I stopped by a Cabela's in KY on the way home from Florida yesterday and found a used LCR that had a copper colored cylinder which I had not seen before. It had a 1541 prefix serial number. It had no box to get a model #. Has anyone heard of these or seen any other different colored models. They said that they checked and it was shipped that way from Ruger.

saw one last weekend at a LGS that was running a two day Ruger sale. Had a Ruger Rep there, Brady Dinsmore, had some good conversation with him.Sorry, didn't pay that much attention to the LCR. Coogs.

Ruger made these for one of their retailer programs...might have been the 2016 winter retailer program (don't have my notes in front of me at the moment). There were two different models, one with hammer and one hammerless.

The one I saw was hammerless and was in 38 special +P. That is why I find it fun checking out gun store and shows. You just never know what you will find.

I am not collecting these but wanted to make anyone that was considering collecting the LCR aware of something new. It is always easier to keep up with new models when they are first issued instead of trying to find them n the aftermarket I have found.
