Can somebody tell what they think about this gun. I have heard Ruger has stopped producing these guns. I have found one in good shape for $400. Also will they accept Beretta 92 mags, I have piles of these. Maybe I should pass and get a Storm  Duke |

I had one for a while. I liked it but I got tired of it and wanted another handgun. I prefer the ghost ring version. $400 for those sights is actually a little bit cheaper than they run around here. When I got mine the trigger was awful. But that was fixed by really cleaning the whole thing out. I don't know what the previous owner was doing but there was a lot of silt type material in there that needed to come out. After that it was heavy but crisp. Pros: -reliable with all brass cased ammo I tried--didn't like blazer aluminum -boringly accurate and reliable -30 round aftermarket mags available -has scope ring mounts built in -can get picatinny style rail that mounts on ring mounts Cons: -kinda heavy -must use action stop/release to drop when locked back--can't slingshot -pretty sure they only use Ruger mags--but those aren't expensive -action is built into stock so you can't swap out for folder etc When I bought mine I had been leaning towards the Storm but it felt a bit cheap. All of the plastic bits annoyed me a bit. Hope I helped a little. |

I love mine. I picked it up used with no mags for $320 at a gun show. No ghost ring sights but it doesn't matter anyway since I use a dot sight. I bought a rail for it but it sits a little high for my tastes. I ended up putting a Bushnell dot sight on it using standard Ruger 30mm scope rings and it's just right. I've never had a failure of any kind and I use aftermarket 20 and 30rnd magazines I can get for $17each at the gun show. The magazines are for the Ruger P-85 pistols. The PC9 is very well made and robust. It's quite suprising when you take it apart because you think its just an oversized 10/22 but its very different. It is also very accurate, even with the standard rifle sights. Hope this helps. |
