What’s Included
- Ruger LCR .38 Special +P revolver
The LCR’s hybrid design pairs an aluminum monolithic upper with a pressed-in stainless barrel liner and a polymer fire-control housing. This construction keeps the revolver compact while maintaining a rigid barrel-to-frame interface. The result is the recognizable two-tone combination of black frame components with a stainless steel cylinder.
Its double-action-only system uses Ruger’s cam-driven, non-stacking trigger, providing a consistent pull throughout the stroke. The internal hammer keeps the profile smooth for carry, and a transfer bar safety is integrated into the design.
The stainless cylinder is deeply fluted and cut for five rounds of .38 Special, with the revolver rated for +P ammunition. Barrel length is 1.875 inches, matching the micro-size format that emphasizes easy concealment and quick handling.
Fixed sights include a pinned, serrated ramp front and a rear topstrap trench. The factory textured black rubber grips with finger grooves seat on Ruger’s peg-style grip interface, allowing straightforward grip changes if desired.
Made in Newport, New Hampshire, this 2012 example sits within the LCR series that debuted in 2009, and it presents the model’s hallmark blend of modern materials, snag-free lines, and practical defensive features.
