Overview

The Ruger PC Carbine 19116 is the state-compliant configuration of Ruger's 9mm takedown carbine. It ships with a non-threaded 16.12-inch barrel, a fixed synthetic stock, an aluminum free-float handguard, and a 10-round magazine. Crucially, it drops the 1/2x28 threaded muzzle that makes the standard 19100 a banned "assault weapon" under Washington HB 1240, whose rifle feature test counts a threaded barrel. This guide validates it for Washington and New Jersey; buyers in other restricted states should confirm their own feature test before transfer.

Everything else that defines the platform carries over: the receiver-mounted Picatinny rail, reversible magazine release and charging handle, the SR-Series/Security-9 magazine well installed from the factory, and the Glock-pattern well in the box. The takedown system still separates the barrel and forend from the receiver for compact transport.

This is the SKU to buy if you live in a state that counts a threaded barrel as a prohibited feature. The non-threaded muzzle means no factory suppressor or muzzle-device path without gunsmithing, which is the deliberate trade for compliance.
