Ruger PCC 9 Takedown Review

#1

Post by TxD »

I have been shooting/testing the Ruger for almost a month. (1800rds)
It has not malfunctioned in any way, This includes different brand ammo including hollow point and WW
White box. My 147 Bayous are 1.14 loa and 105 Bayous are 1.04 loa.

It is lightly modified with a Glock 2 port comp, added lead in the butt for balance, and a mild trigger job (polishing).
I normally shoot an AR platform with 16" JP barrel, Taccom comp, Hyperfire 24c, JP bolt and Blitz hydraulic buffer.
With the comp installed the dot movement is virtually identical in both guns, Small movement to the 2 o'clock and back.
Without the comp, dot movement is a small right hand circle. In either configuration the dot stays in the "A" zone at 25 yds.

My reloads shot to shot with the Ruger are .3 to .6 slower due to the location of the mag release.
Transitions are the same but splits are .02 to .04 slower. This is due to the trigger.
The trigger has very little pre travel or creep but suffers from excessive over travel. This results in a long reset and could
be corrected with a trigger stop. I believe this is the reason for the higher split times.
Initially the trigger pull was 4.5 lbs. After only polishing the internals, the pull is now at 4 lbs.
At the present time no trigger/hammer parts are available from OEM or aftermarket so I am hesitant to get too aggressive
with the stones.
The trigger, sear, disconnecter and hammer are similar to the 10/22 so when parts become available (Volquartsen?) the
trigger pull should get in the 2.5 to 3.5 area.
Overall I am very pleased with this gun.

Thanks for the review! This is my next purchase. Just waiting for Ruger's manufacturing capacity to catch up with demand. Everytime my LGS sends me a "Back in Stock" alert email they are out of stock again by the time I get to the website.

[quote="Rob72"]From preliminary reading, I thought that 10/22 trigger parts would be interchangeable- are they not? If the pins are the same size, you could drop in a set of shims. With your stoning, that alone should be a vast improvement. I've been watching the PC9 with interest...[/quote]

Parts are similar but different.
For example, the bottom of the hammer that resets the sear/disconnecter is a greater radius on the PC9.
The 10/22 hammer will not fit.
Got my shim kit installed today and with a little more stoning the pull weight is now 3.75 lbs.
Still working on how to do a trigger stop.
