TFB TV (1 yr ago): “I have a theory that Ruger is trying to put every other arms manufacturer out of business...” Palmetto: “We have a great new MP5 clone coming this year...wait, next year...ok this time for sure..later in the year” H&K: “We have the REAL MP5 coming back....for $3000.” Ruger: well...
Realistically, this is in the same price bracket as other 9mms like the Stribog, Brigade BM-9, etc. No one will be on the fence between this and a Banshee and everyone knows the Banshee is overpriced anyway. Hopefully this Offering from Ruger will help bring the competition to drive the overall prices of 9mm sub guns down.
@@kalskiratta8633 I hope that PSA5 hits the market soon because I'm dying to see the final price point and reviews, but between the Scorpion, Stribog, AR9s, etc I think I'm glad I put off buying a 9mm sub gun because this Ruger looks like the better value. Broken down, it's like a semi-auto Uzi that fits in a camera bag and I see them already for $600.
I just picked up the PC Charger and it’s hands down the best running gun I have. Cheap reloads to high dollar ammo runs through with zero cycle issues. I just put 500 rounds through it and not 1 problem. The gun is comfortable for me and my wife. The accuracy is beautiful, and I had it zeroed in with in 1 clip. I paid $649 at sportsman’s. If your in the market for a pistol this gun is a must
Every time I think I only have one on my wish list, something like this comes along. Very nice Ruger. What a year for them. This, the lcp 22 and the wrangler.
Between this and the Ruger 57, I think Ruger is doing an amazing job. Been debating on a compact and inexpensive PCC, and this hits it right on the head. It's small, inexpensive and takes Glock mags... plus it has the proven reliability of the PC Carbine. Definitely getting one.
For the price, Ruger makes firearms that are as good as most companies where you would spend twice the amount. I'll be adding this one to my expanding Ruger collection. Thanks for the video.
I was hoping that S&W would have come out with their own version with a 10 inch, in the M&P series and seriously Mec Gar, get on board with making extended magazines for our M&P's and for the Keltec carbine.
Please call up your american fellows to take revange on the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party, the Coronavirus was released by the CCP, to cripple the US's economy and society so that to disable the US government and military, then the whole world could only bow down before the CCP. The european countries have been put down by the CCP already, now only the USA is still struggling to survive. This is a man-made world pandemic by the CCP, not a natural thing, it is an terrorist attack by the CCP, the bastard of the Soviet terrorist organization.
Just got this yesterday. Love that it takes Ruger and Glock mags. From 17 rounds all the way to 50-100 round Glock drum mags. Already got a Ruger ec9s with 2 9+1 mags and a 7+1 mag. Love Ruger ever since I got my pistol
Saw this "thing" for the first time, yesterday, at the gun store. Guy behind the counter didn't know what it was. Its got some weight to it. I've never seen anything like it, now I need one
Ballistics by the inch shows that the 9mm having been designed from the outset as a pistol cartridge does reasonably well in a short barrel. There are significant gains in velocity out to 6 inches, then the benefit starts to fall quickly. >16 inches actually slow the bullet. In this "Pistol" the take down feature is superfluous. What do you save? 3 inches? Complexity and weight for little gain. This needs to be lightened up.
When Israel was designing the UZI sub machine gun, I have read that they tested the 9mm in several different barrel lengths. They eventually settled on a barrel length of just over 10”. To keep this barrel length and to keep the over all package small they went to the extra step of designing the bolt that travels up and over the barrel to get the mass that they needed in the blow back design. That said I understand that they have a hotter 9mm round that is preferred (someone tell me if this is correct) for the UZI? In that case the 10+ barrel maybe optimized for it, and as such the typical U.S. 9mm nato round may be optimized in shorter barrels.
Thanks Aniquin.- I thought that I remembered reading that. Was it delineated with a black tip too? I was a long time military history buff and especially into military small arms, but alas that was many moons, and raising two boys ago.
