Based on the Ruger LC Carbine and utilizing the same magazines and controls as the innovative Ruger-5.7 pistol, the LC Charger combines the best of both platforms.
The LC Charger is chambered in 5.7x28mm, a low-recoiling cartridge available in an exciting array of options for target shooting, small game, and personal defense. The pistol features an M-LOK® aluminum free-float handguard with an adjustable hand stop, multiple QD attachment points for slings, and a full-length Picatinny rail for optics.
Like the Ruger-5.7 pistol, the LC Charger utilizes Ruger’s safe, reliable, and proven Secure Action™ fire-control mechanism that combines a protected internal hammer with a bladed-safety trigger that has a short, smooth pull, clean break, and positive reset. The nitride-coated alloy steel barrel is threaded ½”-28 to attach standard muzzle accessories.
Made in the USA of solid and lightweight materials, the Ruger LC Charger is ideal for the range, home defense, backpacking, or small game.
