Modern personal-defense carbines prioritize controllability, low weight, and accessory-ready platforms. For shooters seeking a compact, lightweight option chambered in an efficient cartridge, the new offering brings a unique combination of low recoil and modularity to the semi-auto carbine category.
RUGER LC CARBINE is Ruger’s first pistol-caliber carbine chambered in 5.7x28mm and is notable for its sub-6-pound weight, making it easy to carry and quick to shoulder.

Design and key features
The RUGER LC CARBINE uses Ruger’s patented Secure Action trigger system, pairing an internal hammer with an integrated trigger safety for a predictable trigger pull and positive reset. The rifle’s full-length top rail accepts optics and backup iron sights, while the M-LOK handguard gives operators a wide range of attachment points for lights, grips, and QD mounts. It ships as a state-compliant variant with a non-threaded barrel and a fixed, non-telescoping stock.
Magazine compatibility is a practical advantage: the carbine accepts Ruger-57 pistol magazines and includes one 10-round Ruger-57 magazine in the box, along with factory hex wrenches for basic disassembly and maintenance. At a listed price of $730.99, it targets shooters who want a factory-ready, purpose-built 5.7x28mm carbine platform in the Semi Auto category.
Ballistics, handling, and applications
Why 5.7x28mm?
The 5.7x28mm cartridge delivers high velocity with modest recoil compared with larger rifle rounds. That translates to faster follow-up shots and less shooter fatigue during extended sessions at the range. The cartridge is well suited to personal defense, range training, and small-game or pest control in jurisdictions where that is appropriate and legal.
Practical handling
Weighing under 6 pounds, the RUGER LC CARBINE is easy to mount from standing or seated positions. The top rail and M-LOK system let you outfit the carbine exactly how you prefer while retaining a slim profile for maneuverability in tight spaces.
