This LCR variant is a limited, distributor-exclusive configuration featuring a copper-tone PVD finish on its stainless steel cylinder. The combination of the copper cylinder and matte black anodized frame gives this revolver a distinctive, factory-original appearance backed by Ruger's catalog code LCR-RGGYL.
The revolver uses a monolithic 7000-series aluminum alloy frame with a polymer fire-control housing for reduced weight and durability. The stainless steel barrel liner is housed within a shrouded barrel assembly, and the internal (enclosed) hammer supports the DAO mechanism.
Ruger's friction-reducing cam and smooth-faced trigger deliver a consistent DAO pull. The one-piece black rubber grip includes finger grooves and textured panels for a secure, comfortable hold.
Key dimensions include a 1.87 in barrel, 6.50 in overall length, and approximately 13.5 oz weight. Capacity is 5 rounds of .38 Special +P. Sighting is straightforward with a replaceable pinned ramp front and a fixed U-notch rear integral to the top strap.
