I'm sure the $500.00 Ruger will be more than sufficient for my needs. Poured a bunch of Lee 356-124-TC last night to get ready!!

yes it does. It looks and feels and works just like a 223 ar. Only difference is the bolt and carrier are one piece due to it being a blow back action and the gas key on top of the bolt is only there to engage the charging handle. this is the one I have https://www.cmmginc.com/product/rifle-mk9le-9mm/ I guess I was wrong on the price. I checked my gun log and I paid 920 bucks out the door for it.
I've already nagged Ruger for a .45 that eats from 1911 mags. If they do that, I'll play.

In the Land of Oz, we cast with wheel weight and 2% Tin, Man.
I really don't think theres going to be much of a demand for a tactical rifle that uses 7 round mags. Might see a 45 from then that uses glock mags though. Ive been wrong before though.
my 9mm ar15 carbine is flat out the most fun gun I own. As cheap to shoot as a 22 these days to boot. Ill probably wait for a 40 because I already have the 9 but I might even talk myself into one in 9 too.
If properly maintained a Camp 9 will run with the best of them, it's a lot more fun when you can hear the impacts. Moved the front sight back to accommodate the threads for a suppressor.

Collecting .32 molds. Please let me know if you have one you don't need, cause I might "need" it!
heres something that might even make more sense then the ruger http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-1...516447502.html If it had last round bolt open I would probably have one sitting here right now.

Funny you posted that Lloyd, I literally just placed the order for that last night after hemming and hawing over it all day. As much as I like the idea of the Ruger carbine, the PSA ar9 suits my fancy just fine. I can just yank the flash hider off and use it with the suppressor that way. LRBHO doesn't really bother me (the AK doesn't have it either), and the arm brace is fine with me. I wasn't overly eager for the longer barrel on the Ruger anyways.
If it works for you, that's great. I actually find non-pistol grip stocks to be way more comfortable and the 16" barrel is a plus for my purposes. I thought about going with a regular 9mm AR-15 but the Ruger does everything I need it to so that's what I'm rolling with.
