![]() ![]() Loading and unloading is straightforward. Through several range trips and a 400-round battery of tests I concluded that the Ruger LCRx has some very strong points. In terms of purpose, the details can only be hashed out on the range. I even believed the pistol, despite weighing in at only 16.9 ounces fully loaded, might make a good target shooting gun at reasonable ranges. But when I first received my LCRx in 22 LR, I thought it was nice to see that same utilitarian design revamped for a more recreational purpose in mind. ![]() ![]() This polymer/aluminum framed “hammerless” revolver is a new sort of classic when it comes to concealed carry. It took me a few years to get over the look of the Lightweight Compact Revolver before finally purchasing one in 2015. This revolver platform will handle anything from weak 22 Short loads to high velocity CCI Stingers all the way to 22 LR rat shot. The LCRx 22 LR holds eight rounds of ammunition. Like the other LCRs, the stainless-steel barrel is a liner enclosed by an aluminum shroud. The pistol has a polymer grip frame surrounded by a rubber Hogue Tamer Grip and an aluminum frame enclosing the cylinder. On the outside, the LCRx’s outline resembles a traditional revolver of an optimal service/carry size. When the Ruger LCRx debuted with a 3-inch barrel in 2015, some thought it a great kit gun in 38 Special, but the rest of us were waiting for a 22 LR version. These are the guns that reside on the hip of the hunter and hiker to ward off the curious coyote or procure small game for the pot. These are the guns that go in the tackle box or the boat for emergencies. Kit guns are those 22 caliber pistols, usually revolvers, that are handier than a pocket pistol but don’t weigh on the belt like a target gun would. Somewhere in the middle of these two broad categories are the “kit” guns. There is a 22 pistol for everyone whether you want a pocket pistol for personal protection or a heavy, match grade handgun. The 22 LR cartridge has been around for a long time and any gun maker worth its salt has at least one pistol chambered in this little round. ![]()
