Many years ago, had one of the original 9PC carbines, from the days when Bill Ruger was making "Guns for honest citizens". Naturally, it came with a 10 round magazine, and the world was a safer place.
I found some aftermarket 30 round mags, which actually worked well enough, but I've always been distrustful of anything not OEM or MecGar.
When some other 9mm carbines became available, I sold mine to a buddy, who never, ever, came back to call me an SOB.
Fast forward; grabbed another 9PC like the old one, used. This one had the factory aperture sights, and had that same, great M1 vibe, as the last one. The previous owner had a dog's breakfast of aftermarket magazines, all of which have worked in limited shooting with ball ammo.
I did pick up 3 15 round factory mags.
My question; did Ruger ever manufacture 20, (or even 30), round mags for the P series guns?
(BTW, parted with a Ruger Mini-14 carbine, back in the day, for the same magazine issue. Hope old Bill is roasting, someplace, for his selfrighteous attitude.)
Thanks in advance,
Moon
