10/4/2023 0 Comments Ruger 9mm rifle reviewSights: Both the front and rear sight are mounted to the barrel. It makes for a really pleasant shooting experience.heavy enough to be safe, but light enough that it’s easy to avoid jerking or pulling shots. It’s light and crisp (probably about 4lbs).WORLDS better then the PSA mil-spec unit in the AR9. This did not thrill me, but after shooting it, I’d say it’s a non-issue. I will say that although the plastic lock ring did not inspire confidence, I had no problems with it loosening during firing. We’ll talk about accuracy later, but this makes me glad both the front and rear sight are on the barrel.and also concerns me as I plan to mount a red dot to the receiver, and I’m not sure how this will impact consistent zero. The barrel to receiver fit is smooth, with a tiny, barely perceptible bit of side-to-side wiggle when you put pressure on it, even with the lock ring snugged down. It’s not anything unexpected, but I’ll be keeping an eye on it as I go forward to make sure it doesn’t get worse. The receiver seems to be made of some kind of alloy, which after the approximately 500 rounds I have through it, is showing some wear inside where the bolt rides. The stock is plastic, the trigger is plastic, and most disturbingly, the adjustment ring to set the tension for the takedown barrel is plastic.So far it seems to not be a problem, but I’m not a huge fan. Today I took along the AR9 pistol too, just for a side to side comparison, and thought I’d share my observations, as I know there’s some interest in these.įit and finish and first impressions: There’s a lot of plastic on this gun. Took it home and broke it down, lubed it up, and got out to the range yesterday and today to break it in. I had them put me on their list to call when they got their next one in, and last friday I got the call. Well, about a month back, I was in at the local gun store, and they quoted me a price I couldn’t refuse. The biggest drawback was that I had recently acquired an AR9.and I don’t really need two 9mm rifles. And I was skeptical of the takedown feature, but I’m a big fan of pistol caliber carbines and I’ve always wanted one of the original PC-9s. When Ruger released the PC Carbine, I couldn’t help but want one.
