The LCR's double-action-only system uses Ruger's friction-reducing cam to deliver a consistent, smooth trigger pull. A concealed hammer supports snag-free operation, while the push-button cylinder release and unshrouded ejector rod keep manipulation straightforward.
Construction balances strength and weight: a 7000-series aluminum frame and polymer fire-control housing pair with a sleeved stainless steel barrel. The deeply fluted stainless cylinder wears a black PVD finish, and the overall matte black presentation keeps glare to a minimum.
Carry-friendly dimensions include a 1.875 in barrel, 6.50 in overall length, 4.50 in height, and 1.283 in width. Capacity is 5 rounds of .38 Special +P, with an approximate weight of 13.5 oz.
Controls and sights are practical and serviceable: a pinned, serrated ramp front sight (replaceable) teams with an integral U-notch rear. The Hogue Tamer Monogrip aids recoil control and comfort.
Performance details include six-groove rifling with a 1:16 RH twist. This LCR was manufactured in the USA at Ruger's Newport, NH facility and corresponds to mfg part number 5401.
