Ruger introduced the LC Carbine in 2022 as a rifle platform for the 5.7x28 mm FN cartridge and a companion piece for its Ruger-5.7 handgun, with which it shared magazines. Earlier this year, Ruger added another cartridge option to the LC Carbine lineup, with a .45 ACP chambering. In another new-for-2024 offering, the company has announced an LC Carbine chambered in 10 mm Auto.

The specs for the Ruger LC Carbine 10 mm Auto closely follow the original rifle and its .45 ACP update. At its heart is a blowback action that uses an Uzi-style overhung bolt housed within an aluminum alloy receiver. This design allows for the rifle to be compact and feed from a magazine housed in the pistol grip. Like the .45 LC Carbine, the 10 mm version is full-size (15 rounds or more) Glock-magazine compatible. It is supplied with a 30-round magazine made by SGM Tactical. The fire control system is Ruger’s hammer-fired Secure Action system. Controls, including bilateral manual safeties and bolt releases, and reversible magazine release, are all within easy reach from the pistol grip. The charging handle can be switched to either the right or left side.

In a change over the original 5.7 LC Carbines, the big-bore versions have a short section of M1913 Picatinny rail molded into the lower receiver in front of the triggerguard, and additional M-Lok slots in the CNC-machined aluminum handguard, for mounting accessories. Receiver and handguard have a Type III hard-coat anodize finish. An M1913 Picatinny rail runs the upper length of the receiver and handguard for mounting optics and the rifle is supplied with Ruger’s fully-adjustable Rapid Deploy folding back-up sights.

The LC Carbine 10 mm has a 16.25” barrel with its muzzle threaded .578” x 28 TPI for attaching suppressors and other muzzle accessories. Its buttstock, which attaches to a section of Picatinny rail on the rear of the receiver, telescopes for an adjustable length-of-pull and folds. The rifle has an overall length of 30.60” and weighs 7.1 lbs. 

The Ruger LC Carbine 10 mm Auto has an MSRP of $1,049. For more information, visit the company’s website.
