The Ruger LCR is the evolution of the revolver. Its monolithic frame is made from aerospace-grade, 7000 series aluminum in .22 LR, .22 Magnum and .38 Spl +P models and from 400 series stainless steel in the powerful .357 Magnum, 9mm Luger and .327 Federal Magnum models. The patented friction reducing cam is a next generation design in fire control systems that results in a smooth, non-stacking trigger pull and the patented polymer fire control housing holds all the fire control components in their proper dimensional relationships, reduces weight significantly and helps reduce recoil. The high-strength stainless steel cylinder is extensively fluted (reducing weight) and features a PVD finish for excellent durability. Specifications: Weight: 13.5 oz. Overall Length: 6.5" Rate-of-Twist: 1-in-16" Additional Info: Blackened Stainless Cylinder

Ruger LCR Capacity

The Ruger LCR is chambered in either .22LR or .38 Special.  For models chambered in .22, the cylinder holds up to 8 rounds and for models in .38 Special the LCR sports a 5 round cylinder.  Both models have cylinders that are loaded by pressing the cylinder release lever and pushing the cylinder to the left outside of the frame.

Ruger LCR Ergonomics

Ergonomics
The Ruger LCR has a long and smooth double-action trigger and has a non-exposed hammer.  The LCR offers a 2-finger grip on its Hogue G10 grip that has texturing on the left and right side and finger grooves along the front.  The back of the grip has an upward-contouring profile that aids in recoil control to allow for a faster follow-up shot.


Ruger LCR Fit & Finish

The Ruger LCR has a PVD coated cylinder and all of its components feature a matte-black finish in both the .22LR and .38SPL models.  It comes with a Hogue G10 grip that is held in with a single screw and is easily replaced with aftermarket options.


Fit and Finish

Ruger LCR Concealability

Concealability
The Ruger LCR measures 6.5 inches long and 4.5 inches tall thanks to its short barrel and grip.  This makes the LCR incredibly easy to conceal.  Its hammerless design prevents clothing and other objects from catching on it when drawing from a holster or handbag, and its small overall size prevents it from protruding through clothing with the right holster and attire.
