Hopefully aftermarket manufacturers will step up and realize the awesome potential this little gun offers. Darn I have already thought of so many things you could make for it. I wonder how much weight could be saved by playing with different stocks? That's really my only complaint. It's about one pound on the heavy side.

Cool. I have the original PC9 and the only aftermarket support we got were buttstock mag pouches.
And those were discontinued after a couple of years.

I probably have 700 rounds of random junk ammo through mine and I haven't had a single issue, but my dad has. He has shot a total of 30 rounds, a 15 round mag per range session, and he has somehow had a malfunction each time...

Make sure he uses the knob to set the barrel to the right setting...mine was way off from the factory; wouldn’t even chamber a round half the time. Set it and it’s been perfect ever since. I don’t count this as a flaw because the manual tells you you have to do exactly this before shooting it. If he already did that....what mags is he using? Quote HistoryQuoted:

What say about this scope for a lightweight magnified option? I think it would really increase the fun factor a bit. I'd mount it in Warne QD rings.

Prisms are nice but I really want to keep the weight down (it's already heavy enough). I find that the larger red dots of 4MOA and larger look OK to my eyes. Maybe I'll look at some of those.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I keep reading how heavy the gun is. I got mine a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised. No, it's not as light as a 10/22, but I wouldn't expect it to be. I found it very well balanced and easy to handle. The weight reminds me of a pre-580 Mini-14. I never liked rifles with heavy barrels that didn't need them, resulting in the gun being front heavy. This is not the case with the Ruger PC. Quote HistoryQuoted:
