Ruger LCR [HD] Cleaning & Features
The Ruger LCR, or Lightweight Compact Revolver, is one of the most popular concealed carry guns on the market, mainly due to its extremely light weight. The LCR can be chambered in .38 Special, .357 Magnum, .22 Long Rifle (.22 LR) and .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (.22 WMR).
The LCR is a hammerless revolver, but there is an option with a hammer called the LCRx. The upper cylinder frame and barrel assembly are made from 7000 series aluminum, and except for the cylinder, everything is covered in polymer. This reduces the weight even more.
Despite the light weight, recoil is fairly well managed due to the extremely comfortable Hogue grips. This pistol is also virtually rust-proof.
This is definitely a pistol to consider for concealed carry or even home defense. Watch the full cleaning and review below!

I've been with Urban Carry Holsters since 2020, proudly serving as the Firearms Expert. Before that, I served 8 years in the United States Marine Corps, including a deployment to Iraq from 2009 to 2010. During my time in the Infantry as a Sergeant, I developed a deep interest in the wide range of firearms we used. It fascinated me to learn why specific weapons were chosen for different missions and roles.Breaking into the firearms industry wasn't easy, but persistence paid off. While attending a trade show, I discovered the Sonoran Desert Institute. That opportunity led me to earn an Associate of Science in Firearms Technology, along with certifications as a Pistol Expert and Range Safety Officer.My passion for firearms continues to grow every day. I'm always learning, always improving, and always striving to bring that knowledge and experience to the work we do here at Urban Carry.
