    Classic Firearms has them in stock now for $829.99. A little more than I thought they would go for.

    This video showed up in my news feed and actually changed my mind on this gun. I want one now.

    I like my kel tec sub 2000, liked it since I was a kid and it was called the sub9, but this looks hands down better.

    Hop of TFB TV posted a video review for Charger. He generally liked the quality and reliability, but did not see whom the gun was for. His boss, James, complained about the magazine location and the lack of a bolt release lever. You have to pull the charging handle like on SKS. In addition, the brace is intended to SIG MPX, so it folds the the left. as a result the charging handle has to be kept on the right, and then right-handed shooters must reach over or under.

    Sounds like a good review to watch. Was this on YouTube? I'll look it up later, but any chance you have a link handy?

    . . .as a result the charging handle has to be kept on the right, and then right-handed shooters must reach over or under.

    Hmmmm. I’m left-handed. For years, the right handed reviewers have been telling me it’s no big deal for me to have to adjust for guns designed by right handers for right handers.

    I guess it’s just a matter of whose ox is being gored.

    Put a rail to tube adapter and use any standard brace.

    I hear ya. I'm not a south paw, but I can see how the shoe is on the other foot lol. For me, I don't see what it gives us that a AR9 doesn't, besides the folding brace, which isn't worth the awkward charging. Always nice to see innovation though.

    I just watched another video on these.
    Pretty cool how they include the Glock magwell adapter so it takes Glock mags....
    I makes me wonder why it doesn’t also ship with a 1911 magwell, for the 8 or 9 people who would have wanted that.....lololololol

    Ruger made choices and left the additional adapters to the aftermarket.
    Fraurem is working on a CZ-75 adapter with SIG P320 adapter next.
    A hand-built prototype is cycling okay, so working with parts suppliers right now for things like laser-cut ejectors.
    Ruger have a real factory, so it's nothing for them to make a series of stampings for 10,000 guns. But in the same time, it's cost-prohibitive for them to make 50 adapters for 9mm 1911 magazines. Who even uses those?
    Expect the boutique adapters to be expensive -- at least $150- -- which makes them a hard sell for a gun as cheap as Ruger PC Carbine or Charger.
