The LCR-22 uses Ruger's double-action-only system with a friction-reducing cam that delivers a smooth, consistent trigger stroke. The internal (concealed) hammer maintains a streamlined profile and supports the DAO operation.
Its construction pairs a metal monolithic upper frame with a polymer fire-control housing for durability and strength. The blackened, heavily fluted steel cylinder reduces bulk while maintaining rigidity, and the overall finish is matte black.
Target acquisition is straightforward with the pinned green fiber-optic front sight and integral rear channel. The pinned design makes the front sight user-replaceable if desired.
Chambered in .22 LR, the LCR-22 holds 8 rounds and uses a 1.87 inch barrel. The black synthetic one-piece grip features finger grooves and pebbling for a secure hold. This example is from 2012 and carries Ruger part number 05410, made in the United States.
