Seeking Advice on Extended Magazines for Ruger PC Charger

I’ve recently acquired a Ruger PC Charger and I’m really impressed with its build and performance. However, I’m interested in enhancing its capacity with an extended magazine. I’ve seen a few options out there, but I’m not sure which ones are the best fit. Here are some questions I’ve been mulling over:

Questions:

  1. What are the best brands of extended magazines that are compatible with the Ruger PC Charger?
    I’ve heard mixed reviews about certain brands, so I want to know which ones are reliable and worth the investment.

  2. Are there any specific features I should look for in an extended magazine?
    Things like durability, feeding reliability, and ease of handling come to mind, but I’d love to hear from others about what’s made a difference for them.

  3. Has anyone had experience with aftermarket options versus OEM magazines?
    Are the aftermarket ones worth a shot, or should I stick with the original Ruger parts?

  4. Any recommendations on where to purchase these magazines?
    Online retail options, local gun shops, or any preferred vendors would be helpful.

  5. What sort of performance increase can I expect with an extended magazine?
    Does adding a higher capacity magazine affect the accuracy or reliability of the firearm in any noticeable way?

I’m looking forward to getting your insights and recommendations. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

I’m looking for extended magazines compatible with the Ruger PC Charger too! I’ve heard great things about the ProMag and the Glock 17-compatible options. Any thoughts?

ProMag is solid, but I had to do a little tweaking to get it to feed properly. A bit of sanding on the feed lips worked wonders! What model do you have?

4

I’ve been using the Magpul PMAGs, and they fit well. Did you know those come with a dust cover? Very handy for extended trips!

5

I didn’t know that! That’s definitely a plus for keeping them clean. Are they easy to load?

They are fairly easy to load, but I’ve encountered some issues with retaining the last round. Anyone else had this problem?

Yeah, I’ve had mixed results too. Maybe we need to examine the follower? Anyone tried aftermarket ones?

I tried an aftermarket follower on my ProMag, but it was a waste of money. The originals work better despite the issues.

That’s interesting. I assumed aftermarket would improve it! What about ammo? Does it affect reliability?

I’ve found that using higher quality ammo helps with feeding issues. Avoiding cheap stuff seems key for reliability.

11

So true! But on the flip side, anyone had success with cheaper brands? It could help save a buck!

12

Honestly, my experience with cheap brands has been dreadful. Stick to reputable brands when possible! With firearms, quality matters.

13

No doubt! It’s like dating—better to invest in quality than to deal with headaches later.

14

It’s also about finding the right fit. Rugers can be picky, so trying out different options is essential. Anyone had great success with modifying their mags?

15

Absolutely! It varies widely across regions, and some states even have magazine capacity limits. It’s a maze navigating all the laws.

16

If you’re in California, watch out! They have a 10-round limit for magazines. I had to go through a lot to get compliant ones for my PC Charger.

17

I’m looking into the legalities too! It’s crucial to know your local laws when using extended magazines for the Ruger PC Charger. Some states have strict regulations.

18

Crazy, right? I live in Texas, and we can have higher capacities without issues, but it can also lead to confusion when traveling.

19

I found some resources online but often they just raise more questions than answers. How do you guys keep track of changes in laws?

It’s tough! I usually bookmark websites like the NRA and state-specific gun groups for updates.
