The LCRx configuration adds an external hammer for both single-action and double-action use. Its friction-reducing cam system is designed to deliver a smooth, consistent trigger pull. The compact 1.87 in barrel, five-shot extensively fluted cylinder, and 13.5 oz unloaded weight provide a trim profile with practical carry dimensions of 6.50 in overall length and 4.50 in height.
Construction emphasizes strength-to-weight efficiency. A 7000-series aluminum monolithic upper frame mates to a polymer fire-control housing, while the stainless-steel cylinder wears a matte black PVD finish. The left-side push-button cylinder release supports quick, intuitive operation.
Sight configuration is straightforward and durable: a replaceable pinned ramp front sight paired with an integral U-notch rear. Aftermarket Pachmayr Diamond Pro–style rubber grips with the circular P/70 Pachmayr anniversary medallions and diamond-texture pattern provide a secure hold without adding bulk.
