Its double-action trigger gives a consistent pull for defensive shots, and the five-round cylinder keeps overall footprint compact without sacrificing stopping power. Ruger’s reputation for durable metallurgy and simple, serviceable internals makes this model notable for long-term reliability.

Integrated Laser Grip

The Crimson Trace laser grip is factory-integrated, providing an always-aligned, instinctive aiming aid. For shooters transitioning from iron sights or for low-light scenarios, the laser enhances target acquisition speed. The grip activation and placement are engineered for natural hand placement so the laser is ready when you present the revolver.
