The Ruger LCR is a compact revolver built by Sturm, Ruger & Co. and announced in January 2009. LCR stands for "Lightweight Compact Revolver". It incorporates several novel features such as a polymer grip and trigger housing,[4] monolithic receiver, and constant force trigger. At 13.5 oz (380 g),[5] the LCR is nearly 50% lighter than the stainless steel SP101,[6] as only the barrel and fluted cylinder are made of stainless steel.
