Ruger LC in .45

Anybody, anything? Looks like a lot of fun in .45 vs 9mm. Picture shown with Glock extended 26 round magazine.

Looks fun....but how much are .45 rounds these days? Not a bad price on the rifle.

Even though it's more expensive than it would seem with shipping, it's still a bit cheaper than BPS and Academy. Since I'm getting a very popular round from Remington, I still pay the shipping. Now if were some ammo I'm not familiar with, I would buy it on site.

I bought the weapon from familyfirearms for $740 drive out plus $40 FFL, while Carters Country has one for $850 plus tax, etc. Marksman Range doesn't have any, like Bass Pro, Academy doesn't have one, and lastly Texas Gun Club has one for $861 plus the normal fees. No FFL fee at either TGC or CC. So I'm very happy with the pricing at https://www.familyfirearms.com/produ...ld-adj-blk-13r

Nice!


Glad to see offerings and people buying things that are not AK/ARs.



I do think there is a solid place for the PCC in a lot of urban and suburban settings.


Bonus, Glock compatible magazines are cheap and plentiful.

Did you consider the 10mm version of this carbine?

To be honest, I really don't know much about 10mm, however I know that with the .45 ammo is plentiful plus one of the salesmen at some gun store told me that the 10mm was one it's way out. Now I don't know if this is true or not, however I fully trust and respect you on 'shooting' straight with gun owners about 10 mm.

One irony about looking up the availability and pricing of .45 ammo. I keep on hitting the button for rifle ammo because this is a rifle, however I have to go through the handgun ammo to find it.

10mm has a solid following. Especially those that need power and penetration when facing dangerous animals in the woods (think bears/big pigs). It's been counted out before and keeps getting new disciples. Uncle Ted writes about it quite a bit in his books. You can find it at most places that have a respectable ammo selection (like Academy) or easily online. My 10mm Glock 20C has no issues eating up .40 S&W (40 Short and Weak) when I come across some cheap for plinking. With the 10mm you gain a lot more energy, penetration and speed in a smaller package over the .45ACP. I've used Double Tap 230 grain hardcast to put a few big boars dick in the dirt.


Look into the full bore loads offered by folks like Double Tap and Buffalo Bore. Hornady and Federal both make respectable self defense loads. Be wary of the "FBI loadings" they were downloaded so the girly men at the FBI could handle the recoil. That lead to the development of the .40. I was so happy once upon a time when I acquired a few boxes of FBI duty ammo. Well until I shot it and realized if was severely neutered.



It's definitely a cartridge worth looking into.

After the fact, I had forgotten about checking the pricing and availability of that gun shop you talked to me about up in Atascocita. Given the same pricing, I may have bought from them. I just forgot until I read your postings in this thread.


You also mentioned .40 which I was told by someone at either an ammo shop or the gun range, and that person mentioned both the .40 and 10 mm were on their way out.


So can you give me a quick comparison between the .40 and 10 mm versus the .45?
