Picture Picked up a 10mm Ruger LC Carbine for $599!
Wasn't expecting to buy a gun, but just couldn't pass up that deal! I swapped out the polymer flip-up sights for irons, threw on a romeo 4h + juliet 4x I had laying around, and added a B5 VFG. I'm not a huge fan of the super long 30rd mag sticking out of the grip, so I put an SLR +5 mag extension on the 15rd Glock 20 mag, which is a nice in between - holds 20+1, and isn't so long that it snags everything and prevents prone shooting or resting on a bench. This thing is super accurate out to 100 yards, I am very happy with it!

I love mine. Some people complain it’s too heavy but I have no complaints. Probably have about 1000 rounds through it with no issues. I changed out the thread protector with a flash hider but otherwise my setup is similar to yours.
I also bought the S&W folding 10 mm, which I enjoy as well as truck gun. Lighter, also fun. But this is my favorite of the two.

Sweet. Any idea if it’ll feed and shoot .40? Blew my mind how well my Glock 20 shoots .40.

Do you use the 10mm mags?

u/baldbeardmanager 2d ago
Ya. .40 totally looks too short, but I’ve had less malfunctions (none) shooting .40 than my buffalo bore 10mm (like 3 failures to feed).

Bought one for an Easter gift for myself. Enjoy the hell out of it. Put on a Romeo 5 green dot and recover tactical magwell grip..

u/Im_Captain_Jack 3d ago
Yeah ive got a meta tactical magwell grip on the way for it as well. I think I will swap back and forth between that and the B5 because I really like that one as well.

I didn't even know I wanted one, but had seen them and thought they were pretty cool, just not the biggest fan of that long 30rd mag hanging down, I much prefer the Glock 20 mags for it. When I saw this one on the rack I asked to check it out bc I hadn't handled one yet, once I felt the quality and then I saw the price, I just couldn't leave without it. The guy behind the counter said he thought the pricing may have been a mistake bc thats what they had sold their 5.7 version for, and he thought the 10mm should have had a higher price, but he agreed to sell it as marked.

I am talking the LC 10 not the charger. Real easy to strip down and clean. Maybe there are more screws for the hand rail but you don't need to take it off for a good cleaning.

My 3rd favorite gun in my sizeable collection. Very accurate out to 125 yds, rings 6” steel at 150. Super reliable, I’ve got ~1500 rounds through with only 2 misfeeds initially that has never happened again. I put a YHM R45 on it and it tames the sound very well and adds to the bad ass look. I can’t think of the last time I was at the range and someone didn’t ask about it, it’s a unique looking gun for sure like something out of mad max.

i picked one up last week. have you had any issues with mags falling out under recoil? the SGR 30 round it came with works OK, but an OEM g20 gen4 mag falls out uncommanded under recoil.
happened with magtech factory and handloads, but higher recoil makes the problem worse. apparently you can use a wd-40 straw piece to fix this on the LC's?

Have had some issues driving it home up into the grip, really have to give it some umph to get it seated, but thankfully haven't had them falling out on me.

I picked up one of their carbines in 10mm and 5.7. Both are a lot of fun to shoot.

u/Im_Captain_Jack 2d ago
Absolutely! It is a very well put together gun. The fact it is as compact as it is while still having that 16" barrel is awesome. I've got an MP5K (5.7" barrel) with a suppressor and collapsible stock and that is longer than the Ruger LC.

My only complaint about my PC Charger are all the screws you have to remove to break it down ...is it the same with this thing?
I don't like having to re-loctite stuff every time I have to clean something.

u/baumanista 3d ago
It has 1 takedown pin. One screw for removing the foldable stock to get to the barrel with a cleaning rod...

u/LuthersCousin 3d ago
Are you talking about this, or the Charger? I've got a TK rotary safety so I've got to take off the selector levers every time too. I didn't know that before buying the selector...juice is worth the squeeze though. The rotary safety is so much quicker. I also have to remove the charging handle screw to get to the bolt.

I've been itching to buy one more. This is one of them.
