The Ruger LCR is a compact revolver built by Sturm, Ruger & Co. and announced in January 2009. LCR stands for "Lightweight Compact Revolver". It incorporates several novel features such as a polymer grip and trigger housing, monolithic receiver, and constant force trigger.
Monolithic frame is made from aerospace-grade, 7000-series aluminum.
Patented friction-reducing cam is a next generation design in fire control systems that results in a smooth, non-stacking trigger pull.
Patented polymer fire control housing holds all the fire control components in their proper dimensional relationships, reduces weight significantly and helps reduce recoil.
High-strength stainless steel cylinder, featuring a PVD finish for excellent durability, is extensively fluted, reducing weight.
Hogue® Tamer Monogrip® reduces perceived recoil.
Grip peg allows for a variety of grip styles to be installed.
Replaceable, pinned ramp front sight with white bar.
