About the Ruger LC Carbine .45 ACP
The Ruger LC Carbine in .45 ACP is a delayed-blowback, semi-automatic carbine-caliber carbine added to the LC Carbine line in 2024. It features a 16.25-inch alloy-steel threaded barrel (.578-28 TPI), a Type III hard-coat anodized aluminum receiver, and a reversible, side-folding, length-adjustable stock with adjustable Ruger Rapid Deploy sights. Rated for +P ammunition, it feeds from commonly available Glock-pattern full-size .45 magazines, shipping with a 13-round magazine.
The LC Carbine's bolt-over-barrel design lets Ruger keep a full 16.25-inch barrel inside a package barely longer than the receiver itself, so the .45 ACP version stays compact despite its long, legal barrel.
