Ruger LCR

[MemorEsto]

Anyone have any experience with these? Nobody around me have any in stock and Id like to handle it before I buy. I'm looking for a ankle / boot gun when inside the pants isn't an option.

My FIL has one in .357. I've shot it, maybe 50 rounds at 7m, really surprisingly accurate. I was taking my time but even the guy next to my commented on the pattern (after he asked about the caliber due to how loud it was).

It has a very firm trigger pull, and a slight dead spot just before it breaks. I found it to be the most comfortable small revolver I've ever handled.

If you want to check it out do it through PM.

I have some trigger time on them, and if I didn't have a couple j-frame Smiths, I'd buy one. A couple women that I work with bought them as their first handguns and are doing very well with them.

Local shop has one in stock up here.....didn't handle it but it looks small and very easy to conceal.

Just realized they released it in a .22, I need to check it out!

I want the .38. I already have a Walther P22. I'm from corry which is close to Erie

matt,

i never shot one but i handled one at keystone armory last year. they are really comfortable. i could get a proper grip on it comfortably with my sausage fingers. this was going to be my next pistol purchase. i was looking into the .357 though

The g/f has one, easy to conceal but thats the only good thing about them. The trigger pull is horrible and you will be hard pressed to hit a can past 10 yards.
Its def a good gun to train with it will teach you to have a steady pull if not bullets will be going into the dirt right in front of you. Oh and their over priced

[ezman]

i agree they are pricey. but it's a revolver designed to be carried concealed, why do you need to hit anything 10 yards away. if you are in a situation where you need to draw your weapon and fire, the threat should be closer than 10 yards.

90% of deadly encounters occur within 10ft...

I was just at the gunshop on Neville Island, Island Arms???, and he has all of the different models. Keeps them in stock as much as possible as he said they sell better than almost anything else. Hope it helps.~

I've shot my friend's quite a bit, as recently as 2 weeks ago. To be honest I don't care for it much. It is very light I give it that, but not very accurate, and I did not find it comfortable to shoot. Has a good bit of recoil/muzzle creep, and if you shoot +P's through it, it stings your hand after a couple of shots. In particular on cold days, and it is loud as hell (not a pro or con). Trigger is decent after you get used to it I suppose.

I'm not sure if there are better options out there that can match the light weight of the LCR though, so it might be ok for you. I also found it a little on the pricey side.

I wouldn't expect a gun with 1.75" barrel to be that accurate. Like I said, this is just an ankle gun when carrying my 40 or 45 isn't an option.

My S&W BodyGuard .380 is about the same size, and I'm more accurate shooting that than the LCR. It's like a mini 1911. But it is a .380 and not .38 if you are set on a caliber.

matt,

just get it. that way i can shoot it to see if i still want the .357
