Notes
Model 19309. Shares the LC Carbine chassis with the 5.7x28mm and 10mm versions. Glock-pattern magazine compatibility allows higher-capacity aftermarket magazines.
Background
The LC Carbine's bolt-over-barrel design lets Ruger keep a full 16.25-inch barrel inside a package barely longer than the receiver itself, so the .45 ACP version stays compact despite its long, legal barrel.
