Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. introduced the LC Carbine in .45 ACP at the SHOT Show in January of this year. It was a nice looking platform and seemed well thought out. A lightweight, 16-inch carbine, with factory threaded barrel folding stock, and it takes Glock mags. What more could you want? Well how about a 10mm? If that’s what you were thinking then it’s your lucky day, since that’s just what Ruger announced, the LC Carbine in 10mm.
The new Ruger LC Carbine chambered in 10mm Auto shares most of the features with its .45 ACP brother. It has a 16.25-inch threaded barrel, adjustable folding stock, Ruger Rapid Deploy folding sights and ambidextrous controls. The LC Carbine is only 28.6 inches long with the stock collapsed. It has right- and left-hand bolt releases, an octagonal handguard, a reversible magazine release and, yes, it uses Glock magazines.
The LC Carbine uses an aluminum free-float handguard that has M-LOK attachment slots, QD attachment points for slings and a full-length Picatinny rail. The adjustable, folding stock is reversible so you can fold it your way. If you prefer a different style stock it can be be replaced with AR-pattern stocks. The rear of the receiver has a Picatinny rail so you could also put on any stock with that interface.
Ruger uses their Secure Action fire-control mechanism in the LC Carbine. It combines a protected internal hammer with a bladed-safety trigger that has a short, smooth pull, clean break and positive reset. The 10mm LC is made in the USA and Ruger is recommending it for range use, home defense or hunting.

Still reading what you all write…just minimizing my exposure to the artificially lacking intelligence.
Less of it over at SNW.
I always thought 10 mm was the only caliber that made any sense in a PCC. If you like that sort of thing. A SMG in 9 mm, or .45 ACP makes more sense to me. Or, a rifle.
10MM doesn’t see big gains like you see with .357 from a carbine. You only get something like 200FPS from 5″ to 16″.
It looks cool but a THOUSAND bucks?!? Oh some bastard apparently shot at Trump at Mar-a-lago! Fake newz at 11🙄
Secret Service shot at someone with a AK-47 near the golf course. Perp in custody.
