The Ruger LCR is a compact .38 Special caliber revolver built by Ruger and announced in January 2009. The LCR acronym stands for 'Lightweight Compact Revolver'.

At Template:Oz to g[1], the LCR is nearly 50% lighter than the stainless steel SP-101.[2] The LCR opperates in Double Action Only as the hammer is concealed within the frame of the gun and cannot be cocked prior to firing.
