Ruger’s LCR is a lightweight small-frame revolver with a uniquely smooth trigger and highly manageable recoil. It features a monolithic frame with a grip peg allowing for use of a variety of grip styles and an extensively fluted high-strength stainless steel cylinder with a PVD finish for excellent durability. The patented friction-reducing cam is a next generation design in fire control systems resulting in a smooth non-stacking trigger pull. Its patented polymer fire control housing holds the fire control components in their proper dimensional relationships reduces weight significantly and helps reduce recoil. LCR revolvers have a replaceable pinned ramp front sight with white bar. LCRx models feature an external hammer that allows it to be fired in single-action mode. LCRx revolvers in 9mm Luger have a frame made from 400 series stainless steel and include three full moon clips that act as both a speed loader for the 9mm rounds and aid in the ejection of the spent cartridges.
