Now Ruger has their PC Carbine in 45 ACP finally; I dont see it on their website yet --- the only thing they have is the goofy LC .45. I wish Ruger and S&W would stop trying to copy Kel Tec with their design strategies My only experience with the PC's is actually owning one of the originals - n...

Per BBTI, a 125grn Cor Bon 9mm in a 16" levergun gives up about 700 fps to a 125grn Cor Bon .357mag. That's way, way too much velocity loss to make the 9mm worth considering in my book. The 9mm sub2k manual says 1520fps for the 115gr+p and 589 fp muzzle energy from the 16 inch barrel. How does...
