The PCC Ruger Charger carbine for 9 × 19 mm caliber ammunition is the latest creation of the American Ruger brand in the field of carbines powered by pistol ammunition. The weapon is characterized by the use of a lightweight polymer trigger chamber and an aluminum locking chamber. A 22mm Picantinny standard mounting rail is located on the body. An additional rail is located at the rear of the breech chamber and allows the installation of any type of flask equipped with an appropriate mount. The front bed of the carbine is ergonomically designed and has M-LOK-type mounting cutouts. The magazine socket has an inclined shape and is compatible with Ruger/Glock magazines. An insert is included to allow the use of magazines for Glock. The version shown is adapted for self-repeating (single) fire. This carbine is an excellent tool for shooters who are looking for an effective and comfortable tool for training and recreational shooting.

- The gun is fully suitable for both left- and right-handed operation.
- Functional bed: Aluminum bed with M-LOK ports and factory palm rest.

Light weight and futuristic design
For maximum low weight, the construction relies on the use of reinforced polymer and aluminum. This plastic is characterized by excellent mechanical properties. Aluminum and small steel elements were used only in places where its use was structurally required.
Mechanism of operation of the gun
The PCC Ruger Charger self-revolving pistol operates on the simple principle of a free breech recoil supported by a return spring. The lock is made entirely of steel. The reloading lever is located on the left side of the chamber and moves with the breech. It can be flipped to the other side, where it moves in a special notch. This makes it easily accessible for left-handed users.
Mechanical sighting instruments
The gun is not equipped with mechanical sighting instruments at the factory. Thanks to the Picantinny 22mm universal mounting rail, you can easily install any form of optics in the form of a collimator or optical scope.
Barrel characteristics
The weapon has a cold-forged steel barrel with a length of 5.1". The threads of the barrel tube are furrowed (right with 6 furrows of 1:10" pitch), all coated with anodizing. The 1/2"-28 thread allows the use of exhaust devices/silencers.
Lightweight and polymer magazine
The gun is compatible with Ruger's factory magazines and (after installing an adapter) also Glock magazines. The magazine included in the kit has a capacity of 17 9 × 19 mm cartridges.
Components of the set including the gun
Along with the gun, you will receive the following in the kit: a magazine, a lock with a padlock, an adapter for Glock magazines, an additional 22 mm mounting rail and a set of keys with instructions.
