The LCRx design used here features an exposed hammer for double-action/single-action operation, giving the shooter the option of either mode. Ruger’s friction-reducing cam contributes to a smooth, consistent trigger pull, and a transfer bar provides the listed safety feature.
The frame is a lightweight, monolithic 7000-series aluminum unit mated to a polymer fire-control housing, while the 5-shot, extensively fluted stainless-steel cylinder receives a durable black PVD finish. The overall finish is matte black for a low-glare appearance.
Sight configuration is straightforward and rugged: a replaceable pinned ramp front sight and a fixed, integral U-notch rear. The short 1.875 in barrel uses a 1:16 RH twist suited to .38 Special projectiles.
This revolver is chambered for .38 Special +P and holds five rounds. It was manufactured in the USA in 2022 under Ruger part number 5430 and is fitted with Crimson Trace lasergrips, with the corresponding user guide included.
