Ruger .357 Magnum model LCR Revolver 5 Shot 2 inch Snub Polymer & Steel Ion Bond Diamondblack® Internal Lock 12# DAO Trigger Centennial Type 360 or Model MP340 Competitor 357 Mag .38 Special Interchangeably

Ruger exercised innovation and leadership in the 1980s with the introduction of the first 5 shot .357 Magnum, but all of us couldn't help but notice the weight of the SP-101. In 2009, with its LCR Revolver initially chambered only in .38 Special, Ruger became the first producer of a polymer frame wheel gun. 2010 saw Ruger’s introduction of its LCR in .357. Photos show the first specimens we received of Ruger’s LCR chambered in the highly effective .357 Remington Magnum caliber. Shoppers need to be prepared for a stiff double action trigger pull. At only 17.1 ounces empty, the LCR357 is within striking distance of arch-competitor Smith & Wesson’s MP340 series, and 1 ounce more than a standard Smith & Wesson Airweight .38. The pressure-bearing surfaces are alloy, and the entire piece follows Charter in being a two-component frame, with pronounced visible separation lines. The cylinder is Ion Bond Diamondblack® finished 400 series stainless steel. Here is what Ruger says about their latest invention. The Ruger Lightweight Compact Revolver (LCR), a 17 ounce, small frame revolver with a smooth, easy-to-control trigger is packed with the latest technological advances and features required by today's most demanding shooters. Some of these features are Hogue Tamer grips, replaceable, pinned ramp front sights, and U-Notch Integral, rear sights. Specs are Double Action Only Five Shot Revolver with internal hammer and transfer bar internal safety mechanism; caliber .38 Special and .357 Magnum ammunition no matter how hard their primers. Even if the Russians at Tula begin loading steel case .38 Special ammunition, the Ruger will fire it. Barrel length 1.875 inches, nominally 2 inch. The LCR has Ruger’s internal lock whose operation requires removal of the Hogue Tamer grip, and accesses in the SP type LCR’s grip frame stub. Trigger is .310 smooth face combat type. Trigger pull is smooth and consistent, 9 pound vicinity by our estimate. Replacement pricing on this revolver is $600 or more in our area, if a person can even find one.
