All our discussions of blowback 9s got me wondering about the Ruger Police Carbine.
We're talking the original, non-takedown, that used Ruger P-series magazines.
There is a linkage, above the bolt, that keeps it from bouncing out of battery. The linkage is released, either by pulling the trigger, or tugging on the charging handle, allowing the bolt to cycle.
I guess the Ruger was made for rough service; it's stout enough that it would give a mean butt stroke, something I wouldn't try with, say, a Scorpion or MPX.
But I'm not aware of any other blowback, closed bolt carbine using such a device. Does the current, PC 9 use one?
Any insight from the group?
