Hmm, very interesting.
While the Ruger PC Carbine had me intrigued for it's ease of breakdown and relatively low cost, I was likely not going to get one to go along with my 9mm AR.
I could see the Ruger being of interest as one's first PCC, but still a hundred here and a hundred there build up quickly.
It looks as if the controls on the Ruger are placed similar to the 10/22's? I'm a putz, but the difference in controls between a 10/22 and an AR have had me messing up my AR handling in classes and competitions before.
I like the PCC because its cheap to load for. Also the ability to run a "rifle" in competition is huge to keep me on top of my long gun handling. A 9mm gun set up similar to a 5.56 AR is very handy to "train" with to help make that real self defense long gun second nature to operate.
I cannot run with the big dogs in competition, but still I'll always shoot a long gun to go along with the handgun, if it's an option. Why spend the money to go and not take full advantage of the "workout?" I may not be at the top of the score sheet in PCC, but being on guard with the home ranch long gun will be no problem.
