Short for “Lightweight Compact Revolver,” this Ruger LCR lives up to the name and has become a trusted choice for personal protection. Chambered in 38 Spec, this American-made revolver boasts an aerospace-grade aluminum frame, as well as a steel cylinder that is fluted to reduce weight and treated with a PVD finish for increased durability. The patented polymer fire-control housing keeps everything in its proper place and also aids in reducing weight and felt recoil, while the patented friction-reducing cam design offers a smooth, non-stacking trigger pull from the LCR. Hogue rubber grips with finger grooves provide a steady grasp and reduce perceived recoil.
