And I ain't the one which is why a PCC is high on my list if I ever get the funds.<br /><br />I was glad to hear that Ruger apparently learned from the Camp 9 about how not to beat itself to death. I'll be interested to see your reporting on how it holds up in the long term.<br /><br />And already having a G21, yeah I'd be interested.RandyGChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758726126424011542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-78644932126812264262019-04-20T19:17:44.918-07:002019-04-20T19:17:44.918-07:00Aesop,

Key word being <i>few</i>.<br />Whereas I can hand that carbine or one similar to anyone and they can do it all day long, with zero training.<br />It's a point-and-click interface.<br /><br />This is why musketry took over from archery: no lead time to develop passably lethal proficiency.<br /><br />Most of that commentary was aimed at one jet-fuel genius elsewhere who couldn't, even when hit over the head with the obvious, figure out the purpose of a pistol-caliber carbine over a pistol.<br /><br />@Rich<br />I live in hope they come out with a M1911-compatible .45 version.<br />I would even settle for one that works with G21 mags.<br />Given the simplicity of switching the mag blocks in and out, both are possible, in the same version.<br />Now Ruger just needs to build them.<br />No small part of my enjoyment of this one was something fun to shoot, that our would-be Communist overlords here in Califrutopia hadn't banned outright.<br />I've learned to get such boons while the getting is good.<br />Otherwise, my wishlist of firearms is fairly short, and my needlist is pretty much a zero.Aesophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834464741531503378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-49883563986973123182019-04-20T12:30:14.746-07:002019-04-20T12:30:14.746-07:00Thats a smart little carbine Aesop.

Some pistols, and some rounds, are quite capable of that range. Shooting freehand? The pistol definitely could, but not us! I've got nowhere to shoot now to see how things would go today.<br /><br />That said I'll take the weight to get the increased power and accuracy of a carbine. <br /><br />I don't expect to give up my Marlin but I admit one of these Ruger takedowns in .45ACP or 10mm would be almost a mandatory purchase.Rich jordannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-66716961995359014612019-04-20T07:40:04.398-07:002019-04-20T07:40:04.398-07:00I had a roommate in my .mil days that could center...I had a roommate in my .mil days that could center punch man sized targets at 100 yards with my stock (factory trigger, mag disconnect in place) Browning Hi-Power. So there are some regular folks that could give you a run for the money. Myself, not so much.<br /><br />The good thing after that day at the range was that I knew that my BHP was well sighted. The bad news was re-enforcing that any problems with getting the results I wanted were all on me.RandyGChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758726126424011542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-61811349947983842862019-04-20T06:44:18.213-07:002019-04-20T06:44:18.213-07:00Yet another excellent range review.
