Ruger PC Carbine 

I love your simple humor and the lack of vulgar language, thats what makes you different from 99 percent of youtube channels.

Hello, I live in Brazil and my country has taken firearms out of the population ... only the government and the bandits have weapons, and the Brazilian Taurus company has a monopoly on the manufacture of weapons in the country ... and I'm using google translate . thanks for the videos and the sample of how wonderful true freedom is.

The "Hickok chuckle" is the worst thing a burglar could ever hear

Hickok45: "You probably know more about it than I do, right?" That's how Grampa's troll.

Test firing several different types of ammo with several different types of magazine combinations to see what one worked best in this weapon to determine the possible cause of the malfunction is what separates Hickok45 from other RU-vidrs.Others woulda just bashed the weapon without going the extra mile or giving a detailed explanation as to why the malfunction may have occurred.Hickok45 really did a great job with the review of this new 9mm Ruger.

Over 5 years of watching Hickock45 and have still not found a bad video.

Been a long time Ruger pistol fan, but have not gone beyond the 10/22 in rifles. I've avoided the Mini 14 for years due to my small inner city dwellings. I'm now in the market, having retired to TN, for a plinker in a larger bore and am excited about the new PC Carbine. Thanks for your honest review and enjoyable videos.

“I had an uzi for a while so, pretty familiar with those” *fades to hickok45 riding a bike*

It's amazing that you can actually see the bullet flying through the air when you are shooting that small red disk.

Thank you sirs for what you do . Your extra effort , your honesty and making your videos so family friendly with no profanity. Prayers for all of us . 🙏💕

This legend of a man is so popular, that when you have a notification on his new video and press watch button immediately to be the first to see it, as a result you already get like 3k views and a hundred comments. Damn. Nothing but love!

I love how the resolution and video is so high grade you can see the bullet arc to the gong. Love this channel. Keep up the great work

Ok, now I KNOW I didn't just witness Hickok45 miss 5 in a row. I realize the world is in a mess, left is right, up is down, but I had no idea it was this bad...

I bought one this week and just took mine to the range. I have the Magpul PC backpack version. Brought it to the range with the cheapest Wolf steel case ammo I had. Along with other more expensive ammo. Used Glock Mags. I sent 250 rounds down range of three different brands of ammo. No issues. Liked all of the ammo equally as well. I was able to "James Bond" my target at 40 yards shooting the target dead center in the head without adjustment. The out of the box accuracy was impressive. No malfunctions of any kind. Was having so much fun I sent another 250 rounds down range. No issues and the accuracy was equally as impressive. The RSOs at my club were intrigued. Were friends and they all wanted to shoot it so I let them. One of the RSOs is a woman. After firing the rifle and watching me show them how it breaks down, snaps into back-pack mode and holds the extra Mag in the stock they all decided they have to have one too! Universally loved by everybody that fired it. Thought the price was a great value given the quality of the weapon, made in USA and the Magpul stock and accuracy. Fun factor is off the charts. Out of the box accuracy is amazing. Just installed a Feyachi Red Dot sight as my first upgrade. Back to the range to Zero the red Dot and send more freedom down range! After 500 rounds down range my rifle is as reliable as any Semi I have ever owned. Fun factor is off the charts. Practical usability as a compact home defense weapon, survival weapon, bug out weapon and plinker that takes Glock or Ruger posts mags is outstanding. This rifle does everyrhing I hoped it would exactly the way I hoped it would or better. I live in an anti 2A state with many restrictions on what we can own. The Ruger PC (Politically Correct) Carbine is a home run and great value for those of us that live in anti 2A states. If you are taking about a home defense semi auto and don't own one yet this should be on your radar. If you are in a blue state I suggest you do what I did and run out and get one before they are on the next list of banned firearms in your state. Bravo Ruger!

Took mine out to the range yesterday. Right out of the box, put 150 rounds of pretty budget ammunition through it. No stoppages or issues at all. Both SR mags ran fine. One I got with the rifle, one I ordered separately. A nice little carbine. 😁 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

2:20 you can start seeing the 9mm go down range THATS SO COOL!

I purchased this gun, and have fired hundreds of rounds through it, with no problems,but using Glock mags. It worked so well, my Freind just purchased it as well. Great show, enjoy watching your reviews.

Love this rifle. Very accurate and feels great on my hands. Easy to clean and maintain. No misfires nor malfunctions.

