The LCR-22 pairs a micro-size footprint with an 8-shot cylinder, delivering economical .22 LR shooting in a compact package. Its double-action-only system uses Ruger's friction-reducing cam, known for a smooth, consistent trigger pull. The enclosed hammer streamlines the profile for snag-free carry.
Construction centers on a 7000-series aluminum monolithic frame with a glass-filled polymer fire-control housing, keeping weight to 14.9 oz while maintaining rigidity. The stainless steel cylinder wears a durable PVD finish, and the deeply fluted design with stop notches lightens the rotating mass. A shrouded ejector rod protects the mechanism.
Sights are fixed iron: a replaceable pinned ramp front with a serrated face and a fixed U-notch milled into the topstrap at the rear. This simple, robust setup is well matched to the revolver's intended role and size.
Key dimensions underscore the compact format: overall length 6.50 in, height 4.50 in, and width 1.28 in. The LCR-22 variant was introduced in December 2011; this example dates to 2013 and includes documentation noted above.
