Ruger PCC 9 carbine or build a AR style PCC

[riceman]

I have a first Gen Ruger PCC9 which has been in the safe since I bought it. I like lighter guns and thinking of building as stated an AR in 9mm PPC that takes Glock mags, of which I have lots. Of course I would sell the Ruger to fund this project. Just looking for opinions on this.
Thanks in advance

It's what I have. Love this thing. Just changed out a few internals.

But I also have an AR pistol 9mm.

AR9mm's are great. But there can be some downsides, especially when building your own. Not all different brand 9mm BCG's work well with all lowers, uppers, or magwell adapters. Some only work with their proprietary upper/lower/bcg, and you need to read up on that before buying anything.

You will also likely need to tune the ejector to make it function properlyl. This can be something as simple as adjusting it with set screws, or using a file to grind it down until it cycles and ejects properly. Last is finding the proper buffer weight that works best with your build. Lots of people have their opinions on all of those parts and what works best and it can be all over the place. If you enjoy that sort of a project, when by all means do it. If you don't want lots of headaches and trips to the range to get your gun running correctly, then buy a complete one already built as the manufacturer has already figured all those thing out.

Ruger PCC or you’re going to want to buy a complete AR9. Building them can be troublesome.

This what I have with oem 1st gen stock, maybe before I go crazy, I should take it out and give it a try and go from there. Every now and then I get a wild hair stuck somewhere and go off half-ed. So, thank you guys for your input.