In states like NY where obtaining a permit to keep a pistol in your own home is very difficult, one of these would be excellent for home defense.

Been shooting over 60 years and my Ruger pc 9mm carbine shoots everything I put in it as long as it's 9mm with no problems. Have owned and shot many different brands and my opinion is that most of the better guns are made by Ruger . Thanks for the video.

Broke mine in over last weekend. Worked flawlessly with super (115gr) and sub 158gr 9mm. No FTF or FTE. Was planning on using it with Glock mags only. So did not fire with Ruger mag it came with. Used OEM Glock 17 mags. Thought about a red dot or reflex, but the ghost rings do the job and are not fragile. Might put a laser on fore end rail. It fits in 10/22 Takedown bag. Thanks Hickok45 for all your reviews.

I agree with one of the other commentators, that this is family friendly is a big plus. Very educational, topical and 'a real nice guy.' Thanks

I love the modularization of it. if this takes off its going to spawn all kinds of trigger systems and barrel systems and magazine systems and it's going to be a real tactical game changer

I love when he says let’s smoke some pot 😂🤣

I have this great PC Carbine - I use a variety of Glock type magazines - I have shot maybe 1,000 rounds through it - mostly 115 grain non-plus P Winchester range ammo. I haven't had any issues with that. Literally the only problems occurred when I tried using some cheap reloads that I'd purchased at a gun show - they didn't seem to have enough power to fully run the action. My only gripe is that the carbine is a little heavy to hold standing for an extended period. Because its 9mm you can shoot this carbine at indoor ranges, which is a huge benefit during the cold dark wet winter months!

The problem lies with the extractor. It's a crappy stamped piece. Mcarbo makes a nice machined extractor with a lifetime warranty

I’ve watched this video about 4-5 times now. Got my Ruger PC a year ago. Just noticed him saying some people can hit with it better than with a pistol. My wife has a Beretta M9 and was resistant to rifles. She’s been shooting pistols for 2 years. Right out of the box she hit better at 5 and at 15 yards with this weapon. We both still love this weapon.

One nice feature of the PC carbine is that it takes 10/22 upgrades like the BX-25 trigger which will give you a 3 lb pull

So far, zero issues with my Ruger PC carbine after 1000 rounds with Glock mags, never bothered with the Ruger mags due to availability, price and capacity. Offhand, one 30 round 2" hole at 50 yards. Maybe I got lucky?

Spark plug he is the only one I have found that I would even think about watching in a family atmosphere. Happy to hear your child is learning from you on what he should do as a father first of all and a healthy respect and knowledge of weapons from you and hickok

But does it take glo-... Well look at that ;-)

thanks for the look at the rifle

Canadians ! I highly recommend this gun. Non restricted, 10 +1 capacity, feels great and solid. You will prolly spend a grand on it but I believe it's worth it. You know you need one now more than ever. Dont leave yourself and your family without a defense option when the rebellion starts. I'm hoping the Americans god bless em start it .

I've got one of the originals from the early 2000s. Bought it 2013 when it was already discontinued for like $900! Now they released it again, but for half that! Worth every penny though. One of the best all-round guns to shoot.

It's been my experience with pistol caliber carbines using a blow back design that bolt velocity is critical in conjunction with how healthy the magazine spring is. The bolt needs to have a cycle velocity fast enough and with sufficient force to make it it's full travel to eject the empty case forcefully and return to battery also with enough force to strip and chamber the next fresh cartridge. The magazine spring has to be healthy enough to have that next fresh cartridge ready to go when the bolt makes it's return trip to battery. If the bolt is too slow or the magazine spring is weak, a pistol caliber carbine will not function 100%.

Greetings from Poland. Godspeed and keep your head up, hickok45. S H A L L N O T B E I N F R I N G E D

Such a sweet experience trying out one of these. Thank you so much hickok for your thorough review and gun safety vids, invaluable for new shooters who are deep into the theoretical knowledge but just getting started on the practical side!

I was interested in this rifle when I saw it pop up on my video feed, curious as to how it would stand up. I love your unedited truth telling video's because honestly with as many failures as I saw with this rifle, I will not be buying one until they've had some time to revamp and redesign it to fix those issues. Thank you for doing what you do best Hickok45!

Been shooting Rugers my whole adult life, there is just something special about them. My dad just got one of these Carbines, can't wait to hit the range with him!

