The LCR’s construction combines a monolithic aluminum upper frame with a polymer fire-control housing that carries the Ruger phoenix logo molded on both sides. A stainless steel barrel sleeve is fitted within the upper frame, providing durability while maintaining the LCR’s compact form.
The double-action-only system uses an internal (enclosed) hammer to deliver a snag-free profile. Ruger’s friction-reducing cam produces a smooth, non-stacking pull that is consistent shot to shot. The cylinder release is positioned on the left side behind the cylinder for intuitive operation.
The five-shot stainless steel cylinder is deeply fluted and finished in black. Sighting is straightforward and robust, with a fixed rear trench and a pinned front blade that is replaceable.
Chambered in .38 Special +P, this micro-size LCR pairs a 2 inch barrel with black textured rubber grips featuring finger grooves for secure purchase. This example was manufactured in 2012 in the USA.
