Ruger PC9 Carbine or S&W M&P Sport 2

[Hungry]

Have to stop thinking about the Corona Virus for a while, here's a temporary escape.  Blue skies and a sunny day at the outdoor range.

Anyone have either one of these? How do you like them, what model # do you have and what updates or mods have you done to them.

I'm a plinker and seriously looking at one or the other or maybe even both.  Both are supposed to be very well made at a reasonable price range. 

Any thoughts?

I'd go for the PC9 Charger pistol, 30 rd mag, optical sight, and arm brace.

Not sure but I was thinking of the Ruger model 19100 and adding to it

The S&W would be a 10305, adding a red dot site to it and that's it for now

Hope this is in the right forum

Thanks

Oh man that looks hot, gotta see what the effective range is, was looking in the (roughly) 100 - 300 yard range which I think the carbine can do well

Hickok45 has a couple youtubes on the carbine that look like in the range I'm looking for

Thanks

For plinking I like .22 rimfires and HPA pellet guns. .22 pellets are 500/$10. Air pressure is cheap too.

Hehe good point,

I've got a Walther P22 rimfire (made after the exploding barrels issues) but when the plinking needs to get loud I use my S&W model 19 (mid 70's) 357 magnum

How about a 9mm carbine?

That's what I was thinking with the Ruger PC9, but their fairly scarce these days with the current news and you can only watch so many youtubes, I haven't held and shot one yet

At that price you might as well opt for the mini-30 tactical instead of a 9mm.  Plenty of 7.62x39 ammo around and as long as all the ex commie lands and extremists the world over use that ammo, should be plentiful and cheap for a long time.

Wow  msrp is up a bit from the $600 I bought mine for a few years back after they fixed the barrel bedding problem. 
The 5854 is sweet though, almost like a short M1A.

I opted for the blued version instead of the stainless, it is a sweet firing rifle.

I have an S&W MP Shield in .45 without a safety.   love it

[Hungry]

The S&W M&P Sport II seems to be taking a bad rap as "an entry level" AR15 but everything I see from people who have it absolutely love that one too. Go figure
