Ruger PC Carbine 9mm | 16.12 inch Barrel | Magpul Backpacker

The Ruger PC Carbine is a semi-automatic pistol-caliber carbine built around a user-friendly platform with a Magpul Backpacker folding stock and Truglo fiber-optic sights. This configuration pairs a 16.12 inch barrel with a threaded 1/2×28 muzzle and a 17-round detachable magazine, making it a versatile choice for range work and competition or compact storage and transport. For a matched optic under $1000, a low-power variable optic or a red dot such as the Holosun HS510C offers rapid target acquisition and proven durability without exceeding the budget. The PC Backpacker design emphasizes portability while retaining the familiar operation and controls of the Ruger PC Carbine family.
