The Ruger LCR in black is a lightweight, compact revolver chambered for .38 Special +P with a 1.87″ barrel and 5-round capacity. It pairs an aerospace-grade 7000-series aluminum monolithic frame with a fluted stainless steel cylinder finished in PVD for durability and reduced weight. Fitted with a Hogue Tamer Monogrip and a bright fiber-optic front sight, its built for comfortable concealed carry and controllable defensive performance.
Engineered for smooth, consistent operation, the LCR uses Ruger’s patented friction-reducing cam and a polymer fire-control housing to deliver a non-stacking trigger pull and stable internal geometry while cutting weight and felt recoil. The extensively fluted, high-strength stainless steel cylinder (PVD finish) reduces rotating mass and increases corrosion resistance, improving handling and longevity for everyday carry use.
Ergonomics and customization are front-and-center: the Hogue Tamer Monogrip reduces perceived recoil and muzzle flip, and the grip peg accepts a variety of aftermarket grip styles for personalized feel. Night-friendly aiming is provided by the fiber-optic front sight paired with an integral U-notch rear; the overall package balances concealability, shootability, and durability for defensive shooters.
