Ruger LC Carbine: Compact Power in 5.7x28mm
The Ruger LC Carbine represents a thoughtful approach to modern rifle design. This state-compliant model delivers the performance and ergonomics shooters expect from Ruger in a lightweight, compact platform.
Design and Handling
Weighing just 5.9 pounds, the LC Carbine excels in balance and pointability. The unique bolt-over-barrel design with magazine-in-grip placement creates natural point-of-aim and reduces muzzle rise. At 28.1 inches overall with a 14-inch length of pull, it handles like a rifle that understands modern shooting needs.
Barrel and Accuracy
The 16.25-inch fluted barrel features black nitride treatment for strength and longevity. The 1:9 right-hand twist stabilizes the 5.7x28mm cartridge effectively, delivering the accuracy needed for both precision work and dynamic shooting.
Controls and Safety
Ruger's attention to ergonomics shines throughout:
- Ambidextrous manual safety and reversible charging handle accommodate all shooters
- Ergonomic bolt release and extended magazine release latch reduce fumbling
- Secure Action fire-control system combines a protected internal hammer with a bladed-safety trigger
- Short, smooth trigger pull with clean break and positive reset
- Multiple safety layers: integrated trigger safety, lightweight firing pin, and hammer catch
Accessory Compatibility
The CNC-milled M-LOK handguard features Type III hard-coat anodized aluminum construction with multiple quick-detach sling sockets. A full-length Picatinny rail accommodates optics, while adjustable Ruger Rapid Deploy sights provide backup aiming capability.
Magazine and Ammunition
The LC Carbine uses the same proven steel magazines as the Ruger 5.7 pistol, ensuring reliability and commonality across your firearms. The 10-round capacity meets state compliance requirements.

One Ruger 5.7 steel magazine, M-LOK quick-detach sling socket, and hex wrenches for field maintenance.
