Description

The LCRx takes everything people like about Ruger's LCR and adds the one thing a lot of revolver folks missed: an external hammer. That means you can run it double action from the holster or thumb the hammer back for a light, crisp single-action break when you have time to make a careful shot. At 13.5 ounces unloaded and just 6.5 inches long, it disappears in a pocket holster or on the belt, and the fluted 5-round cylinder keeps the width slim where it matters.

What Makes the LCRx Different From Other Snubs

Ruger built this thing smart. The monolithic frame is machined from aerospace-grade 7000 series aluminum, the stainless steel cylinder wears a durable PVD finish, and the polymer fire control housing trims weight while keeping all the internals lined up right. The real star is the trigger. Ruger's patented friction-reducing cam gives the LCRx a smooth, non-stacking double-action pull that puts most small-frame revolvers to shame, and it's a big part of why the LCR family has such a loyal following.

Shooting the Ruger LCRx .38 Special +P

Lightweight snubs have a reputation for being punishing, but the Hogue Tamer Monogrip earns its name. A cushioned insert sits right where the web of your hand meets the backstrap, soaking up recoil so range sessions with standard pressure loads stay pleasant and +P defensive ammo stays manageable. The pinned ramp front sight is replaceable, so you can swap in a high-visibility option down the road, and the U-notch rear is machined into the frame where it can't snag or get knocked out of place. A transfer bar safety means it's safe to carry with all five chambers loaded.

With .38 Special ammo available everywhere in everything from soft-shooting wadcutters to serious +P hollow points, the LCRx is easy to feed, easy to carry, and simple enough to hand to a newer shooter without a lengthy tutorial. It's one of the best all-around picks in the lightweight carry revolver category, and it's made in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Ruger LCRx handle +P ammunition?

Yes, this model is rated for .38 Special +P, so you can carry modern +P defensive loads with confidence. Many owners practice with standard pressure ammo to keep range time comfortable, then load +P hollow points for carry. The Hogue Tamer grip does a good job taking the sting out of the hotter stuff.

What's the difference between the LCRx and the standard LCR?

The LCRx adds an external hammer, so you can fire it in single action as well as double action. The standard LCR is double-action-only with a fully enclosed hammer. If you like the option of cocking the hammer for a lighter, shorter trigger pull, the LCRx is the one to get.

Is the Ruger LCRx a good choice for concealed carry?

It's one of the most popular lightweight carry revolvers on the market for good reason. At 13.5 ounces and 6.5 inches overall with a slim fluted cylinder, it works well in a pocket holster, on the belt, or in a bag. The smooth trigger and transfer bar safety make it a solid pick for both experienced revolver fans and first-time carriers.

Can you change the front sight on this LCRx?

Yes, the front sight is a pinned ramp design that's replaceable. That means you can upgrade to a high-visibility or fiber optic style front sight later if you want something easier to pick up quickly. The rear U-notch is machined into the frame, so it's rugged and snag-free.
