Ruger LCR 357 Mag 1.87" 5rd Revolver

The Ruger LCR changed what a small carry revolver could be, and this version is built for 357 Magnum. For the magnum models Ruger makes the monolithic frame from stainless steel rather than aluminum, and the fire control parts live in a polymer housing that holds them in alignment, saves weight and helps soak up recoil. The stainless cylinder is deeply fluted and finished in black PVD, and the concealed hammer will not snag on clothing on the draw.

Ruger's friction reducing cam gives the double action only trigger a smooth pull that does not stack at the end, which makes the LCR easier to shoot well than most snub revolvers. The included Hogue Tamer Monogrip cushions the hand, and that matters with full power 357 loads in a 17.1 oz gun. It also fires 38 Special for practice. The 1.87" barrel carries a replaceable pinned ramp front sight with a white bar and an integral U notch rear. With five rounds on board it is an easy pocket or IWB carry and a capable backup for the nightstand.
