They will sell a ton.

But , they would sell a zillion of them if there is a SOLID mag well adapter system for G19,Sig226,S&W MP,BerettaM92,Uzi,Colt etc etc.

Looking forward to this little item.

Not sure they can make the vertical mags (Uzi, Colt, etc) work due to the magwell's slant, but Beretta/SIG/M&P/etc should be easy.

The carbine already ships with an included Glock magazine adapter in addition to the SR9 one. So Glock owners are already covered without even having to buy anything extra. That was a smart move on Ruger's part. Glock mags are cheap, plentiful, and have lots of good aftermarket versions.

2018 is looking pretty bright given the down gun market since the election. Companies like Ruger are dropping some amazing new products like their new 9mm takedown Carbine. In the box you will find a takedown rifle very similar to the 10/22. It takes SR9 mags. It also includes a Glock magazine well adapter. It features a 1/2x28 threaded barrel and a 1913 rail machined into the receiver. It also has a last round hold open and adjustable length of pull stock. This is one cool rifle. Now if it shoots as good as it looks I think Ruger has a home run here. I can’t wait to get it to the range. My boys will love this gun and I can shorten the stock to accommodate them. I love the direct Ruger is going these days. I have one request to make this perfect - give me a 10mm version! ?? I love 9mm though so I’m quite content with it.

Hey guys, I have a video releasing here very soon.

In a nut shell, the gun is pretty cool. The only thing I can really ding it on so far is that mildly loaded range ammo will not properly cycle the gun with the Glock mag well conversion and using Glock factory mags. I had no issues with ammo like 124gr American Eagle and Fiocchi 124gr. Non-Glock magazines like those from ETS or SGM caused some issues. The ETS mags, once fully loaded (the 30 rounders) would bulge too much to fit in the mag well properly, but you could force them in. The SGM's would have the occasional hiccup and the 50 SGM drum had some issues too.

Glock mags and American Eagle or Fiocchi and the gun was good to go with no issues, at least my single copy of the gun is. Again, I have a sample set of one. I did talk to 22Plinkster who also has one and he too had issues with light range loads like Federal Syntech range ammo. For me it was Freedom range loads. With warmer loads his gun, like mine, worked without issue.

It also looks modular so you can swap out a mag well, bolt face, barrel and have a new caliber. Ruger has made no mention of offering it in other calibers though, but the gun certainly looks capable of taking a conversion kit.

If that's your take-away, then I suspect you have some sort of vendetta or chip on your shoulder. Out of all the guns I shoot every week, month and year guess how many have problems with Freedom 9mm?  This should give you a pretty good idea.

Freedom Munitions ammo - does it work well?


If you have something against Freedom Munitions, don't use it. I have fired over 90,000 rounds of their ammo and guess what? I've had more problems with Winchester White Box than I've had with Freedom in my collection of all sorts of oddball firearms which is why I continue to use Freedom. If Freedom starts to regularly fail me, I'll move on to something else. I'm under no contract and I'm paid by no company to promote their ammo. With that said, every major manufacturer offers me ammo to use. I use Freedom because 1) it's worked great for me and 2) it's affordable. Lots of people complain about the price of ammo so I use affordable ammo in the vast majority of my videos.

When shooting suppressed I always run 147gr ammo. It ran fine. I didn't run supersonic ammo through it suppressed. 22Plinkster released his video it looks like today on the gun, so you can swing by his channel and check it out. He's running it suppressed in the video.

That would take a completely different rifle given the OAL of the .30 Carbine cartridge.

Fulton Armory makes a seemingly nice M1 Carbine. I'm hoping to get one eventually. I know the current crop of reproductions aren't fairing very well in the reviews I've seen, so I've held off on buying one.

Please hip fire it and tell me if you encounter problems. I know, it's a strange request, but I discovered mine has malfunctions if I don't properly shoulder it. This discovery came after filming and will have to be noted in a follow-up video. I'm currently disputing the demonetization with YouTube and won't release the current video until I have that resolved. I noted with mine that 1) it likes factory Glock magazines best and 2) some mildly loaded range ammo may not fully cycle the action. I had zero issues with Fiocchi 124's, ZQI 115gr hollow points, and Federal American Eagle 124's using OEM Glock mags, aside from the newly discovered issue of mine not reliably functioning when fired from the hip.

I'm wondering what effect a extended barrel will have on traditional 9mm defensive loadings, as we know most loadings are optimized to perform within a certain velocity range, I wonder if it would be necessary to run a bonded, or similar bullet to allay concerns of non-bonded bullets breaking up or under penetrating with the added velocity?

Or does 9mm burn so quick that it never reaches maximum velocity, which leads to the possibility of development of specially "carbine/subgun" loads with modern projectiles to take advantage of the longer barrel?

Don't matter I want at least one (maybe 2) of these, awaiting MAC's video.

quite a few 9mm loads reach 357 mag velocities out of a 16" barrel (vs 357 out of a pistol)

But it doesn't seem that it is enough to cause bullet failure. A lot of the modern defensive loads are made to be somewhat velocity-blind.

I've noticed it with older Federal such as 9BP or 9BPLE, and its why my Sub2k and Camp 9 I use Hornady Critical Duty 135.

It seems to work better in a Carbine than it does in a pistol.

ETA:

I of course, shoot 147 HST in my pistols, and it seems fine in the longer barrels, but I have some Critical Duty left from when that was all that was available (along with the 9BP/LE) so I use it as cheap insurance, and I already have some.

Keep in mind that loads optimized for long barrels might mess with a blowback gun. I never read up but I feel like I remember people having trouble with some hot loads in blowback guns.

Shot a few hundred rounds. All through G19 mags as that's all I have right now.

Winchester white box 115 gr.
PMC Bronze 115 gr
Prvi Partizan 158 gr

Hornady critical defense 135 gr
Federal hydrashok 124 gr
Speer Gold dot 124 gr

No issues at all. I shot a mixture of suppressed and unsuppressed.

Hip firing worked fine.  Bump fires quite easily.

Shot side by side with the CZ Scorpion pistol.  I'll clean and sell the CZ.

Being heavier the recoil is better managed, shared mags with my G19, slimmer mags without a bulge at the end, I like the iron sights on the Ruger better. Same type, but the rear aperture being further away suits me better.

I can dream can't I???
That's why I asked earlier in this thread if magwell adapters could be 3D printed, or if they need to be harder than plastic materials.
You could probably make one on a 3d printer, but you'd probably either have to really beef it up or have room for inserts to make it stronger.  From the photos, it looks like the magwells are some kind of fiberfill nylon, probably GFN 6-6 or similar.  Mind you, I'm not an engineer so grain of salt and all on my post.

There are no markings on the mag inserts, but they feel like a glass filled nylon.
The Ruger insert has several metal components, with the ejector being molded in. There is also a transfer bar for the bolt hold open, and a spring loaded pawl for something on the front, no idea what it's for.

So, could you 3D print the entire thing? Not if you want it to last more than a few rounds
