Well, according to the Ruger owners manual (link below):

I saw a truncated version of that exact passage, on a ruger forum 🤡
Didn't mention the +p but then again, it was simply a reply on a forum. +P capable is awesome 👌

I'll have no problem at all running the NATO.

 

Who would of thought to read the manual

 

Another nightmare carbine. 🤣

 

Remember…being called NATO doesn’t make it NATO, nor does actually BEING NATO spec make it +P.

The NATO spec is for velocity, not pressure. It can include 115 or 124 grain bullets, too.

 

Remember....he's been told this no less than a dozen times and doesn't give a fuck because he's convinced NATO is +p...

 

Ruger told me today that while their American magwell adapter is available for the carbine, they are dropping the Ruger American pistol over the next two years.

 

Just enough time to re-introduce the SR line, to match the .22 and the magwell.🤣

 

One of the downsides to 124 grn 9x19mm ammo is that it goes subsonic before 50 yds, hence the Army pistol team switched to 147 grn from the 4.9" bbl Berettas as the bullet never entered transsonic instability. Not a problem from a 16" carbine, of course - I think I worked out in Kuwait at 120 degree temps, I would need a 12.5" bbl to keep 124 supersonic to 50 yds. This may be why the Army switched to the 115 grn round w/ the SIG 320.

 

Israeli 9mm used to be loaded purty hot, seeing as they had to function in a variety of firearms.
The early M9's were prohibited from using IAI ammunition because it was too powerful.

Rerun

 

Here's a question for AL and anyone else, but @ajole always has good input on this...

Thinking about a Scope for these here Ruger PCCs and wondering if a BDC is worth the extra $$ or what.

 

How far are you shooting it, & how much is your drop now w/ your chosen load?

 

Franklin Armory has a binary trigger for the Ruger PCC. With the right forend & a Glock drum, you're headed towards Suomi territory.

 

Cool Stuff, Backy

 

I need the FA trigger
