The Lipsey’s Ruger LCR in .32 H&R Magnum
It is chambered in .32 H&R Magnum, which is compatible with .32 S&W and .32 S&W Long cartridges, offering flexibility in ammunition choices. For those unfamiliar with this round, fear not. The .32 H&R Magnum, also known as the .32 Magnum, is a rimmed cartridge designed for use in revolvers. It was developed and introduced in 1984 as a joint venture between Harrington & Richardson and Federal Premium Ammunition.
The .32 Magnum was designed to more than double the speed and energy of the less powerful .32 Smith & Wesson. Loadings for the .32 H&R Magnum even typically exceed hot .38 Special +P loads in terms of both speed and energy. The .32 Magnum also has a higher maximum pressure than the .38 Special.
Lightweight Fighter
Lipsey’s Ruger LCR in .32 H&R Magnum is a well-built, lightweight gun. It is made with Ruger’s patented friction-reducing cam.

This makes it ideal for concealed carry or extended shooting sessions.

The pistol also has a six-shot cylinder, which offers an extra round compared to most compact revolvers in similar calibers. The gun supports the use of all related speed loaders and holsters. Lipsey’s exclusive Ruger LCR in .32 H&R Magnum caters to a niche market of revolver enthusiasts.
