223 has more muzzle blast and makes more noise but recoils less than the PC Carbine. A standard 16” barreled mid-length AR15 in.
#Ruger 9mm rifle review free
I did not find it punishing or bruising, but it does recoil and the muzzle does rise in free recoil. With the extra weight, the PC Carbine should be very soft recoiling when shooting the 9mm parabellum, right? Well… I have seen other reviews that say the PC Carbine has little to no recoil and that may be true compared to large bore rifle calibers, but for a firearm this heavy, I was surprised at the amount of recoil. The PC carbine is quite compact, but due to the weight, it isn’t as quick handling as the 10/22.
One might suspect that would make the rifle muzzle heavy but the complete bolt weighs 24.2 ounces, which keeps the center of balance right at the magazine well so the carbine feels well balanced, even when loaded with a 33 round magazine. Ruger fluted the PC Carbine bull barrel to reduce the weight where they could, but it is still a heavy profiled steel barrel with the 3-lug take down features on the receiver end. According to Ruger, the PC Carbine is 34.37” long and weighs 6.8 pounds (with no buttpad spacers installed.) The majority of the weight difference between the 10/22 and the PC Carbine is in the barrel and bolt. The Ruger 10/22 Takedown (model # 21114) is 37” in length with the standard (longer) stock extension and weighs 4.6 pounds. The PC Carbine is close in size to the 10/22, so picking it up was eye opening-I was surprised at how heavy it was. After multiple shooting, assembly/disassembly, and cleaning sessions I have come to the conclusion that the Ruger PC Carbine is NOT an up-scaled 10/22. 22LR in the 10/22 to shooting relatively affordable and mild 9mm parabellum in a compact and light rifle. It seemed to be a natural progression for a shooter to graduate from shooting very inexpensive and light recoiling. They have many of the same features: made by Ruger, blowback in operation, a synthetic stock with adjustable length of pull, a bull barrel threaded to accommodate a suppressor, and the ability to use some of the best magazines made in the industry. I bought the Ruger PC Carbine envisioning it to be a 9mm bull barreled takedown 10/22.
