The Ruger LC Carbine 5.7x28mm delivers high-velocity performance in a compact, lightweight platform designed for precision shooting and tactical applications. This carbine maximizes the ballistic potential of the 5.7x28mm cartridge with its 16.25-inch nitride-treated barrel. The folding stock configuration reduces overall length for transport while maintaining full-size rifle accuracy when deployed.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional carbines chambered in common pistol calibers, the LC Carbine harnesses the flat-shooting 5.7x28mm cartridge for superior downrange performance. The nitride barrel treatment provides enhanced corrosion resistance and extends barrel life beyond standard chrome-lined alternatives. The fluted barrel profile reduces weight by approximately 8 ounces compared to standard contour barrels while improving heat dissipation during sustained fire.Key Features
