Ruger's LCRx is a lightweight, five-shot .357 Magnum revolver with a smooth trigger, manageable recoil, and external hammer for single-action use. Features a monolithic stainless steel frame, fluted cylinder, and Hogue Tamer grip.
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.
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.
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.
The LCRx is purpose-built for shooters who refuse to compromise between portability and performance.
