About this product

The Ruger LCRx is a compact, lightweight revolver designed for everyday carry and close-range defensive use. Chambered for .38 Special +P, this configuration pairs a 1.87" stainless steel barrel with a five-round cylinder and an external hammer that enables single-action operation. The model includes a Hogue Tamer Monogrip for recoil management and a patented friction-reducing cam and polymer fire-control housing that contribute to a smooth, non-stacking trigger pull.
