New Ruger LC Carbine in .45 ACP

[zaitcev]

Unfortunately, the previous thread{1} got closed, so here's the news: Ruger LC Carbine in .45 ACP{2}. Uses G21 magazines, unexpectedly (I say that because Ruger still make Ruger American in .45{3}). Can a 10mm version be far behind?

That's a bit easier to swallow when it comes to finding ammo. Cool.

Such a high tech looking package lobbing big fat bullets.

Allow me to introduce you to LWRC SMG-45 (and Kriss too).

Here in Ca, I can’t buy one. I wish it was like the PC9, I would buy one in .45 tomorrow.

Stay safe.

Kind of interesting that they'd come out with a 45 ACP model before a 9mm model. But with all the PCCs being released in 9, and 45 kind of getting shorted on the new models, it's cool to see the chonky bullets get some love from Ruger.

 

[someguy2800]

Neato. I was expecting something more like the current PC9. I wonder if a grip in mag 9mm is forthcoming.

I've been wondering how long it will be till ruger throws in the towel on the American pistol line and tries to take another swing at a duty pistol. Perhaps this is a sign that they know its not going anywhere.

Hopefully they borrow a human hand to figure out the ergos next time

Hey, they may not be ergonomic but at least they are ugly

 

[DeepSouth]

I sure hope they make a version with a wood stock, or at least something that isn’t tackicool. I mean I’d probably buy that one, but I sure hope they make other versions, that’s terrible.

But 45 fan doesn’t have a lot of options in a PCC.

 

[sparkyv]

I may finally jump in on a PCC if Ruger puts out the LC in 10mm. Even better if it can digest a 40S&W round, from time to time. Still, I'll wait until the reviews are in before I do.

Can a 10mm version be far behind?

 

[drobs]

Kind of ugly. I was curious if there were any new Ruger PC 9 offerings. Yep folding stock for some models but no pics of it folded.

I'm a big and fat .45 fan but but take all that tacticool stuff away and give me a 10mm and I'm in. I just recently got into 10mm after saying never for years and I am impressed with it's performance, especially on hogs and in the woods...

 

[MikeInOr]

I like the idea of a .45acp PCC and I like that Ruger is starting to manufacture one. 45 acp +P is enough power for my uses. I already load .45acp and loading to +P specs doesn't really cost considerably more. Since I don't own or load 10mm the .45acp is preferrable to me. The same carbine in 10mm would be cool though!

 

[DeepSouth]

I already want a .45 Super conversion for it.

Maybe we can convince Henry to do a .45 Homesteader?

 

[MachIVshooter]

I find the proportions quite distasteful.

I also have no use for .45 carbines that do not employ some kind of locked breech or delay system to keep port noise down for suppressed use.

 

[GEM]

Not legal for me. Obviously this gun would be a gun of criminal choice and them wreaking havoc with a pistol grip. I'd be mildly interested in it, if legal here. Waiting to see in the next state over if their civilization fails because they can buy these.

I'd be interested as a home SD long gun.

 

[Hartkopf]

I don't mind the looks but I've been shooting Glocks for a while and my visual sense of taste has been destroyed!

 

[Lo-Profile]

Wish it was based more on the PC.

They're a little late in the AR-45 game.

 

[zaitcev]

Henry can do a 10mm or .45 Homesteader if they want within the confines of the existing gun. They have a length reserve and the mass reserve. But paradoxically enough, it's only going to happen if the 9mm Homesteader is popular enough. So, I'm a little skeptical. So far they failed to deliver on the promised P320 magwell adapter, what to say about a whole new caliber. If they reassign engineers away from that product, prospects become dim.

 

[American_Fusilier]

Over $1k msrp... ha ha, no thanks. I'll take a hi point carbine over that.

 

[Tinman357]

I plan to buy one.

 

[W.E.G.]

I just bought two 9mm PCC's.

Both of them ugly as sin.

Now this!
