Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. has introduced a new barrel for its Lightweight Compact Revolver (LCR).
The LCRx is now available with a 3-inch barrel. Chambered in .38 Special +P, the LCRx features an exposed hammer that allows it to be fired in either double-action or single-action mode.

The latest addition to the LCR line maintains all the features of the original LCR, including a uniquely engineered double-action trigger pull and patented Ruger friction-reducing cam fire control system.

The double-action trigger pull force on the LCR builds gradually and peaks later in the trigger stroke, resulting in better control and a trigger pull that feels much lighter than it actually is. The LCRx also incorporates crisp single-action functionality for precise shooting.
The LCRx rear sight is fully adjustable for both windage and elevation, and the full-length Hogue Tamer Grip without finger grooves makes for comfortable shooting.
Chambered in .38 Special +P, the LCR has three main components: a polymer fire control housing, an aerospace grade aluminum monolithic frame and an extensively fluted stainless steel cylinder.

The exposed hammer LCRx is available in .38 Spl +P. All LCR models feature replaceable ramp front sights with white bar and some models feature a laser-sighting system from Crimson Trace.
