When all the dust settles... I'd love to see exactly what the results were on the poll....
I can tell you right now which carbine is going to place first on the most wanted list.

I think people are realizing that 5.56 ARs are overkill. The muzzle blast of a 16" upper is less than pleasant. Especially on a covered range. Absolutely so if having to shoot indoors.
.223 used to have the selling point in the 80s and 90s of penitrating soft armor, but with hard armor so ubiquitous nowadays, any nut job wearing armor that stops a 9mm will be wearing something that will stop a .223. So you now lug around a 338 Lapua everywhere or just say "screw it" and carry 9mm for both long gun/pistol and accept that an armored BG will require quite a few shots to nutralize.
Do you think the people who have truck/trunk guns do so in case the squirrels go postal? BGs with body armor has been a legitimate concern for the last 30 years. Remember the North Hollywood shootout and the move toward 5.56 rifles after?Who is carrying around ar15's to neutralize bad guys with body armor?

I went against the poll leaders and picked up a brand spankin' new CX4 in 9x19mm today. I really couldn't get past my wish to have a magazine that went up the pistol grip, so here I am.
I'm not sure how far down the grip on the Beretta extends versus the magwell for the Ruger but one of the reviewers did say that the Glock mag had a lot of wiggle to it, but it didn't affect reliability.
I just need to get that little red dot up about 3/8" higher.
If those fins on either side of the sights were removable I would have purchased the Beretta a long time ago.
Has Ruger announced any plans to release the PC Carbine with a wood stock? I'd love to buy one, but I'd prefer one in wood. I'm sure they'll offer one if the base model sells well enough, so I hope they sell all they can make

Does it use 92 mags?
Lots of Ruger lovers with lots of blind faith? They have had some not so great offerings, like the overly expensive yet fairly inaccurate Mini-14. Maybe others I'm not aware of. I'd prefer not to be a beta tester, I'll wait for longer term results.
Interesting that the Ruger PCC is running away with the poll, despite the fact that it is not yet in full distribution and it's long term reliability is unknown at this point.
