I wonder if you would be able to shoot 40S&W out of it like you can out of a Glock 10mm using the 10mm barrel.

The Ruger site shows the 40S&W but not a 10mm.

 

Nothing from Ruger's web site. Have the 9mm and have been waiting for the 45acp version. 10mm though...

 

I tried calling Ruger but it was after hours on the East Coast. Going to try again tomorrow and report back.

Nothing in the forums about it. Maybe it's the new Glock 10mm carbine and he got confused.

 

He really knows his stuff in general and was talking about it with a customer who was transferring a Ruger PC9. Guess we’ll find out in the next day or so.

It's not on lipseys so it's probably not real. CMMG has the Banshee in 10mm that was recently released, maybe he was thinking about that? Who knows.

 

I really hope this is true. It’s a pistol caliber carbine I will have to have. It will go nicely with my old ruger 44 carbine I inherited from my dad.

I never believe these "insider announcements" until they are corroborated.

 

Ruger doesn't make a double stack 10mm pistol. Are they going to make a carbine that takes 9 round 1911 mags?

 

They could, especially for states that have a 10 round magazine restriction, and then it could use an adaptor that allows it to use either Ruger mags or Glock 20 mags for states that aren't run by Democrats.

If a blowback or a delayed blowback 10mm isn't possible on the same format, I'd be happy with a 45 ACP that used either Ruger or Glock magazines.

 

Operating pressure is too high with 10mm to make a blowback PCC unless it weighs about 15 pounds. Same reason there's no .44 mag carbine.

Gas operated...possible

 

It's real.
But it's in .380.

 

I don't think a practical blowback system could be made to contain the 10mm.

The 9mm one has a tungsten block in the bolt to help delay the bolt opening. They would really have to upsize the bolt size/weight to make it work.

I can work on guns but not design them so I give it to the engineers that they might figure it out.

I have the 9mm carbine and would love a 10mm one but I don't see it happening.

 

Doesn’t Hipoint make a 10mm blowback carbine?

 

HighPoint 1095 TS Edge

https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2018/5/1/tested-hi-point-firearms-1095ts-10-mm-carbine/

Like its predecessors, the 1095TS Edge is a blowback-operated, striker-fired semi-automatic carbine with a single-action trigger.

Weight: 7 lbs. 13 oz. with empty magazine

Yeah, I’d say that if hipoint can do it, Ruger can.

 

I have no doubt they could but it would most likely be very clunky like the hi-point. I think what people appreciate about the Ruger carbine is that it's not a whole lot larger than the 1022.
Even with exotic heavy alloys the bolt would need to be fairly large. The 10mm doesn't operate at wicked pressures, ~2,500 PSI higher than the 9mm, but the recoil impulse is appreciably higher, which would cause the bolt to open too soon unless the weight or spring pressure was there to delay it.

I don't put it past Ruger to be able to do it. I hope they do. I would love to have one to go with my Glock 20.

It is said that the hi-point carbine is not bad. A guy in my department has one in 9mm that he is trying to blow up as a research project. He has been blocking the barrel and remotely firing it. So far, it's still together.

 

I had a hipoint 9mm carbine several years ago. I believe it cost $175 new, and came with scope mount, extra mag, and nylon case.
In the four years or so that I owned it, I put several thousand rounds through it...everything from white box to +P+.
It never jammed. It always displayed good, even great, accuracy...even out to 100yds.
Their 10mm carbine seems to get pretty good reviews on YouTube. If it used G20 mags, I’d be getting one.
If Ruger does it, even better.

 

Follow up: I called Ruger on Friday and the woman I spoke with had no idea what I was talking about regarding a 10mm Ruger PCC. She asked around for a few minutes and told me that they only have the PCC in 9mm and .40 flavors.

Too bad, my hopes were high. I am still hoping for one in 45acp. [emoji19]

That doesn’t mean that it isn’t coming. They won’t talk about it before they officially decide to release it. I am sure it will eventually be a reality.

TNW and Just Right Carbines are two companies that I can think of off the top of my head that make 10mm blowback carbines. The only one I have experience with is the JRC and lets just say it's on it's way back to the factory.

 

Olympic made (makes) one in AR form factor. I read they are still in business but not real sure.
