They made the trigger pull a crisp and light 3.4 pounds on average, according to my Lyman digital trigger gauge. The PC Charger makes use of 10/22 trigger components. The first thing I noticed when I started popping steel plates was the very nice trigger pull. Of course, the “cool factor” matters not if the PC Charger didn’t hold up at the range where it counts. However, with the ability to separate the barrel and handguard from the receiver, along with the attached suppressor, the user can break the PC Charger down into two pieces that can be slipped into a pack side by side. ![]() In its standard setup, the suppressor would normally make it difficult to carry such a rig discreetly. ![]() Of course, I had to take it that one extra step I tried out the PC Charger with my SilencerCo Octane-9 suppressor as well. It can be easily stowed into a medium-sized pack for discreet carry. With those accessories attached and with a standard 15- or 17-round magazine in the magwell, the PC Charger is a very sleek and compact package. That output is great for lighting up a close-in area like a large room or hallway without too much light splashback that could affect the shooter’s vision. They’re rugged, easy to attach and offer an excellent output of 500 lumens. The last accessory was a Streamlight TLR-7 weapon light. Also, with its extra-long battery life, its always-on feature ensures that its ready to roll when you are. The H1 turned out to be the perfect companion for such a low-profile package. To keep the FS13 brace company on the PC Charger, I also mounted an Aimpoint Micro H1 red-dot optic on the integrated Picatinny top rail. But it’s worth the extra premium for both the looks, clean machining and the excellent build quality. It also runs $50 more than the polymer model, which has an MSRP of $199. The “A” model has a 9.25-inch length and weighs in at 13 ounces, 3 ounces more than the polymer model. They sent the “A” version, which sports the aluminum strut versus a polymer one. It attaches via the Picatinny rail at the rear of the Charger’s receiver. The folks at SB Tactical sent over their excellent FS1913 folding brace. Charging to the DefenseĪlarmed by the hordes of frenzied, toilet-paper-seeking maniacs roving the streets and supermarket aisles, I seized on the PC Charger’s potential by dressing it out for personal defensive applications. The pièce de résistance is the short Picatinny rail at the end of the PC Charger’s receiver it allows the shooter to install a stabilizing brace or other accessories. The forend includes M-LOK attachment points along with a factory-installed hand stop to protect the shooter. For example, the glass-filled polymer chassis system allows the user to switch out the grip with any other standard AR grip of their choice. My excitement has to do with all the little touches that Ruger threw into the mix and the potential for what the PC Charger could be with a little imagination. Quite luckily, I was sent a review unit before the announcement, and I have to say that it’s been a little while since I’ve gotten this excited about a firearm. What can I say? It’s ready to rock and roll right out of the box. And yes, the 6.5-inch barrel is threaded (1/2 x 28) for a suppressor or other muzzle device.

Fittingly enough, Ruger has just made a timely announcement of a new, low-profile PDW system that straddles the gap between a concealed carry pistol and a full-blown rifle or carbine. While I don’t think this current state of affairs is the end of days, it doesn’t hurt to take steps to beef up your personal security measures just to be on the safe side. The worst part? I don’t think there’s a roll of toilet paper to be found in the whole state of Kentucky. The coronavirus is slowly starting to paralyze every aspect of American life from movie theaters to restaurants and even our nation’s public schools.
