I sure seem to have the wants for one, just haven't figure out what for. Everyone I talk to that has one sure seems to enjoy shooting it. We don't have a steel target range at the club so paper is about all I could shoot at the club. Maybe pigs if the opportunity showed itself in the woods.
 
I've been eyeballing them as well. I wonder how it would do as a suppressor host. I'm not very impressed with my suppressor on a pistol.
 
Yeah, I kicked the idea around awhile back. I nearly bought one but decided that at the end of the day another AR better suited my needs.

Well Poo,I was hoping you were gonna tell me you bought one. I know a while back you were kickin the idea. I got to shoot one the other day and they are fun to shoot. Especially when its someone else's ammo.

Watch the video's on Youtube. There's a guy shooting one suppressed. Church mouse quiet!!

Curious....what are your plans for it. Recreation, hunting, home protection? My main concern is what am I really gonna do with it if I buy one.
 
Took mine on a gator hunt last year. Worked fine. Mine usually is with me in the shop for ground hog, skunk, coon & dillo dispatch. 147's with several of my cans sound good & hit with more wallop than a 22.
 
I bought one last December. Love it only problem is keeping enough ammo around, I tend too go through a lot when it comes with me.
 
I plan to use it for all of the reasins you stated...be nice for close range predator, cheap as it gets for targets w/ more punch than .22, and compact enough for home defense, without the noise of 12ga
 
Armslist has 9 pages of PC Carbines for sale with maybe a half dozen used ones. They must be pretty reliable rifles with no more than that for sale. I can't say I have seen any used ones around here for sale either. I did watch a few video's comparing the Kel-Tec 2000 to the Ruger. Not many complaints on the Kel-Tec and it is a little lighter and considerably cheaper, but all in all, the PC Carbine was the favorite of the two.
