Looking for feedback on the Ruger LC Carbine from any owners or members who have shot one. Accuracy, trigger and impression. Yeah I know expensive ammo, oversized pistol…all that. Looking for REAL experience comments.
Thanks much
Mike

I got one, and I like it.

Accuracy is exceptional and it runs real clean.
The trigger is kinda squishy near the break, but it's light enough to work easily and quickly because of the soft recoil.

Reliability has been 100%. I bought a couple Ruger +5 baseplate and have been running 25 round mags.
It's also a very clean shooting gun for being blowback.

Build quality is excellent. I really like the light weight of the rifle and how short the overall length is.

My only gripe is the folding stock. I thought of replacing it, but most stocks like the Sig folder will add an inch or so to the overall length.
I typically don'w fold it because it's so short, so I've not replaced it yet.

I have a Holosun 510GR on it and it's one handy/light package for anything inside 100-125 yards.

I like it better than the PS90, shorter top->bottom and not much longer, but way lighter.

Tag for more info! Smile

Also...
Blackwater,
Does the Ruger folding stock have a traditional buffer tube that could accept other stocks?
thanks

It is not a tube. Ruger claims it can accept AR stocks that would slide on a tube. I've not tried it, I was thinking more of a Sig skeleton folding stock for mine.

Thanks for the excellent write up Blackwater. Exactly the information I was curious about. Really like the overall size impression. Might be a great farm rifle for the truck or wife.

Not to be a title nazi but 126911 you owe me five minutes of life trying to figure out what the "Roger" LC carbine was, how I missed it/was it the new hotness out of Shot 2023, and whether Blackwater's Ruger write up made sense.

On second thought, I probably should have read everything before I tried googling it, so no life debt but just FYI.

It was I who must apologise, I was just trying to be cute and failed.
