  • Thoughts on Ruger LCR?

    Anyone own one? Any known problems? I'm guessing it should have typically Ruger quality (very good) but thought I'd throw the question out there anyway.

    I had one and really liked it. Trigger was good, very easy to shoot. Sold to standardize on 9mm though

    You can usually find them used for 325-350

      Not bad. My mom has one and I have shot it quite a bit. Very light bit they do kick quite a bit since it is part polymer. No issues so far.
      I don't like Republicans, but I really FUCKING hate Democrats.

        I have one, carry it every day, and love it. Its not great to shoot, but then again its a snub nose revolver. It goes bang every time, and doesnt weigh a ton, what more could one want?

            Thanks guys. Anyone carry/shot the .357 Magnum version? Thinking about buying and paying a little extra for the .357 version.

            I know the .38 Special kicks hard enough and the .357 Magnum version will be that much worse but is it worth it? Are there any advantages ballistics wise to warrant the .357 version?

              Ballistically, the .357 blows the .38spl out of the water. If you can stand the recoil, muzzle blast and flash, I say go for the .357. You can train with .38's, and keep .357 loaded for SD...

                mine is .357. It will shoot either .357 or .38. I would recommend it.

                  Even in short barrels .357 does have an advantage in velocity over .38, unlike .44 spec vs. .44 mag.

                    I carry the .38 version and contemplated the .357. I chose to save the ounces and go with the lightest version possible since it would be used for pocket carry. With +p rounds you are all over 9mm performance which is good enough, and I will take the quicker followup shots.

                      Thanks for the info. I think I like the idea of having the option to shoot .357's even though it would probably make me shit my pants.

                      I figured the extra ounces might help a little more with the recoil when firing hot .38 loads. Gonna see what the price difference between the two are and also compare it to a small barrel SP101.

                        I have a short barrel SP101 (that I've mentioned a million times) and even with VERY hot .357 my 50 yo mother in law shoots it fine.

                          No.

                            I have the LCR .357 and it's not that much more than +p 38's. Now I'm not going to put more than 10 to 15 rounds at a time at the range, but I do like having the option of shooting 38's. Love the trigger and weight on the LCR's.

                              "unlike .44 spec vs. .44 mag."
                              I understand the .38 vs .357. Can you expand a bit on the .44 special vs mag?

                              Thx,
