Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. is introducing a new model of the Ruger LC Carbine chambered in the hard-hitting 10mm pistol cartridge. This new version of the LC carbine features a 16.25-inch threaded barrel, adjustable folding stock, folding sights and ambidextrous controls. With the stock set to the shortest length of pull, this LC Carbine is just 28.6 inches in length. Based on the .45 ACP LC Carbine, the 10mm carbine features right- and left-hand bolt releases, an octagonal handguard, reversible magazine release and is compatible with most off-the-shelf, Glock-pattern, 10mm magazines.

The LC Carbine features an aluminum freefloat handguard with M-Lok attachment slots, QD attachment points for slings and a full-length Picatinny rail for AR-height optics. The folding stock is reversible and features an adjustable length-of-pull but can easily be replaced with AR-pattern stocks. The rear of the receiver has a Picatinny rail for maximum accessory compatibility. The LC Carbine can be easily disassembled without tools, allowing for convenient cleaning and maintenance.

The LC Carbine uses Ruger's proven Secure Action fire-control mechanism that combines a protected internal hammer with a bladed-safety trigger. This combination gives you a short, smooth pull, clean break and positive reset.
