at all. If you're a righty, the functions of cocking the weapon, changing mags, etc., should all be done with your left hand, while your right (master) hand never leaves the weapon. In a tricky situation against bad guys, fractions of seconds count, so removing your master hand from the firearm to cock the weapon makes no sense whatsoever. You wouldn't do it with a pistol; don't do it with a carbine (especially one that allows for the cocking lever to be moved). Obviously, if you're a lefty, just leave the cocking lever on the right hand side.
Finally! Someone showing if a Glock 26 mag will fit! Thank you!
Great review! One thing though. You don’t need to remove the charging handle to change the magwell.
Great review Sootch, I got the midwest industries mount and it's great for my light setup. Like you said it makes a great home defense gun, although you wouldn't take this thing to a war but that's what our AR's are for. lol Just an all around fun shooter for the whole family. ( Great backup truck gun to my Glock too !! :o)
Better than going against the Gov with rocks and forks.... Like many countries did and still do.
I'm more worried about a smuck breaking into our house uninvited than going to WW3. In that scenerio, The PC9 will do just fine.
Great review as always Sootch, merry Christmas to you and your family buddy!
Great review as always, I always enjoy your videos and look forward to many more in the New Year! Merry Christmas to you and Yours!
Now it’s BETTER cause it’s now offered on 40 S&W!!!
Cool pay more for ammo that has less accuracy and range.
40 sw is dead
*Excellent review. Have you ever tried the Beretta CX9? Love that rifle!!!*
You mean the CX4 Storm?
CX9 is a Mazda SUV.
Awesome gun! Like the magazine compatibility and ease of going to glock magazines! Hopefully we get a backpack stock from magpul or someone like the 10/22 backpack stock,that make this perfect!
Mine got tighter groups as I ran more ammo through it. Running 124gr +P+ handloads, 4x scope, it produced 2.6" average groups at 100m, bench rested!
10mm version would be a great little backpacking/camping companion for 2 and 4 legged predators.
Orangutans?
@@BillFromTheHill100 ha! Exactly
@@BillFromTheHill100 exactly
I'd buy this in a heartbeat if it had adapters for M&P.
I think I’m going to enjoy mine; got it a few weeks ago and shot a box of Blazer ammo with no glitches. Thanks for the video! I always appreciate your closing comments at the end.
Thanks Fred! It hard not to like this little carbine. So many cool features! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Same to you!
Great review, just bought one. Be here Monday. Bought a muzzle break, Primary Arms SLX Red Dot, Mcarbo extended mag release and charging handle, couple Security 9 mags and an olight Valkyrie mini light for the front. Looking fwd to getting it, looks like a great little rifle. I especially like the spacers. I'm sure I will put them all in, as I'm a larger individual.
Thank you for another great video!👍Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🇨🇦
Thanks Martin! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Hopefully magpul makes a x22 takedown version stock
702flyguy I was just thinking that a Magpul backpacker stock would be awesome for this little rifle!!!
Glade to see I'm not the only one thinking that.
Great job sootch, keep it ups!
love your reviews....Great review...great personality. Good to have a sense of humor..and your not afraid to show it. Keep up the good work
