One of the hottest segments of the firearms industry these days are Pistol-Caliber Carbines (PCC). Ruger has taken notice of this and introduced Six new PCC models. There are three models chambered in 9mm and three in .40 S&W chamberings. So now for a closer look at the different options.

While Ruger introduced 6 new models, not including the 4 distributor exclusives, there are few differences between them. First, all the new PCC models chambered in 9mm feature an aluminum free-float handguard with Magpul M-LOK slots on all four sides. The .40 S&W models have the standard black synthetic nylon stock and forearm of the original Ruger PC Carbine. Threaded barrels are available in both calibers.
