The Ruger LC Charger large-format pistol in 5.7x28mm with a 20-round capacity (brand part no. 19303) shares steel magazines and familiar ergonomic controls with the Ruger-5.7 pistol, scaled up into a braceable platform built around a 10.3-inch barrel. Ruger nitride-treats the steel barrel for strength, accuracy, and longevity, and threads it 1/2-28 TPI with a thread protector for popular muzzle accessories. The CNC-milled handguard is Type III hard-coat anodized aluminum with M-LOK accessory slots and multiple QD sling sockets, and a full-length Picatinny rail supports optic mounting. Ruger’s Secure Action fire-control system pairs a protected internal hammer with a bladed-safety trigger for a short, smooth pull and clean break, backed by an ambidextrous manual safety and reversible charging handle. Among large-format semi-auto handguns, this LC Charger configuration favors shooters who want a 5.7x28mm platform built for a brace and optic.
