The Ruger LCR Double Action Revolver is a slam dunk concealed carry winner with its ultra-short 1 7/8 inch barrel, narrow profile and concealed hammer.

Too big for concealed carry but not too big for open carry states, where it will be the toast of the town. The lines of the GP100 harken back ever-so-slightly to the classic Colt revolvers of the 19th century.īut with it’s cushioned grip, minimal recoil and fluid operation it is a true 21st century wheel gun.
