The Ruger LCRx 22 WMR delivers rimfire performance in a lightweight, reliable platform built for extended shooting sessions. This double-action revolver combines the proven LCR design with an exposed hammer for single-action capability, offering shooters enhanced accuracy potential over standard double-action-only models.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional steel-frame revolvers, the LCRx features a 7000-series aluminum frame that reduces overall weight by approximately 30% while maintaining structural integrity. The PVD-finished cylinder provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing, extending service life in harsh conditions. The exposed hammer design allows for precise single-action shooting while retaining the reliability of double-action operation for rapid follow-up shots.