Steve Miller Feel free time do whatever you want. It’s a pistol. So if you shorten the barrel no big deal. I had a smith bob several barrels for me. First was a a SS 10/22 takedown to 16&1/4” when they first came out. It cost $100 but I had them thread the thicker band part by the front site inside fora thread protector actually pretty cool. Now the come that way. Then about 3 Charger barrels to 8&1/2” to extend past the factory forend for suppression or hider. I’m sure you could do it with this. But I have two PC Carbines and love them. Did I I want them shorter you betcha. Will I shorten the carbines. No. Will I buy one of these? No. I’ll buy two.
Got mine last week! Added sig rom red dot and the SB folding aluminum pistol brace. Put the Glock adapter in and got one 15 and 4 , 33 round Glock after market magazines! Sighted it in as far as the indoor shooting g range went. I guess 20 to 25 yards . Within a few adjustments I was tearing center paper out! Very accurate up to that range . Until I shoot past that distance I wouldn’t know how accurate but I have seen other post were they are hitting targets 125 yards out! This gun is amazing! Well built and great quality. I have shot about 400 rounds of all types of practice 9mm. And no miss fires! Haven’t tried hollow points or defensive rounds yet because of hard to get and I have that for my carry pistol. Will try soon because this bad boy is going next to my bed and in my truck ! I would shoot all day if I had the ammo! You can buy 3 of these to one of some of those other 9mm carbines ! I would buy three of these!! Get one!
This looks like a fun little gun! I like the takedown feature, it opens up a lot of possibilities with different barrel lengths, integral suppression, etc. As much as i enjoyed this video, you reminded me of something that has been bugging me for a while now. "Braces" like that are the reason the ATF went after braces. The ergonomics are clearly designed for it to be used as a stock, NOT as a brace. If you are going to exploit loopholes, being this blatant is a really good way to get those loopholes closed. Personally, I would argue that sbr's should *not* be NFA items. But they are. So, until that changes lets be smart about our loopholes so we can keep them.
Great little pcc friend bought one when they first came out. They were fairly priced at $576 . I waited and even did a review of it and the comparo side by side with an Extar ep9 . Gave it great reviews. It’s quirky but it’ll eat any brass I could feed it without any issues. Tactically it’s practical and easy to manipulate and shoot while running or storming. No cans ran but it is drilled for the 28 adapters . Very accurate which leads to my point. It’s a Ruger so not exactly top shelf but are runners so the release price seemed adequate but after a few good reviews the price skyrocketed. Ruger broke the cardinal rule of jacking the price of a new release firearm already priced. They made no changes or upgrades they got greedy. Now they sell for $700-750 if your lucky. Putting it out of market range. Go up $300 and get a CMMG Banshee or go up $100 and get the CZ Scorpion. Or get on the waiting list and buy a wonderful PCC that only costs $439 in 9,10,45 soon. The Extar is a good alternative. Save the $1000 for a full size AR or AK in 223/7.62x39
Indica Strain I don’t think making the same design of pistol makes you incapable of innovation, but I agree with Vega. Hopefully it works out something like the KSG. Bad at first, but through a revision, it became an incredible shotgun. Maybe next year (but hopefully sooner) we’ll see a G44 gen2 or some revision.
Finally got my PC Charger and love it. The only drawback I found, it is heavy for its size. Much heavier than my Foxtrot Mike FM-9 with 5 inch barrel. But that weight eliminates most recoil.
Do you have the following questions running through your mind; ● How accurate is the Ruger Charger? ● Will a Ruger Charger barrel fit 10 22? ● How much is a Ruger 22 Charger? Visit our website for more information. jungle-ammo.com/product/ruger-22-charger-pistols-for-sale/
Nice job Ruger. I will likely get one. I wish they would have made the receiver an inch shorter and added two inches to the barrel. Getting as much velocity out of the 9MM as possible, really adds to the usefulness of this kind of pistol over a conventional handgun.
This is a great new style and looks very reliable. Also, that is a fun shooting setup you have. I have a challenge for you. Instead of going up and down the musical scale, brush up on your musical skills and shoot up a line from a song such as: The Star Spangled Banner, Dixie, Yankee Doodle Dandy, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, etc. and make target practice more fun for us all. Love your videos.
