Ruger LCRx .357 Magnum 1.87" Revolver

Ruger LCRx .357 Magnum Revolver

The Ruger LCRx represents a refined approach to compact revolver design, combining lightweight construction with genuine shootability. At just 17.1 ounces, this five-shot .357 Magnum revolver delivers serious defensive capability in a package that won't fatigue your hand or waistband.

Design Philosophy

Ruger engineered the LCRx around a monolithic 400-series stainless steel frame that serves as the structural foundation for all other components. This unified design eliminates the traditional side plate, reducing potential failure points and enhancing overall durability. The extensively fluted, high-strength stainless steel cylinder features a PVD finish that resists corrosion while reducing rotational weight.

Trigger and Fire Control

The heart of the LCRx is its patented friction-reducing cam system—a next-generation fire control design that delivers a smooth, non-stacking trigger pull without the creep and staging that plagues many small revolvers. The polymer fire control housing holds all components in precise dimensional relationships, reduces overall weight, and helps manage recoil impulse. The result is a trigger that rewards good technique and builds shooter confidence.
