10mm Ruger LC Carbine

Wonder if an LC Charger 10mm is in the works?

Salivating like Pavlov's dog here...
 
As far as I’m concerned the Ruger LC-45 has one big downside - it’s an insatiable little beast! OK I’ll admit that the trigger is pretty squishy and subpar, but ever since it came out I keep reading “if only it were in 10mm…”. Well here it is.

Supersonic 10mm clearly is the better cartridge. However, shooting the LC-45 suppressed is highly entertaining (see insatiable comment above).
 
Hopefully it's more reliable than my 9mm PCC. I have never seen so many stovepipes in my life.

I have never had one with mine. I am shooting cast handloads with speeds from 900-1200 fps and mixed brass. I use 10, 10 rd glock mags interchangeably and a 60 rd drum. What ammo are you getting stovepipes with?
 
That just looks so cool. Nice to see a companion for my Delta Elite and Sig P220.

This is a very well thought out design IMHO. I think it was specifically made as a subsonic suppressor host.

Folded, it measures just over 22” with a 16” barrel. Unlike the KelTec PCC, it folds at the back of the receiver and you can attach virtually any folding stock designed for an AR-15. The magazine goes into the pistol grip instead of a magwell forward of the grip. I call it a “quasi bullpup” because the chamber is farther back than any normal rifle but not as far back as a true bullpup.

The key to the design is a 2-piece bolt. The forward half actually wraps around the barrel ahead of the breach. That is how Ruger made a .45 ACP blowback action so short.

Field stripping involves removal of 1 pin. Take off the stock (1 bolt) and there’s a hole in the back of the receiver allowing you to clean the barrel from the breach.

My one complaint is the ****** trigger. Hopefully Ruger will offer an enhancement like their BX trigger for the 10/22, but that’s going to take a while.

(No - I do not work for Ruger. I just really like this rifle.)
 
I recently became aware of the TNW survival carbine in 10mm. Now I have a real problem. I hear the trigger on the TNW is also subpar. Must be congenital
 
Sounds like a cool gun!

Whats the biggest Glock 10mm clip they make?

Glock makes a 15-round magazine. Kriss makes an extension that would give you 33 rounds. I have their 30-round extension for .45 ACP. It works so far, but I can’t say “it’s reliable” yet and the instructions explicitly say “Don’t drop it!”

What type of bolt face does the LC-45 have? The bolt face on the AR style CMMG Banshees don't give full-support & cases bulge in their 10Auto model.

Wonder if the LC-10 will be able to handle full power loads without bulging the cases?
