As a current PC9 owner, I'll have to attest to its accuracy and handiness at SD ranges. I can consistently print 10-15 shot 3-4" groups at 25yds rapid firing. It has a heavy, but crisp trigger. Its actually more of an on/off switch than anything approaching a trigger. What I mean by that is there's no squeeze through, its on/off. That quick, that crisp. You don't squeeze it, you jerk it and you still get great accuracy. But it is heavy as hades. The first time you shoot one you'll swear the safety is on when it isn't. People complain about it but it's that way for a reason. You can shoot it under stress very easily and very well.
I got mine earlier this year used in the local shop for 360.00. I've seen them as recently as March, new at gunshows for 400.00. Bud's was selling them online for about that price at that time too. Not sure what they're going for now.
The idea was of course to sell the PC9-P89/95 and PC4-P91/94 idea to LE, but as others have said it didn't materialize. They were always available to civilians though, but the civilian marketplace probably didn't see the utility either. As for me personally a P89 was my first handgun and I still have it. For SHTF possibilities I like the idea of mag interchangeability between weapons.
I wish Ruger had made one in .45ACP that had mag compatibility with the P90/97/345. I'd have one of those if they did.
