Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger 5456 for sale
Is the Ruger LCR 9mm any good?
Ruger's 9mm LCR is a reliable, concealable double-action revolver that retails around $650. It handles factory ammunition well but requires moon clips for feeding. Avoid reloaded ammunition due to bullet-pull risk. Most reviewers rate it favorably for concealed carry, though the 5-round capacity is a limitation.
What are some common problems with the Ruger LCR?
Early LCR models occasionally experienced cylinder lockup issues, which Ruger addressed through spring modifications. Some owners report frame wear from sustained recoil. The double-action-only trigger requires adjustment for some shooters. Overall reliability is generally strong, and Ruger's warranty service is responsive to defects.
Why are Ruger LCR so expensive?
Ruger LCR revolvers cost around $500-$650 due to their polymer/aluminum/steel hybrid construction, which requires precise manufacturing. This actually positions them below some S&W J-frame models like the 642, though above options like the M&P Bodyguard. Pricing reflects material quality, engineering, and demand for reliable compact carry revolvers.
How long will a Ruger LCR last?
Ruger LCR revolvers typically last decades with proper care using standard loads. The LCR is not designed for heavy +P use — occasional firing with low-pressure loads supports long service life, but sustained +P use goes beyond what the design was built to handle. Routine maintenance remains essential.
