The LCR-357 (catalog KLCR-357) is built around Ruger's friction-reducing cam for a smooth, non-stacking double-action-only pull. An internal spurless hammer supports the snag-free design, and the left-side push-button cylinder release keeps operation intuitive.
Its modular construction mates a stainless monolithic upper frame with a polymer fire-control housing, balancing strength and weight. The black-oxide finish over the stainless upper frame complements the fluted natural-stainless 5-shot cylinder, while the lower housing remains black polymer for durability and carry comfort.
The 1.87 inch barrel uses six-groove, right-hand rifling with a 1:16 twist. Sighting is straightforward and robust, with a pinned XS white-dot front blade and an integral top-strap rear notch for a clear, fast sight picture.
Chambered in .357 Magnum, this revolver also accepts .38 Special and .38 Special +P. Overall length is approximately 6.5 inches with a height of about 4.5 inches, and weight is a handy 17.1 ounces, making it a compact and capable defensive wheelgun.
Made in the USA, this example is from 2011 and corresponds to Ruger part number 5450. It includes the original Ruger LCR grip and factory packaging, along with an Allen clip-on holster.
