There are a gazillion ARs chambred in 9mm, including a bunch of AR pistols.
Do you think the advantages of this Ruger are the recoil mitigation and the take down?
Two words: Glock mags

That and it's not an AR IMO. Cost is certainly a factor.There are a gazillion ARs chambred in 9mm, including a bunch of AR pistols.

What if... ...Glock plans to announce a carbine at Shot Show, and Ruger scooped them?Glock owners have been screaming at Glock to make a carbine for the better part of a decade.
Guess that it was Ruger that listened. Good on Ruger for that.
I like Rugers rifles a whole lot better than most of their pistols anyway.
On my computer it's a 404 link.I saw this link earlier this morning and read some info on it. Looks like a built up 10/22 takedown and you can get mag wells for a variety of mags not just Ruger. The link now gives a 404 error. Does anyone know if this thing is real or just vaporware? Most AR style pistol calibers are a little on the expensive side, I'd like to see Ruger make this and sell it at a reasonable price.
Any thoughts?

There are a gazillion ARs that take Glock mags.
The KG9 Defender takes Glock magazines, has a picatiny rail, plus an M-LOK handgaurd and sells for about 20 bucks less than the pre-order price of the Ruger.
I don't like the AR platform personally, but I'm wondering what the big draw is for this Ruger carbine for others, it can't just be that it takes Glock magazines.

No for the recoil mitigation and yes for the take down. I do not expect PC Carbine being able to touch CMMG Guard (announced in 9mm less than a month ago) and possibly not even Zenith's MP5 clones in the lightness of recoil department. The take-down is a killer feature though. Only Kel-Tec and JRC offer something similar (folder in Kel-Tec case, take-down for JRC).Do you think the advantages of this Ruger are the recoil mitigation and the take down?

You have said that twice on this thread. With Ruger's stellar reputation for customer service, what keeps you from getting one from the get go? They aren't Remington.All I can say is GOOD LUCK to the beta testers... God I pray Ruger got this one right, I want one!
Its really interesting. If real world price is sub $500 I would be tempted to pick one up to match up with my daughter's SR9.
I think the advantage to many is that the Ruger PCC isn't an AR.
I like ARs (and own one), but I have grown weary of the AR being mentioned as the answer to all semi-auto rifle questions.

No offense. I just wanted to encourage (enable) you to spend money.Sorry couldn't find my other post. I did not mean to offend.
Dibs on PPQ.I bet that someone with a good 3D printer could make an adapter for about any pistol magazine you could think of.
Looks to me like Ruger "borrowed" several ideas from JR.
If Ruger makes a folding stock, fixed-barrel version I'll buy one. The only reason I don't still have a PC9 is the mags.
I can see the benefit for a takedown, but I'd still prefer a side folder that is a bit longer length overall but quicker to put in firing configuration.
I am guessing that if this proves to be as popular as I think that it will be that there will be a ton of aftermarket accessories to include mag adapters for a variety of 9mm mags....Give Butler Creek and/or Choate six months...
