Ruger Lcr Feature

The Ruger LCR is an affordable revolver specifically designed for concealed carry.  This revolver is built with a 1.87 inch barrel topped with non-adjustable sights that include a fixed front blade and a rear sight notch that is molded into the frame.  This revolver fires from a double-action trigger pull and has an internal hammer underneath the polymer overmold.
Ruger Lcr Feature

Ruger Lcr Ergonomics

The LCR has very typical controls for a revolver and has a Hogue style grip that is just large enough to accommodate the ring and middle finger of the user.  The trigger pull is rather long and heavy but the pull is butter-smooth.  This was a design choice as the gun has no external safety to improve its usefulness as a defensive-carry revolver.
Ruger Lcr Ergonomics

Ruger Lcr Concealability

The Ruger LCR measures 6.5 inches long and 4.5 inches tall making it one of the smallest revolvers available that is chambered in a practical caliber for self defense.  With the right holster and some slightly-loose attire, this gun can easily be tucked away out of sight.  The rounded design of the gun has two main benefits in that it improves comfort while carrying and it also prevents clothing and other stuff from getting it in the way when you draw.
Ruger Lcr Concealability

Ruger Lcr Fit-N-Finish

The LCR takes a very liberal approach with its construction where its frame and barrel are completely surrounded in polymer.  This plastic is hardly structural, though, and is mainly for the purposes of reducing weight and improving its practicality for concealment.
