In the past few years, Ruger has made a bunch of changes and added a lot of interesting items to their extensive stable of weapons. The latest of this new line is the LCR--Light Compact Revolver. http://www.ruger-firearms.com/LCR/
It's a slightly new twist on an old idea. Concealment pistols have always been smaller and lighter then the typical weapons.. The LCR is basically a polymer framed revolver. It's the same concept that HK, Glock, Springfield and S&W have done with their auto-pistols. The revolver weight a little over 13 ounces and hold 5 rounds of .38 Special. It's rated for +P ammo.
For those who are still on the revolver bandwagon for concealed carry, this may be a way to go.
