This Ruger LCRx is a revolver that offers the same features of the original LCR but also employs an external hammer. This allows for both single- and double-action use, while the swept-back hammer design reduces the risk of snagging on clothing or other items when drawn from a concealed carry position. Even with the addition of the external hammer, the name - Lightweight Compact Revolver - still rings true, thanks to a number of thoughtful features. The aerospace-grade aluminum frame helps to keep the revolver lightweight, as does the fluted cylinder, which is made from high-strength steel. Hogue rubber grips with finger grooves provide a secure grasp and also help to reduce perceived recoil. This American-made revolver is chambered in 38 Special.
