I lucked into one of the new Ruger PC Carbines not long ago. A local Police Supply house had them in stock with a deep discount, $464 available only to Police, Fire, EMS and Military. I asked if Retired Military counted, they said "Thank you for your service" and rang me up one...
I have since put about 500 rounds through it, and have found it to be worthy. It is as accurate as a .22 rifle (about 1 1/2" at 50 yards fired from the prone position), and only about a pound heavier than a Ruger 10/22.
The rifle is handy too, broken down it takes up little space, can be stored under the seat of your vehicle.
The carbine comes with a magwell that takes Ruger Security Nine magazines, but included is a magwell that allows the rifle to take Glock magazines. This was a "No Brainer" for me, as I have plenty of Glock 17 mags. It works well with Glock brand magazines, as well as Magpul 21 rounders. I like the Magpul 21's as they are a good compromise on ammo capacity and size compared to the Glock 33 round mags. Price too, Magpul 21's are $20 or so, compared to $45 or more for Glock 33 mags.
The shorty Glock 26 ten round magazines also work good, and are nice to store with the rifle while cased or in the gun safe, so you will never be without a magazine.
The carbine will fit in the Ruger 10/22 Takedown Bag if you already have one of those.
Here's some pics:

These rifles are getting more plentiful, I saw them in stock last weekend at three different shops around Southwest Virginia, priced anywhere from $520 to $560. Of course if you are Police, Fire, EMS, Military active or retired you can get one from Town Police Supply in Collinsville, Virginia for a discount...

Still considering it, as glock mags are easy to get - as would a glock