Thank you for correctly referring to this as a PC Carbine rather than a PC9 which is a different firearm and was manufactured 1996 to 2006. The PC Carbine was manufactured beginning 2017. With all of the people who incorrectly call it a PC9, I knew that you would get your info right. Thanks for your awesome videos.

A PC Carbine in 10mm would be perfect.

I had similar issues with my PC9 after the 400 round mark. Among inspection I found that the extractor and bolt head pins were prematurely beat up and worn out. I replaced them with some Mcarbo tool steel pieces and its been smooth sailing since.

So much freedom in one mann.

This channel, and Paul's (rip) is the one place we all can go to learn something interesting. The vibes are always positive. Nobodys is angry, talking politics beyond our second amendment rights. This is a true community. Thank you for taking the time to educate

Just bought one last month. I love it. Ruger has addressed all problems with it.

Just read your statement on Facebook on the school shooting. THANK YOU for your boots on the ground common sense. Its needed when emotions run high.

Just hearing “hickock45 here” makes my day

He’s only man I know who can laugh and still hit what he’s aiming at

I'm a Ruger armorer. Lubrication is the first cause of feed problems, especially with auto loaders. Use oil very sparingly, if at all, and you will have no problems. Rugers are made to function dry, with only a wipe of oil, and will not wear out.

I love mine with the Glock mags. No complaints so far.

love me some Hickok in the morning

I didn't see you tighten the barrel nut. . Could be the cause of the malfunction. .I could be wrong

Love these pistol carbines, the utility of a rifle with the economy of a pistol. Just wish Ruger would make one for the .45 ACP.

In 2000 rounds out of my PC9 it functions without issues. I made a post when I had a thousand rd. through it and after the first 500 rounds the thing just shoot everything. I'm using new glock mags. I did install a lot of MCARBO parts that have improved function and made the gun better feeling to shoot.

They’ve had a long time to make that gun reliable so I was anxious to see your experience at this juncture. Your critique is quite kind considering nothing is worse than the long drive home from the range completely pissed off at your gun malfunctioning. Been there with Ruger more than a few times. Yes they were very good about trying to fix my SR9. Key word in the last sentence is “trying”. The 3rd time they finally replaced it and to avoid a guilty conscience I took it straight to my dealer and traded it for a Glock 19. The PC9 has been the subject of many RU-vid videos in the past that resemble your experience. No thanks.

I swear Hickok you better never die

Great vid! In my opinion it's 2018, guns should run 100%

I had a couple of malfunctions during the first shots as well with different magazines. I replaced the extractor and shock buffer with spring from Mcarbo and that solved all my issues.

To help shoppers all I can do is state my experience w the Ruger PC. I've owned the gun for 3 years. I've shot hundreds of rounds of either 115 gr or 124 gr range ammo and defense ammo. No P+. I use the two ruger 15 r mags that came with the rifle and SR9 mags of various sizes. I'm not a Glock owner so no glock mags. No malfuntions since purchase. Super easy take down which I consider a huge plus. Very accurate and so fun to shoot. My ONLY slight negative is it's a bit heavy for a gun this size. Still managable but idealy a little more light weight.

I have been wanting one of these, but the number of malfunctions you had here gives me pause.

I’ve watched multiple videos of yours and I have to say you’re a damn good shot!

Just shot my PC40 for the first time today. What a great firearm, fun to shoot, accurate out of the box and reliable so far. Only negative, and its a minor detail, my first shot the Ruger emblem on the stock fell off. If thats as bad as it gets, slam dunk good deal.

I own this... upgrade needed mcarbo exact edge extractor. Fixes the magazine drop and 95 % shell extractions

I've got a lot of respect for ruger!!!!!!!

I love mine... two years of shooting not one malfunction from the gun.. I did have a squib from a reload that didn't get a powder charge..

I just baught this as my first gun and I love it. Paid 900$ for it in New York but with the current situation I’m not pissed off. This gun is very practical and feels nice

That is so cool how you can actually see the bullet before it hits the target!

I purchased one before I watched the video and while waiting I came across this video…I normally watch Hikok45 before I buy…I watched and thought….dammit, what have I done? 😂. Fortunately, I put 100 rounds through it today using 4 different brands of ammo using Glock mags and it was flawless…not one problem thank goodness. I also upgraded the extractor and pins with MCarbo replacements. Very smooth and fun to shoot. I would like to get 1000 rounds through it before making a final judgement but so far so good!

