When it comes down to it, the humble backup gun can mean the difference between life and death. Although every piece of gear on a cop’s belt is important, this is the one that is, by design, a last-ditch survival tool. As a result, they must be compact and reliable. And the tried-and-true revolver fits this role extremely well. One of the newest options in this category is the Ruger LCRx in .38 Special, offering the light weight and good performance of the LCR series combined with an exposed hammer. Read on to see the top 10 attributes of this handy little weapon.
