While it might not be for everyone, I like it. Glock sticks and when the Magpul drum gets out... like a modernized PPSh-41.

Today is your lucky day. Sadly there was too much wind to shoot any video.
Finally got to take these two to the range and try them out. Both are blowback 9mm carbines so recoil with both is fairly stout. I feel like the PCC (top) was a little worse. Overall I like the PC9 (bottom) more because it looks better, and the rear sight is in a better location. But it only takes old P-series mags, the charging handle is only on the right side, and the bolt hold open isn't reliable. Plus the trigger is really bad. The PCC can take Glock mags the charging handle is swappable to either side, and it uses 10/22 trigger packs. Plus there's aftermarket upgrades for it. As handy as the takedown feature can be, I have told Ruger that I'd rather have a fixed barrel and the rear peep sight on the receiver, like the PC9 is set up. Aside from the slight difference in felt recoil and the rear peep being so far forward, making it effectively smaller, I didn't really notice any difference in shooting them. I ran 200 rounds through the pair and without trying I was mostly able to keep rounds on target doing mag dumps at 25 yards. The only jam with either happened with a no-name P95 mag in the PC9 that turned out wouldn't even lock into the gun. I held the mag in and it ran fine for the rest of the mag and then I tossed that mag in the range bag. The PCC worked perfectly with a factory G19 mag and a Magpul G26 GL9 and a 21 round GL9.
I have a Midwest Industries handguard and Aimpoint micro mount coming for the PCC which should be cool.
I made an adapter for CZ-75 magazines, and it's not simple at all. At least the way I was able to make it, it requires laser-cut parts. Well, I made them with a drill, saw, and files. The quality was awful. The latch was the hardest part to resolve. Overall, I think a company with injection molding capability like Midwest Industries could make them. But the cost will be $150..$200. Ask yourself if you're willing to pay. As for the leader in AR 9 adapters, Stern, would find it challenging to make the bodies of adapters from aluminum, I think.

How are these holding up? Anyone running one with a suppressor?
Mine has been slowed down by the ammo shortage, but still runs great. It is my families first choice for a rifle. I have had no significant problems with mine and it just keeps chugging away. It seems to be the 10/22 of the PCC crowd.
I think this is the most relevant place to ask this...
Any word or availability on the Magpul takedown stocks?
