 Ruger PC Carbine - why?

I’ve recently been intrigued by the PC Carbine. And have seen a couple of posts mentioning that it’s one to get before the new law takes effect. So I’m trying to justify to myself in getting one. Help a guy out!

I already have a 9mm SBR and 9mm pistols, both subgun types and regular pistols. And I have a takedown 10/22.

So...why would I want a Ruger PC Carbine? Or should I get over my FOMO and skip adding it to my collection?

If I didn't have a Sub-2000 and Hipoint I would buy one in a heartbeat.

Why’s that? What intrigues you about the PC Carbine? Have you shot them?

The appeal is having basically a 10/22 in 9mm. I haven't shot one, but I bet the weight would make it a real smooth and light recoiling shooter. I went the Extar ep9 9mm route, and I've enjoyed it. Otherwise I was looking pretty hard at the Ruger Carbine.

I have the takedown PC carbine, and it's a cool gun, and it's nice that it takes Glock mags . . . but I don't consider it a "must buy."

A bolt action version would be cool.

This calms down my FOMO. Thanks. Maybe I’ll skip this one and not worry about it given the rest of my collection.

What is the difference between the PC takedown and say an evo scorpion?

Oh, there's no comparison for fun blasting, in my opinion. I have the PC takedown and a Scorpion SBR, and the Scorpion is FUN FUN FUN. The Ruger feels like more of a bench-style rifle to me.

Of course, the Scorpion will cost you more, too.

Ditto!
I love my Sub-2000 gen. 2! It is dead-accurate, super reliable, packable, simply designed.

So now I’m thinking about the Scorpion carbine...

I've only shot a Scorpion carbine once. I enjoyed it, it was a fun gun.

But were I in the market, I'd get a pistol instead, and add a brace to it.

I have an evo pistol, but was thinking about grabbing a PC m-lok takedown. Seems like it would have a bit of that PPSh-41 look, especially with a glock drum mag and could be a pretty fun blaster as well.
