If it's anything like the 10/22 or 10/22 mag carbine , I'd say it's great gun, if you like 9mm's. Generally, the Ruger carbine's are very reliable, if your going to the show, look for a .44 mag carbine, they stopped making them I think, but it's a much sought after gun. It can be used for hunting deer, unlike the 9mm. I would guess they will make a .45 carbine before to long, the concept is becoming very popular with the action shooting crowd, although the low capacity mag will be a problem. Many people load the .45 and it's readily available as well, so there is definately a market. These calibers are usually only justified out to around 50 yards, so your best off shooting the most lethal large diameter slug.
