A look at one of the 2024 releases from Ruger, the 45 ACP LC Carbine by the Military Arms Channel. This is a lightweight carbine with a 16.25" threaded barrel, folding stock, sights, and ambidextrous controls. At its shortest length, it's only 28.66" long. It has an aluminum handguard with slots for accessories, a full-length rail for optics, and a folding, adjustable stock that can be replaced with AR-style stocks. For easy use by both right and left-handed shooters, it has an ambidextrous safety, bolt release, charging handle, and magazine release. Disassembly requires no tools, and its reliable Secure Action fire-control system provides a smooth trigger pull. Made in the USA, this carbine is suitable for range use, home defense, or hunting.