Really in love with this but not the price. You can get the carbine version for less than $450. This shouldn't be more than $550, really they should be priced about the same.
this also comes with a handstop and is the Mlok one though. regular ones arent under 500 anywhere online as distributor pricing is over 450 minimum,so i doubt that.... and mlok ones are 550+ from what im seeing. But still it should be offered at nearly the same price as a rifle
As I was purchasing mine, they got a call from someone wanting it and the guy that I was dealing with told the person on the phone, " sorry the last one is going out the door right now". I was fortunate to get mine because I seen it the day before and I went home and did my research on it. Went back the next day I purchased it. What a Weapon.😁👍🦅
Thumbs up... I really like this set up, if I was on a personal protection detail, I would throw the Uzi in the scrap barrel. Couple things I think your ideal of cost. Yep maybe $650 if you want the 17 round mag and nothing else. Including sights. So add the 30 round Glock mag even the knock off. A decent red dot even a knock off. A brace as you call it, or a folding butt stock. Now you are at $1200 again. Which leads to; we want short barrel rifles, so I guess atf has something to say about that. So then we opt for a pistol with longer barrel options a so called brace/pad additional furniture for accessories. Now we have a hand stop (which ought be a must on all semi autos and short barrel firearms) also threaded barrels for suppressors. The list goes on. I just don’t get why the user just don’t buy a carbine. I love a short barrel AR but not so warm n fuzzy on a AR pistol Jmho
This is a must have pistol with a Glock extended 33 round magazine. I have a good brace a Romeo and Juliet optics green of course and a good suppressor. I took my niece out to shoot this and with minimal training she was reaching out and making the shots. I like this better than my AR-15.
Definitely a contender against the scorpion evo pistol. I do like the scorpion more overall, but these take glock mags. If I didn't already have a scorpion, I'd gobble one of these up quick. Definitely keeping an eye out for a used one down the road 👌
Even better would be a 5.7 caliber change kit so you don’t have to buy a whole new gun. With the way it is designed it is really easy to change the bolt, barrel, and magwell.
5.7 makes sense if fed through the mag well but not as much in this configuration. Sure, you could say the same with 9mm. At least a fixed barrel helps suppress 9mm, 5.7 is not so suppressible. 5.56 is cheaper and more powerful than 5.7, they are just too close in terms of roles to justify the 5.7, UNLESS you are grip-feeding it or using p90 mags, IMHO.
windsock777 considering the CMMG has delayed blowback, the Ruger will likely have more. Not sure if the cost is justified for a bit of recoil reduction
@@rite2beararms it's not about recoil being strong recoil is still felt and affects sight picture , delayed blowback keeps the sight from bouncing between shots, in a competition setting it will give you the advantage, in a self defense situation it will also give you the advantage especially under stress.
Ruger has a sick lineup now. They just continue to surprise me. I have got to get one of these. I’m proud to own some of Rugers products including their ar, about a thousand rounds in with not even a hiccup. Good review man.
@. Turnock It's not that simple for most people though. We have friends, family, churches, careers. Not to mention there are many people who would like to stay and be a positive change in the place they live. I don't think the attitude of "cut off California into the Pacific Ocean" is really helpful. The nation is pushing liberal... simply moving away will not stem the tide. We need to fight wherever possible.
BUIS are cheap and you can get a pair for probably $20. Sure the sight radius won’t be stellar but if your concern is having something mechanic, it’ll suffice.
@@jonkR96 CZ makes some sweet looking Low Profile iron sights, for their scorpion line. HK makes some mini flip up sights. and there are a few other already out for the Ruger 10/22's that might work.
Awesome video and and amazing little weapon! Never been a huge fan of Ruger, exception being of course the best .22 rifle ever made the 10/22. I am in the market for a 9mm pistol PDW. Its is as you stated a very crowded market for these type weapons so I am doing my due diligence and watching videos, reading reviews, checking prices and making comparisons. I still have not made a decision but this video is compelling and makes a great case for buying the Ruger Charger 9mm pistol. I should add that my use for my weapon will be for vehicle transport and VIP/High value Asset protection situations. My company does VIP/high value client and asset protection and vehicle transports. Small PDW work well in limited space. The advantages of the 9mm vs. our current AR style 5.56 calibers are we have less chance for bullet over travel and less risk to public safety if and when we ever had to use our weapons to protect lives. We will always carry at least one AR15 in the support vehicle but personal entourage will be supported with smaller PDW's. So thanks again for this review. I liked it and subscribed as well. Be safe, shoot straight!
