Ruger LC Carbine

Hickok 45 here with a little carbine. Yes, the Lc Ruger Lc carbine. Have you seen it yet? Pretty interesting. I'll have to say this is in 5.7, you know by 28 millimeter and It's kind of interesting. It's have one magazine that comes with it, but I thought I'd shoot it show it to you and You know see what we think about the thing. Yeah, we put a suppressor on it. Just a little bit easier on our ears 30 shoot something like a red plate over there Huh, it works probably one in the middle You know, it's pretty cool to the sights that not even mess with at all It's just the way it came open them up and they seem to be right on just flip up polymer sights Ruger, I guess one of the Ruger makes them or Magpul or somebody makes it for them, but they seem to be right on So You know, we also appreciate silencer or well silencer central I mentioned but SDI.edu The Sonoran Desert Institute. So, you know get yourself some distance learning get on the road to becoming a gunsmith You can work on fine firearms like this really could check them out Can I shoot a two-liter now with one of these fast little bullets like that one right there on the stump? Yeah And I don't think it'll hurt the plate I'm gonna pop it right I Might find out it's actually damaging them. I don't know. It's a r500 steel, but I never know I'll tell you just can't miss. Let's see if we can miss a pot There we go and do a little bowling with it Big old 5.7 cartridge. All right, let's take a chance and put one on the gong. Let me know we're here I'm gonna go back to the red square Makes an interesting sound a little fast bullet That's felt like the last round. Yep bolt stayed back So I just have one magazine. So that's all I'm going to shoot It's been nice seeing you know, we'll load one more at least maybe a couple So yeah, this is an interesting little gizmo. It's a Kind of different from anything I've handled in terms of the way it's made. Yeah, you got your adjustable stock Foldable stock holds around and I understand you can change it to either side to where to fold either way Plus it's collapsible to an extent, you know, I mean just link the full a little bit and fold it You got aircraft aluminum, you know Alloy, you know receiver and all this rail and everything nitride finish and the barrel I think to Things seems like quality. It's got a little bit of heft for its size even without the suppressor. The suppressor is not very heavy it weighs just under six pounds and I Guess because it's kind of short and everything so it feels like it's a little bit of a chunk but not really Boy just sweet to shoot. Yeah, just like really like a 22 and it feels good got a fluted barrel Interesting interesting little gun the way it's made that it's got the the bolt over barrel kind of design if you'd see I'll take this Off so you can see I won't take it the bolt and all that out But I just in terms of breaking it down and say you've got the bolt forward I think I don't know if it matters that much but where the bolt is, but I think I've done it both ways Just take this one pin out And the whole gun falls apart Yeah, and then you pull back on the trigger assembly pop that out of there You see the there's the you know, the barrel like right here coming through and then the bolt Closes, you know back there. So the bolt I've got it upside down, of course So the bolt rides like on top of the barrel. So it's a two-piece bolt. That's one reason why I'm fully taking it out, but It really feels like quality I'll have to say I might be wrong you might have one and it's falling apart on you Don't know let us know Let us know if you have one of these and what you think of it. Have you had good experience with it? bad experience no experience So again five six you've seen this little cart, maybe some of you haven't if you're new to firearms Especially same one the little p90 fires, you know the five seven by it by 28 nifty little cartridge I should be loading this thing a little bit. Well, yeah, I'm gonna try a couple of these We're not shot these in them. We'll try a couple of those just to see if they work We're pleased to see that all the federal ammo cycles it with the suppressor on and everything So Let's try a couple of these So you can tell any difference? We haven't fired them as I said, I bought these a while back when I had my p90 I sold the Pete was at the ps90 I guess because it's the semi-automatic version I Can't get excited about this little round I have to admit Even if I really like this carbine, which so far is structure is pretty nifty I would probably want a different chambering. I'm just trying to try these While you're here, you'll know if they work won't you? Okay Okay, let's work just so you'll know And I think those are two different levels of power. I don't know. So we'll get this mag as I'm yakking about it. I Asked you a couple of gun shops about a mag. I was gonna actually buy a mag just for the video A little bit better if I have a couple of mags, but couldn't really find it. It is the same magazine That the pistol uses, you know, the Ruger five seven and that's good Of course, so I would guess if you have a Ruger five seven You probably are looking at this thing pretty seriously That would be a fair amount of motivation for you. Wouldn't it? It sells for Under a thousand is around nine hundred So depending on where you find it, I guess and if you find it It I don't think it's been out very long. So that has an impact on price of it Firearms that are introduced and Manufacturers and media creates a lot of buzz about it If it is something pretty interesting and it's not being produced in very big numbers We know what that does to the price