My ear trouble (tinnitus) is so bad that I can't handle the noise of .223 or even a magnum revolver, so I'm looking to get back into the PCC game.
I was about to pull the trigger on a Ruger 77/357, but with all the reports of jamming, I decided against it.
I've owned a Ruger PC-9 and an Olympic AR style 9mm.
The Ruger was very reliable, but had very heavy recoil for 9mm. I think it was because of the extremely heavy bolt, it extends into the forearm and is about half the weight of the gun.
The Oly had far less recoil, but the modified Sten gun mags were very expensive during the AWB. The one magazine I had came a little rusty inside and never operated quite right, the follower would bind.
I was looking at a nice Colt 9mm at my LGS, but I don't want a gun marked LE/military only.
The new Stag Arms model 9/9T look like fun, but no reviews yet.
I think I'll get a CMMG AR if I can afford it, and if not, the Beretta Storm.
I have a lot of 9mm components that need a home.