Very nice! Comparable to the Stribog SP9A1 I just got last Saturday. Mine came with the same brace for around $800. Have you tired the Stribog yet, or will you be doing a review on it? I have yet to have shot steel targets, I like your range setup very much.
@@850spirates3 Howdy! This is no brainer for Ruger. I look to see aftermarket support for other magwells like, M&P, P10C, etc. This gun will dominate the "Pistol Caliber Market" 👍🇺🇸
Shootin' with Uncle Dan I love a pcc but could never get over how the AR pcc’s looked with big magwells and skinny mags. That always pushed me to 5.56 shorties
@@cephasmartin8593 10" is a little much 6.5" is really good suppressed 8" is a good middle ground. But with the take down you would be able to switch out the barrels for the situations if they decide to support that
@CapNFapN one wold expect a takedown format to be a luxury relaesed with or after a basic version and if nothing else it should be announced with the release of the takedown version
Got lucky and found one at my local gun store last week. I've got an sb tactical brace on mine along with a red dot and I gotta say, this thing is awesome
I only just started learning about pcc's and I am loving the charger, I was thinking about the extar because of how much of a budget gun it is and the it's charging handle is on the left but the polymer lower on it scares me this is honestly the perfect gun for me, and great price range too. I'm going to be getting one once I get my tax return.
What Ruger should be reintroducing the 44 carbine back. Cant find one i could afford. If they started production again, they would be a lot less. I love the 44 mag Ruger. Great little hunting rifle and with all the new mags coming out it would certainly fill the bill.
This is the PCC people wanted from Ruger. Takes Glock mags, is affordable, assumingly very reliable. I think they've got a winner here.
TheHvk don’t forget takedowns too
SR9 mags as well
I like the idea, but would use Glock mags as well.
They make 32 round funsticks for the SR9 as well if you're already invested in the pistol or just don't want to swap out the PC mag well.
@@herbderbler1585 Noted. I simply have a Glock.

Do you have the following questions running through your mind;
● How accurate is the Ruger Charger?
● Will a Ruger Charger barrel fit 10 22?
● How much is a Ruger 22 Charger?

Nice job Ruger. I will likely get one. I wish they would have made the receiver an inch shorter and added two inches to the barrel. Getting as much velocity out of the 9MM as possible, really adds to the usefulness of this kind of pistol over a conventional handgun.
I pick mine up Thursday! Can't wait
This looks like a fit for a worthy gun in a Resident Evil game.
It’s the pp19 bizon from the PUBG game I think
This is a great new style and looks very reliable. Also, that is a fun shooting setup you have. I have a challenge for you. Instead of going up and down the musical scale, brush up on your musical skills and shoot up a line from a song such as: The Star Spangled Banner, Dixie, Yankee Doodle Dandy, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, etc. and make target practice more fun for us all. Love your videos.
Really in love with this but not the price. You can get the carbine version for less than $450. This shouldn't be more than $550, really they should be priced about the same.
this also comes with a handstop and is the Mlok one though. regular ones arent under 500 anywhere online as distributor pricing is over 450 minimum,so i doubt that.... and mlok ones are 550+ from what im seeing. But still it should be offered at nearly the same price as a rifle
Maybe the take down version adds a little extra cost.
@@Jscot1001 Try the 15 round mags. They work well.
True, it has less barrel and no stock. But I agree with your price!
This has 10" less barrel and it doesn't even come with a brace! These should be in the $500-$600 range max.
As I was purchasing mine, they got a call from someone wanting it and the guy that I was dealing with told the person on the phone, " sorry the last one is going out the door right now".
I was fortunate to get mine because I seen it the day before and I went home and did my research on it. Went back the next day I purchased it.
What a Weapon.😁👍🦅
Thumbs up...
I really like this set up, if I was on a personal protection detail, I would throw the Uzi in the scrap barrel.
