Ruger's Lightweight Carry Revolver (LCR) series was launched in January 2009 with a five-shot .38 Spl. rated for +P ammunition. In June 2010, a .357 Mag. version was added, followed by an eight-shot .22 Long Rifle version in 2011. For 2013, Ruger unveiled the LCR-22MAG, a six-shot revolver chambered for .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR) ammunition.

Watch this American Rifleman TV "Rifleman Review" of the LCR in this chambering. For more on the LCR, please enjoy the following articles:

Standing Guard | Standing on the Line for Freedom

This past August marks 46 years since I raised my right hand and was commissioned as an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps. In the summer of 1980, I entered active duty with a firm sense of civic duty and a deep desire to serve our great nation. Like so many who wear the uniform, I was ready to contribute directly to the defense of freedom.
