Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Ruger LCRx a double-action/single-action (DA/SA) revolver?

The Ruger LCRx is a DA/SA revolver because it features an external hammer. This allows the user to manually cock the hammer for a lighter, single-action trigger pull, or to pull the trigger directly for a heavier, double-action pull.

Why was the speaker tempted to buy the Ruger LCRx despite having other firearm acquisition plans?

The speaker was tempted by the Ruger LCRx because it significantly exceeded his expectations in terms of quality and appeal. He humorously wished it would 'suck' to avoid the temptation, especially after having already spent his budget on a different firearm.

What is the significance of the 'X' in the Ruger LCRx model name?

While not officially confirmed, the speaker speculates that the 'X' in Ruger LCRx might stand for something implying coolness or uniqueness, humorously suggesting 'Xena Warrior Princess' or 'Xanadu' as possibilities, rather than a technical designation.