Couple things I think your ideal of cost. Yep maybe $650 if you want the 17 round mag and nothing else. Including sights. So add the 30 round Glock mag even the knock off. A decent red dot even a knock off. A brace as you call it, or a folding butt stock. Now you are at $1200 again.
Which leads to; we want short barrel rifles, so I guess atf has something to say about that. So then we opt for a pistol with longer barrel options a so called brace/pad additional furniture for accessories. Now we have a hand stop (which ought be a must on all semi autos and short barrel firearms) also threaded barrels for suppressors. The list goes on. I just don’t get why the user just don’t buy a carbine. I love a short barrel AR but not so warm n fuzzy on a AR pistol
Jmho
This is a must have pistol with a Glock extended 33 round magazine. I have a good brace a Romeo and Juliet optics green of course and a good suppressor. I took my niece out to shoot this and with minimal training she was reaching out and making the shots. I like this better than my AR-15.
Definitely a contender against the scorpion evo pistol. I do like the scorpion more overall, but these take glock mags. If I didn't already have a scorpion, I'd gobble one of these up quick. Definitely keeping an eye out for a used one down the road 👌
At first I thought it was ugly but this PCC really is growing on me.
They need to make a 5.7 version that takes their pistol mags. And make a 30 round mag.
DrewEdwardBacklas my thoughts exactly
Check out excel arms
Even better would be a 5.7 caliber change kit so you don’t have to buy a whole new gun. With the way it is designed it is really easy to change the bolt, barrel, and magwell.
Calm down with the 5.7 everyone
5.7 makes sense if fed through the mag well but not as much in this configuration. Sure, you could say the same with 9mm. At least a fixed barrel helps suppress 9mm, 5.7 is not so suppressible. 5.56 is cheaper and more powerful than 5.7, they are just too close in terms of roles to justify the 5.7, UNLESS you are grip-feeding it or using p90 mags, IMHO.
Great review. Hitting a 3 inch plate at 100 yards with that pistol is impressive . Now I want one for my "truck gun."
You should mention the P C 9 barrel will interchange with this P C charger.
Interesting. Wonder if that changes anything legally. Otherwise I don't really see the point of this being take-down.
Looking to purchase my first gun and my friend introduced me to ar pistols and I gotta say this might be the one
Curious what the felt recoil is of the Ruger PC Charger compared to the CMMG Banshee 9mm...
windsock777 considering the CMMG has delayed blowback, the Ruger will likely have more. Not sure if the cost is justified for a bit of recoil reduction
It's a 9mm recoil. If it's too much for you, you're a sissy boy.
rite2beararms we don’t always buy guns for the men 👍🏼
@@frostriver4547 I guess... 😏
@@rite2beararms it's not about recoil being strong recoil is still felt and affects sight picture , delayed blowback keeps the sight from bouncing between shots, in a competition setting it will give you the advantage, in a self defense situation it will also give you the advantage especially under stress.
I'm thinking about picking one of these up.. adding a brace and fun trigger..
Wife: You haven't bought a gun in a while.
Me: Not much I want.......nevermind, going to the gun store!
Ok Boomer
SinsationalMike .... not calling you a lier but there’s no way any woman has ever said that! Unless your wife is a dude that makes more sense.
@@patrickszuminski9446 Happens when u marry the right woman (and make enough money). Doesn’t hurt when she owns, carries, and shoots as well.
@@EmperorHerpes Somewhere near you are trees working very hard to make oxygen. You need to go apologize to those trees for wasting it.
Ruger has a sick lineup now. They just continue to surprise me. I have got to get one of these. I’m proud to own some of Rugers products including their ar, about a thousand rounds in with not even a hiccup. Good review man.
That seems so fun! Wish I could live in America! (Californian)
Atleast youve got it better than us in Canada :/
It’s California legal. Well except the standard capacity mags.
@. Turnock It's not that simple for most people though. We have friends, family, churches, careers.
Not to mention there are many people who would like to stay and be a positive change in the place they live. I don't think the attitude of "cut off California into the Pacific Ocean" is really helpful. The nation is pushing liberal... simply moving away will not stem the tide. We need to fight wherever possible.