sometimes you get an artificially higher price for a while But so I don't know what what's going on with that or how available they are yet But Aaron what numbers? but it strikes me so far I get that strikes me as a Quality little carbine at this point and we've not had a malfunction. We both John and I fired it with and without the suppressor and We just got the suppressor it'd be kind of fun we were curious as to how much it would Quiet it down because you're dealing with a fast little bullet And not exactly subsonic round is it but it was more than I thought Makes it very pleasant to shoot Makes it easier to hit with right if you ever notice that if you're a firearm with a really good trigger Of course that always helps if you can quiet it down You just seem to shoot it better and if you can dampen the recoil All right, let's see how it does I'll put my ears in it's really pretty much ear safe. I was a little bit surprised All right, let's shoot something close like this target put a couple on it Up in second and we did have that happen once. That's the second time Yeah, it might be just marginal enough to be extremely reliable if you're going into combat you might want something a little hotter It's a big old heavy bolt and it probably wouldn't knock anything over over there. I don't really want to damage the animals anyway Well, those sites are right on Good sight picture. How about some two-liter action right here close? Nice nice, we should have got another pumpkin out. How about a bowling pin? Fell forward Very very sweet to shoot you'd love that it just feels great If you've ever fired a 5.7, you know, it's not going to kick kick much anyway so yeah, so twice we've had it didn't quite didn't work the bolt but Let's see, I don't know I can't really tell what we got on velocity here we got markings in We got 27 grain lead-free bullet there the FN nothing about the velocity 27 grain bullet. I assume you all know more about that Federal usually has velocity on here. I don't see it on this but Oh 40 grain bullet. Okay, so we got 40 grain versus 27 grain Difference in the weight of the bullet, but of course the the bullet weight is just part of it It is the power of the bullet I Think if I'm not mistaken, this is the the round that like the Secret Service carried is am I right the green tip? it's been so long since I had my PS 90, I just don't remember now But I believe that I'm correct and I'm never wrong, right, so yeah, we got the banish 30 on here and You got a fluted barrel What else thing else I'll tell you that anodized aluminum 20 round mag you get a 20 round magazine with it and You know, your picatinny rail is all kind of built in there and Magazine a little interesting and that the magazine goes right through the grip like a handgun doesn't it? And then your your over barrel bolt is a little unique so The design engineers worked overtime one night. I guess came up with this If you have one of these Tell us what your experience is or if you know anybody with one it I just don't know much about it Don't know. I mean, I don't know. I Haven't heard much about it's what I mean If a lot of people have them if you're doing fine They're causing trouble. You're breaking down I don't really totally clueless at this point in terms of what everybody's experience is being with them You know something share it But feels pretty nice and shoots well Feels like a quality firearm to tell you the truth It's overall length without the suppressor, of course is Less than 30 inches. So I think that's what this extended. So that's folded You know, you got a firearm like that little carbine. So pretty cool Pretty cool. If you like this bullet if you like this cartridge That's key I wouldn't mind see this coming out in some different chamberings tell you the truth All right Here and then let you all get back to your your movie, how's How's that? So Ruger 5.7 by 28? Yeah That's very ergonomic Feels feels good, you know, even in my Stream size and height it It's just fine for a little carbine sight. Of course, you put a red dot or whatever you want in terms of sights Or you could leave these on here And go manual go iron sights polymer sights Okay, it's frustrating I can't shoot my little close targets, I don't want to destroy them All right. Let's uh, we'll pump out a couple here quickly and see if we have any trouble Okay work, all right Chew up that bowling pin a little bit there Interesting smoke out of that Bowling pin that's sitting here needing to be shot On the last round so well seems to function pretty well and It's a quieter than we thought it would be with a suppressor. It's more suppressed than we thought it would be so Yeah, man, we appreciate everybody helps us the silencer central and buds for sending this on loan and The ammo from federal premium and for the Sonoran Desert Institute for teaching me how to be a gunsmith I Wish I wish the extent of my gunsmithing is That I own a sledgehammer and a dremel tool. So that's certified me Probably not right? No, this is pretty neat little carbine. I think I I Don't know what it'd be in terms of a negative It fits me better than I thought Triggers pretty nice. She's well, there's not a lot of a lot of negative about it if it Yeah, if it suits you this kind of firearm, the biggest negative for me is the cartridge. I would not buy one myself Because I'm not crazy about that cartridge but You know in some other chambering I don't know how well you could adapt this to a nine or a ten millimeter would be cool wouldn't it or something like that, but They might have that in the plan. Who knows so glad you came out and You withstood my ramblings really appreciate it. Life is good.