Try to loosen the torque on your stock bolts. For some reason if I over torque my 10/22 stock bolts, it increases friction on the bolt and causes similar failures.

"Best laid plans of mice of men" that was perfect time to say 'lets shoot some rabbits' lol

I......I can see the bullets as they fly through the air! My power level must have increased ten-fold from all that training with King Kai!

Im so jealous of your range. To be able to shoot like that all day without having someone call the cops is amazing. I have to spend almost $100 anytime I want to enjoy my firearms without worry of someone calling.

The hi point 9mm Carbine is ranked one of the very best I already researched this so negative replies hold no water

Hey Hickock. I’m back In algebra. Still should be paying attention and I still love these videos.

In a landmark decision today (3/29/19), judge Benitez of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California has ruled that the law against magazine capacity in California is unconstitutional, effective immediately, I believe. Subject to 9th Circuit of Appeals down the road, but that is the law as it stands now. Victory! Thanks to the NRA for their work on this. I just picked up this rifle in Ca. this week, and will be upgrading my mags soon!

Ruger replaced my PC 9 after the 2nd time it went back and still had FTE and Stovepipes. Bought M-Carbo after market parts. Nicely machined but still had the problems. M-Carbo gunsmith kept suggesting the barrel lock nut must not be tight enough. Absolutely not the case but got me thinking. At the front of receiver where the barrel is inserted are 3 hex nuts. Turns out all 3 were loose. Removed and put some Blue Loctite on and screwed back tightly. Have had 300 rounds through since without a failure.

I love when hickok interrupts himself with his own shooting. Like he can't be bothered to finish the one-liner before he lays down lead. Too funny.

Thats a cool rifle and some serious skill right there. Hats off to you , sir !

I wish they would make a side folding stock for this. Just like the ones I used to have on my 10/22

I've only put about 500 rounds through mine and I never had a malfunction. I shot Winchester white box and Federal both 115gr.

I have always been a fan of the 9mm carbine and have settled on my AR9 in the Colt magazine configuration. Now I am going to have to get the PC9 to marry with my SR9! Ahh the things I do because of my passion for the 9mm!

In a few thousand years people are going to think your back yard is a mineral deposit.

So jealous of Americans. Those prives are really incredible. Here in Belgium I can get one for around 1000 euros (1150USD). Really insane. As always great video!

Ordering one today. Really enjoyed this video. Merry Christmas!

I Would Like To See Ruger Make This In 10mm & 30 Cal...

1:27 hickok45 put a smiley face on that gong.

I’m thinking of getting one for a truck gun to go with my glock side arm so thanks for this just at the right time

"Why would I want a big ol' gun like this to fire a pistol cartridge" because ITS SUPER FUN that's why

Yet again making us Canadians envious. What a brilliant firearm!

I had the same problem with my 10/22 takedown. I tightened the barrel and it went away only ran about 100 rounds through it since but seems to have made the problem disappear.

Sir, when I'm interested in a new weapon, I look to your vids for advice! Sorry I took so long to subscribe!

I really want to like this gun because of the Glock mag capability. The failures give me extreme pause though. Looks like toward the end it seemed to work better. May still give it a whirl.

I got one for when i just want to take it easy or when my daughter or a girl wants to come to the range. Works well doesn’t jam and easy to aim with! I wouldn’t use this in a shtf scenario or if my life was in danger or home invasion… Strictly for fun and cheap ammo it’s more of a toy to me then anything else!

Just got to shoot mine last weekend. Bought it about 3 months ago. No issues! What a blast to shoot!!! Ran everything we put in her with no failures whatsoever! Get one and enjoy!

"We've had a couple of malfunctions..." From what I've heard, these do have a bit of a break-in period. Judging by how gritty the action sounds when you rack it, maybe it just needs a few rounds through it. Or maybe I'm putting too much stock in what other people say. Who knows?

Three star dragon ball on his hat.... Hes the gun master roshi

I feel like any gun designed to take multiple kinds of magazines will have malfunctions.

Got to clean a friend's Rifle. It just happened to be the Ruger in this video. What a quality rifle this is. I'm sort of new to the world of guns, but I really want this Ruger. Well my wish came true. My friend sold me his Ruger PC Carbine. I can't wait to be able to shoot it.

The velocity and force is better out of a long barrel thats why i would prefer a long barrel over a pistol any time. Although a pistol is needed in certain situations