I feel for you, though my state of Virginia is getting like your state of Kommiefornia. Oh, I fixed your spelling.
The lightning bolt shaped line/step running diagonally across the side makes it look kinda fugly, but other than that looks pretty cool.
You must have stockpile or deep pockets to plink with 9mm right now. Only defensive loads or high mark ups on regular ammo right now
That's why you stack deep when it's cheap
@@txgunner00 Yup.
Should always be prepared and have ammo stacked away. Even if you can only afford to stockpile steel case.
@@michigan9564 I commented on the prices no one but panic buyers is stockpiling now.
I got plenty of 9mm, but I do wish I had learned how to reload used brass at this point.
You need a wrap for that muzzle device, the original Charger from Ruger I have a massive hate for but this looks like a win!
That thing looks like a mini version of the M41A from "Aliens" and I must have one...
Thanks for putting a different brace than anyone else, was looking to see if this would fit especially upon folding for my pcc, awesome vid
Love the gun, but wish it had iron sights and a 10 inch barrel. (Every gun needs iron sights, or the ability to add them.)
Chris Sewell
MBUS?
BUIS are cheap and you can get a pair for probably $20. Sure the sight radius won’t be stellar but if your concern is having something mechanic, it’ll suffice.
@@jonkR96 CZ makes some sweet looking Low Profile iron sights, for their scorpion line. HK makes some mini flip up sights. and there are a few other already out for the Ruger 10/22's that might work.
My favorite gun to shoot, suppressed with subsonic ammo is quiet. Reliable and accurate. Fits in a pelican case that is secure and lockable.
With the suppressor, it sounds like a nail gun.
This PC Charger is a home run. Waiting for mine to ship. Have the brace, optic
and a bunch of “Happy Sticks”.
Waiting for the 5.7x28 version with a 10" using ruger mags...
Great video but it sure would help if you would tell people the model of the folding brace.
That magazine well it's friggin HUGE for it being 9mm
31 rounds.
Its large because you can swap inserts to use different mags.
Awesome video and and amazing little weapon! Never been a huge fan of Ruger, exception being of course the best .22 rifle ever made the 10/22. I am in the market for a 9mm pistol PDW. Its is as you stated a very crowded market for these type weapons so I am doing my due diligence and watching videos, reading reviews, checking prices and making comparisons. I still have not made a decision but this video is compelling and makes a great case for buying the Ruger Charger 9mm pistol.
I should add that my use for my weapon will be for vehicle transport and VIP/High value Asset protection situations. My company does VIP/high value client and asset protection and vehicle transports. Small PDW work well in limited space. The advantages of the 9mm vs. our current AR style 5.56 calibers are we have less chance for bullet over travel and less risk to public safety if and when we ever had to use our weapons to protect lives. We will always carry at least one AR15 in the support vehicle but personal entourage will be supported with smaller PDW's.
So thanks again for this review. I liked it and subscribed as well. Be safe, shoot straight!
Less parts than the rifle version, why is it so expensive?
More work goes into machining a take down version. Also the parts are different to accommodate the change in pressure that causes the firearm to cycle
@@antaries93 the rifle versions are also take down.
Your paying the cool tax. It also looks like its aluminum receiver vs poly.
I'd agree new tooling and engineering for slightly different stuff. Paying for new and slightly different right now.
It's because we all want one.
Very nice!
Comparable to the Stribog SP9A1 I just got last Saturday.
Mine came with the same brace for around $800.
Have you tired the Stribog yet, or will you be doing a review on it?
I have yet to have shot steel targets, I like your range setup very much.
Not going to lie, my drunk ass at 4 AM legitimately thought this was a computer charger for about two minutes.
tobias GR3Y just wait until the new Sig Sauer graphics card comes out, and I heard Kel-Tec is making RAM drives now
Are you planning a Christmas video this year. My kids loved the xmas cake video last year, it was a family event too watch.
I definitely must have this👍🇺🇸
Shootin' with Uncle Dan yes, I’ve been waiting for this. So glad there is a brace in this one. Just what I was wanting.
