The Ruger LCRX .357 Magnum is a purpose-built compact revolver, specifically engineered to provide robust defensive capability in a discreet package. This model integrates a proven design with materials selected for durability and performance under strenuous conditions.
Key Features
Optimized Frame and Construction
The LCRX .357 Magnum features a monolithic stainless steel frame, a critical design choice that ensures structural integrity and mitigates felt recoil when discharging high-pressure .357 Magnum cartridges. This robust construction provides the requisite strength for consistent reliability and prolonged service life, essential for a primary or secondary defensive firearm.
Integrated Fire Control and Trigger System
Equipped with an external hammer, the LCRX offers both traditional double-action (DA) and single-action (SA) firing modes. The DA pull is engineered for smoothness and consistency, facilitating rapid follow-up shots under stress. The SA option provides a crisp, predictable break, optimizing precision for deliberate engagements.
Enhanced Ergonomics
This revolver is fitted with a Hogue Tamer Monogrip, designed to maximize control and significantly reduce the impact of recoil. The grip’s geometry and material composition work in concert to distribute recoil energy effectively across the hand, enabling faster target reacquisition and improved shooter comfort during extended practice sessions.
Caliber and Capacity
Chambered in .357 Magnum, this 5-round capacity revolver delivers substantial terminal ballistics suitable for personal defense. The .357 Magnum cartridge provides a significant energy transfer advantage, and the LCRX platform is dimensionally optimized to maintain a compact profile without compromising the cartridge’s full potential.
Sighting System
The LCRX features a fixed U-notch rear sight integral to the frame and a pinned ramp front sight. This configuration is durable, resistant to snagging, and provides a clear sight picture for rapid target acquisition in typical defensive scenarios.
