Interesting they couldn't squeeze it into the PCC they designed w/ interchangeable bolt face. But good that it takes Glock mags. |

Which is asinine, since they designed the PCC with quick change bbls, replaceable magwells, and an interchangeable bolt face - to put out 9mm & .40 S&W versions til Covid hit, and now they only make the 9mm. I like the Ruger PPC, even though it's a slow seller, but if this is what it takes for them to put out a .45 ACP carbine, I'll take it. Name brand, strong warranty, Glock mags. |

I think I sold 10 or more SUB-2000s to the single Ruger PCC I sold. Not stocking it again anytime soon. Nor a HiPoint carbine, even slower than the Ruger. |

I like the fact that the mag inserts into the grip. Bonus.
I can almost guarantee a charger version in 6mo. 7lbs tho. Whew. After trinkets and a 20 round stick youre looking at nearly 12lbs. Youre in 308 territory at that point. |

They do feel heavy to me. The weight from the added length would be negligible but getting it to work with both cartridge lengths might be harder to do. Probably be easier to do a large frame gun in 10 and 45 like is done with most pistols. |

Hey, I'm the econo-gunner, what can I say  The hipoint actually comes in at the same price as the pistol after the kit is factored in-- $250 for the Hipoint, $250 for the hightower chassis. The Extar is $500 as well. But the Hipoint is kinda why I bought the pistol. It's so damn heavy. I love the velocity bump but you pay a literal heavy price for it. |

I have the same carbine w/o the stock, I need to chop mine & put the AR stock adapter & folder on it. We have a .45 can w/ no piston in the family trust, so my BIL has the 4595 & the new threaded JHP, both converted to 1911 mags. I expect to order another JHP for myself soon, selling my old one. |

I’d consider selling my Beretta CX4 in 45 for one of these, mostly because of the Glock mag compatibility. The folder is also a plus.

Well, it's not exactly love at first sight for me, because it's a bit blocky in the ass-end, but at the same time, it is a ruger. They're not exactly known for their works of art or award winning ergonomics (reference the old blocky P series pistols here).
But, Ruger generally are well made and reliable, so I could mostly ignore the way it looks. With that said, I like 45acp for HD and most anything that would be in range in my yard. |

It's not the most attractive package but I like the folding stock, non-reciprocating charging handle and Glock mag usage. I'd buy one, I've wanted an affordable .45acp carbine that takes Glock mags for a long time. The pic rail in front of the trigger guard makes me think there's a charger version in the works though. I like it.

Found this on the tube of you last night. Didn't realize Glock finally released their carbine.
I have at least 4 x Glock 45ACP pistols and a crap ton of Glock 21 / compatible mags. Reload .45ACP as well. So if I can find enough change in the couch cushions and under the car seats I'm going to hunt one down. Already have a spare RD or two around here somewhere. Yeah, sure. Ruger. Not perfect, maybe a bit chonky. It'll mostly be a range toy anyway not like I'll be EDC'ing it. Folding stock a plus. Might have to get a suppressor for this.

And if it's accurate it might be pretty decent for taking out hogs and other critters inside 100 yards or so. I want to see those accuracy reports though before buying one. I was considering the Hi-Point 4595 for this sort of task but the accuracy on those isn't stellar from what I've seen. Then again it is a .45 ACP so there are going to be some hard limitations. But I have gotten pretty good accuracy out my .45 Colt 1892 with ACP powered loads so it should be doable. |

The Ruger in 45 with a 30rd mag, threaded barrel & good trigger trumps my cx4s. |
