New Ruger LC Carbine in .45 ACP

Don’t want another blowback PCC, don’t buy it, think it’s ugly, don’t buy it, but don’t knock those who want one. This is ‘murica, we have chocolate, vanilla, AND strawberry ice cream and you get to pick what you want. That’s the beauty of a free market. And I agree with the above posts, Ruger knows how to make a profit and they will sell a bunch of these to Glock 21 owners with lots of magazines already and the sad realization that Glock isn’t going to give us a PCC anytime soon.

Who's "knocking those who want one," in this thread?

Ruger will undoubtedly sell a pile of these, and good for them. But doesn't change my thoughts on another blowback PCC; and I certainly am not knocking anyone's choice to buy one.

Thank you….

A contrary opinion with zero ad-hominem embellishments…is ‘knocking’ those who like ‘em?

🤔

Lol.

I have my black rifles, and appreciate their transformer-like ability to morph into whatever role I need them too.

Doesn’t mean every rifle I like needs to be one….

Nor does it mean that there isn’t a large group of people that will love them and snatch them up.

Nobody knocked people who like it.

There are people who don't like what they see and people who do.

I would rather look at a burned fence post than this gun. It's a lot generational, and I am a big Ruger supporter, but what I liked they don't make anymore. I don't dislike people for liking any firearm.
 
There is an expanding market for "featureless" semi-autos rifles- traditional fixed-stocked with no pistol grip, no upper handguard or barrel shroud, no flash suppressor or threaded barrel. Henry almost has it right, with just the threaded muzzle putting it on newly minted naughty lists.

I prefer plane jane rifles, preferably with a wooden stock. But I would consider buying a rifle like the new Ruger 45. I wonder if the inverse is true? Would the tacti-cool crowd consider buying the new Ruger 45 if it was in a plain-jane wrapper?

Kinda looks like a hi-point and a Taurus had a love affair, and Ruger adopted the offspring. Still, I like it better than the 5.7, and it is a few lbs lighter than a Thompson. If I could buy one where I live I'd sure go look at it.
 
Kind of ugly. I was curious if there were any new Ruger PC 9 offerings. Yep folding stock for some models but no pics of it folded.

If mine ever gets here I’ll post a picture of it folded. Street price is $200 less than MSRP….
