The Ruger PC Carbine 9mm Luger State Compliant 10+1 is the folding-stock chassis version of Ruger’s pistol-caliber carbine, set up with a 10-round capacity and a 16.12-inch threaded, fluted barrel (Ruger part no. 19141). Ruger builds the chassis from glass-filled polymer with a flared magwell and integrated rear QD cups, then fronts it with a CNC-milled aluminum free-float handguard cut for M-LOK accessories. A barrel-mounted Picatinny rail gives room to mount an optic forward, and the billet aluminum receiver carries its own integrated Picatinny-style rail. The dead blow action uses a tungsten weight to shorten bolt travel, which cuts felt recoil and muzzle rise for quicker follow-up shots. For home defense, range work or a compact truck gun, it delivers the full chassis feature set in a 10-round configuration.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 9mm Luger, a pistol cartridge that keeps ammunition easy to find and recoil mild in a carbine-length barrel.
• Capacity is 10+1 in this state-compliant configuration, ten rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber.
• The barrel is 16.12 inches of cold hammer-forged chrome-moly steel, with a heavy contour for consistent accuracy and flutes that shed weight.
• The muzzle is threaded 1/2-28 and comes with a thread protector, so standard muzzle accessories can be fitted.
• Rifling is a 1:10-inch right-hand twist with six grooves, which stabilizes the common 9mm bullet weights.
• The stock is a reversible folding stock with adjustable length of pull, and the chassis also accepts AR-pattern and Picatinny-mounted aftermarket stocks.
• The handguard is a CNC-milled aluminum free-float design with M-LOK slots on all four sides, Type III hard-coat anodized for durability.
• Optics mount on a barrel-mounted Picatinny rail placed forward of the receiver, in addition to the receiver’s integrated rail.
• The dead blow action uses a custom tungsten weight that shortens bolt travel and reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise.
• Controls include a reversible magazine release and reversible charging handle for left- or right-handed use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many rounds does this PC Carbine hold? It holds 10+1: ten rounds in the magazine plus one in the chamber. This is the 10-round configuration of the folding-stock chassis model.

Where does an optic mount? Ruger fits a Picatinny rail to the barrel forward of the receiver, and the receiver has an integrated Picatinny-style rail as well. Ruger notes that optics or mounts extending more than .275 inch below the top of the receiver rail may not fit, so check that clearance before mounting.

Does the carbine break down for storage? Yes. With the bolt locked back and the rifle verified unloaded, you push a recessed lever, twist the two subassemblies and pull the barrel and forend assembly away from the action.
