I have no issue with its function, but oh my! this thing is homely. I hope Magpul produces a better looking stock like they do for the 10/22.
I tried a couple of times to talk to a rep in the Magpul booth at NRA meeting to see if they knew of any plans to make aftermarket stock for the PCC. Neither time could I get any of them to quit talking to each other and pay attention to a customer.

I also talked to Ruger rep who was stationed in front of the PCC's in the Ruger booth about potential additional calibers or models. He just smiled and said because Ruger is public company he was unable to talk about it.
Since they can take Glock magazines, I would think they could adapt the design to fit pretty much any caliber Glock makes pistols for. The question is can it be done with a new barrel and bolt or not.
One of the YouTube reviews I saw speculated about caliber swap kits, noting that a barrel and carrier assembly swap would be all that is needed, and that it seemed to have been deliberately designed with that in mind. It would seem to be a natural fit. The rental unit I handled had a nice crisp trigger with not too much weight. Seat of the pants impression was about 4.5-5 lbs with a clean break and a reasonably short reset. Plastic furniture notwithstanding, I was very impressed with the fit and finish, and I really liked the iron sights. (I’m a big fan of ghost ring / peep-type rear sights.) If I can get my hands on one, I’ve already got a Primary Arms RDS set aside to mount on it if I need to supplement the iron sights......but God willing and the creek don’t rise, I’ll be fine with iron sights after this Friday, when I have my dominant eye’s cataracts removed and a fancy new lens inserted.
