RUGER LCRX - 357 MAG - 1.875" - 5 RD
The Ruger LCRX in .357 Magnum is a compact, capable revolver that brings serious stopping power to a lightweight, carry-friendly package — purpose-built for concealed carry, backup duty, and home defense.
- 400 series stainless steel frame handles full-power .357 Magnum loads with confidence
- 1.875" barrel keeps the profile compact without sacrificing too much velocity
- External hammer enables both single-action and double-action shooting modes
- Patented friction-reducing cam delivers a smooth, non-stacking double-action trigger pull
- Extensively fluted stainless steel cylinder with PVD finish reduces weight and resists wear
- Polymer fire control housing lowers overall weight and helps absorb felt recoil
Who This Is For
The Ruger LCRX .357 Magnum is ideal for experienced concealed carriers who want maximum power in a snub-nose revolver, as well as outdoorsmen seeking a reliable trail gun. Its external hammer also makes it a great choice for shooters who prefer the option of precision single-action fire. Because it chambers .357 Magnum, it can also fire .38 Special and .38 Special +P ammunition, giving you versatile ammo selection for practice or self-defense.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Ruger LCRX .357 Magnum fire .38 Special ammunition?
Yes. Because .38 Special cartridges are dimensionally compatible with .357 Magnum cylinders, the LCRX will safely chamber and fire both .38 Special and .38 Special +P loads. This makes it easy and affordable to practice at the range with milder .38 Spl rounds while carrying full-power .357 Magnum loads for self-defense.
Is the external hammer on the LCRX snag-prone for concealed carry?
Ruger designed the LCRX's external hammer to be low-profile, minimizing the risk of snagging on clothing or a holster during a draw. While a fully shrouded hammer (as found on the LCR) is even more snag-resistant, most users find the LCRX's hammer poses little issue with an inside-the-waistband or pocket holster — and the single-action capability it enables is a genuine tactical advantage in a deliberate, aimed-fire scenario.
What holsters are compatible with the Ruger LCRX 1.875" .357?
The LCRX shares its overall dimensions with the standard LCR platform, so holsters specifically made for the Ruger LCR/LCRX with a 1.875" barrel will typically fit. Popular options include IWB Kydex holsters, pocket holsters, and ankle holsters from brands like Galco, Bianchi, DeSantis, and Alien Gear. Always verify fitment with the manufacturer, specifying the LCRX with external hammer, as some LCR-specific holsters are cut for the shrouded-hammer variant.
