Sturm, Ruger & Company has announced the introduction of the LC Charger in 5.7x28mm, describing it as a “large-format pistol” and it has several features handgunners should appreciate.
According to Ruger, the LC Charger has a 10.3-inch threaded barrel, ambidextrous manual safety and reversible magazine release.
Based on the Ruger LC Carbine, the LC Charger utilizes the same magazines and controls. It features a full-length Picatinny rail for optics, an M-LOK aluminum free-floating handguard with adjustable hand stop, multiple QD attachment points for slings, and Ruger’s safe, reliable and proven Secure Action fire-control mechanism. This mechanism combines a protected internal hammer with a bladed-safety trigger that has a short, smooth pull, clean break and positive reset, according to Ruger’s press release. The nitride-coated alloy steel barrel is threaded ½”-28 for the attachment of standard muzzle accessories.
Made in the USA of strong and lightweight materials, the Ruger LC Charger is ideal for the range, home defense, backpacking, or small game, the company said.
