The LCR design combines a polymer fire-control housing with an aluminum monolithic frame and a deeply fluted stainless steel cylinder. This hybrid approach keeps weight to 13.5 oz while retaining a rigid, durable structure. The frame wears a matte black finish, and the cylinder is matte gray.
Its double-action-only system incorporates a friction-reducing cam engineered for a non-stacking trigger pull. The enclosed hammer supports this DAO configuration and maintains the revolver's streamlined profile.
Sights are fixed, with a user-replaceable pinned serrated ramp front sight and an integral trough-style rear. The barrel measures 1.87 inches, providing a compact format without complicating the sight picture.
Chambered in .38 Special +P, this LCR holds five rounds in its stainless cylinder. Overall length is 6.50 inches, height is 4.50 inches, and it ships with black one-piece textured rubber grips with a single finger groove. This example is the Ruger catalog number 5401.
