*SOLD* 1997 Ruger PC4 Carbine .40 S&W Blk 16.25" *INCREDIBLE SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

The Ruger PC4 Carbine is a highly versatile and rugged semi-automatic rifle chambered in .40 S&W, designed to provide law enforcement and civilian shooters with a powerful, compact platform for tactical operations or home defense. Featuring a 16 ¼" barrel, the PC4 offers a balance of accuracy and maneuverability, with the power of the .40 S&W round making it an effective choice for medium-range engagements. The rifle’s black finish and black synthetic stock contribute to its functional, utilitarian design, while the checkered pistol grip and forearm ensure a solid, comfortable hold even under stressful conditions. Its semi-automatic blowback action makes it a simple yet reliable platform, cycling the powerful .40 S&W cartridges with minimal recoil and allowing for quick follow-up shots. This rifle stands out for its unique connection to Ruger’s P-series pistols, designed to be compatible with the same magazines used in those handguns. The ability to use the same .40 S&W magazines found in Ruger P-series pistols enhances the versatility and logistical efficiency for those already using Ruger pistols. The PC4 Carbine's sights are wing-protected, with a white-outline rear sight, offering fast target acquisition in various lighting conditions. Standard markings on the rifle are simple, keeping the design clean and unobtrusive. While the original Ruger police carbine was discontinued in 2007 due to low demand, the PC4 Carbine and its newer iterations—such as the 9mm and .40 S&W models—reflect Ruger's ongoing commitment to offering practical, innovative firearms for law enforcement, competitive shooters, and civilian users alike. The Ruger PC4 Carbine's design echoes Ruger’s tactical focus, blending the versatility of a pistol-caliber carbine with the rugged dependability expected of all Ruger firearms.
