Ruger LC Carbine 5.7x28mm 16.25" Threaded Barrel 20rd Black

The Ruger LC Carbine delivers the ballistic advantages of 5.7x28mm ammunition in a compact, lightweight platform that excels at close to medium-range engagements. This carbine transforms the proven LC pistol design into a shoulder-fired system with enhanced accuracy and reduced felt recoil.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional carbines chambered in larger calibers, the LC Carbine harnesses the high-velocity, low-recoil characteristics of 5.7x28mm ammunition for rapid follow-up shots and extended shooting sessions. The folding stock reduces overall length to 28.25 inches when folded, making it highly maneuverable in confined spaces. The threaded barrel accepts standard 1/2x28 muzzle devices, while the aluminum construction keeps weight to just 5.9 pounds.

Key Features

• 5.7x28mm chambering delivers flat trajectory with minimal recoil
• 16.25-inch cold hammer-forged barrel with 1/2x28 threading
• Side-folding adjustable stock with multiple length-of-pull positions
• 20-round magazine capacity with last-shot bolt hold open
• Picatinny rail system for optics and accessories
• Ambidextrous magazine release and charging handle
• OEM flip-up iron sights with windage and elevation adjustment

The LC Carbine excels in competitive shooting disciplines where speed and accuracy matter most. The 5.7x28mm cartridge maintains supersonic velocity beyond 200 yards while producing significantly less muzzle blast than comparable rifle calibers. Law enforcement agencies appreciate the reduced over-penetration risk in urban environments, while recreational shooters benefit from lower ammunition costs during extended range sessions.