@@850spirates3 Howdy! This is no brainer for Ruger. I look to see aftermarket support for other magwells like, M&P, P10C, etc. This gun will dominate the "Pistol Caliber Market" 👍🇺🇸
Shootin' with Uncle Dan I love a pcc but could never get over how the AR pcc’s looked with big magwells and skinny mags. That always pushed me to 5.56 shorties
@@850spirates3 Well my AR9's have dedicated Glock lowers. They are great for training on steel up close and honestly fun and surprisingly effective.
Love mine! Picked it up a week ago. Fits perfectly inside my Glock bag with my other pistols.
With a 8" barrel it would be absolute perfection.
Yep wish it had a longer barrel. Like an mp5 ( ~9" )
agree, something between 6.5 and 8.5 would be excellent
10 inch barrel would be better.
expatxile NOT!! ..... 10”
@@cephasmartin8593 10" is a little much 6.5" is really good suppressed 8" is a good middle ground. But with the take down you would be able to switch out the barrels for the situations if they decide to support that
I wonder if there will be a binary trigger for the 9mm like there is for the .22. Talk about fun times!
Will the Charger's Barrell fit on the Carbine frame? Asking for a friend.. ;)
Yes in fact the barrels are interchangeable to my understanding
Now I just gotta find one.. :)
My friend asked the same question.
It takes 10/22 trigger packs so can it take the 10/22 binary trigger?😍
When are they gonna be available? Or did I miss that in the video?
Im really asking. I'm not being a dick
Pretty sure it's on Ruger's website now.
i like the can, the brace, and the red dot, tight and sweet - outstanding
Again, why dont we have a cheaper version without the takedown feature? Come on Ruger.
@CapNFapN one wold expect a takedown format to be a luxury relaesed with or after a basic version and if nothing else it should be announced with the release of the takedown version
There's always somebody unhappy
Isn't the modern PC9 only takedown with threaded barrel? I could be wrong on that one.
@@GeauxRilla a takedown version for this small of a barrel is kind of pointless...
silentReaper1220 It’s so when you have muzzle brake, compensator or suppressor on it.
Got lucky and found one at my local gun store last week. I've got an sb tactical brace on mine along with a red dot and I gotta say, this thing is awesome
“Ruger announced this a couple days ago, but I had it for a couple weeks now”
I only just started learning about pcc's and I am loving the charger, I was thinking about the extar because of how much of a budget gun it is and the it's charging handle is on the left but the polymer lower on it scares me this is honestly the perfect gun for me, and great price range too. I'm going to be getting one once I get my tax return.
@@elwinrobert7602 Well like I said I've only started learning, I'd rather pay a bit more for a full metal frame than roll the dice on cheap plastic.
We need one chambered in 40 S&W ! The Worlds Best Round !
The caliber that shouldn't even exist.
uhhh no.
You're kidding,right?
Wade Irwin : No kidding. Or know your kidding, and this is not it ! Ask the experts, they all agree.
What Ruger should be reintroducing the 44 carbine back. Cant find one i could afford. If they started production again, they would be a lot less. I love the 44 mag Ruger. Great little hunting rifle and with all the new mags coming out it would certainly fill the bill.
WARNING: do NOT put a Volquartzen hammer in that thing. I put one in the carbine version and had terrible malfunctions. Don't do it. Seriously.
ChesapeakeWahido Slam Fire ?
Sure that wasnt installer error? ;) Dont see anyone else with this issue online
Just the hammer or did you install the Volquartzen TG9 trigger assembly?
I installed the hammer and springs. I never replaced the trigger assembly
ChesapeakeWahido Thank you for letting me know. I was thinking about purchase the Volquartzen TG9 trigger for my Ruger PCC
Looks nice. I look forward to getting my hands on one. Thanks for the video and cheers!
When are they going to come out with a 5.7 😔
Preach..
Awesome !!!!!! I want one !!!!!!! Thanks for showing this Ruger PC Charger 9mm pistol , 22Plinkster
Kind of disappointing that it doesn't come with some iron sights.
A lot of companies do that now. They figure you are just going to throw an optic on it and disregard irons all together
Been with ruger for 10years
They’d sell me two in 10mm. Just saying Ruger.
Add me to the list for a 10mm version!!!
Or in 5.7×28 would be a home run in my book
