Ruger PC Carbine with Glock Magazines

With the advent of the new Smith & Wesson M&P FPC, I needed to take a look at my Ruger PC carbine that has been in the safe for a while. Since I am not one of the lucky ones who receive T&E guns for review, I needed to determine if the Ruger PC carbine was still relevant.

The Smith & Wesson M&P FPC exhibits a tactical look and feel plus the fact that it can be folding in half for easy storage and just as easily put into action, while the Ruger PC Carbine is built on a familiar two-piece take-down platform similar to the 10/22 and Charger takedown.

The Ruger PC Carbine has that rugged Ruger feel to it, and the look of the Ruger PC Carbine is of a more politically-correct pistol caliber-carbine, in that the style has more of a traditional look and feel.
