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:
