LCRX...Got it

I went to my local dealer to get my name on the list for the new LCRX and he stunned me by saying he just got 5 of them in a day or so ago. So, needless to say, I bought it right on the spot, so they're finally arriving at your LGS.

Put 20 rounds through my LCRx today and all impacted the 9 inch paper plate from 7 yards. Two rounds hit the edges of the plate and the remainder were all on the plates flat surface. DA trigger is great, but still a little stiff as compared to my LCR. Single action is great. After registering the LCRx with Ruger I did use the 20% discount to order a front night sight from the Ruger store. Have one that came with my LCR and they are a definite plus for this revolver.

Again-

I would gladly post a photo if I new how. I have pictures on my computer but don't know how to get them to show up here. I've done it before but my age and ignorance is showing up more and more these days.

LGS had one yesterday. I did not examine it.

Good one Camper.

I never understood the herd mentality of asking for photos.

Now we need to tell the CEO we need an 22 L.R. x.

>>I never understood the herd mentality of asking for photos.<<

Right, especially if it's an "off the shelf" item. It's like "if you've seen one you've seen 'em all"!

Camper, can you tell us more about the DA trigger on the LCRx? Is it the same as the normal LCR or did you find it to be heavier, grittier, does it stack etc?

Thanks

Awe, come on folks, this post wouldn't be half as exciting without the picture of the gun. Besides, some skeptical person may not actually believe it happened without the picture. Sorry, don't mean to take sides but the photo did add a little more than "look at the website if you want to see it". LOL.

Take into consideration that I'm not a gunsmith, but can provide the following:
The DAO on the LCRx is the same as the LCR when I dry fire each.
The trigger pull in DAO is about the same as on my LCR or maybe just a tad bit heavier, but not noticeable and should lessen over time/use.
No grittiness noted in the trigger.
It stacks the same as my LCR.
The single action cocking mode is smooth and easier than that of an S&W 637 snubbie IMHO.

My question (I'm sure Ruger already knows what it is) but when is the 357 Mag coming out in the X. And the 22, and the 22 Mag, and the 44 special (oops)

Do the sights seem to line up with the point of impact pretty well? What kind of ammo are you using?

Yes, 140 grain wad cutters.

Hmm, do you aim with the top of the front sight level with the top of the rear? I really like 140 grain bullets but it seems that few fixed sight revolvers shoot to point of aim with them.

Glad to see the post about this. Thanks to all. With 20 or so of them on GunBroker already and at discounted prices, they sure got these into the pipeline in a hurry!

As I recall, the front sight was centered with the rear sight in a normal sight picture with the front maybe up a bit. Remember, this was 7 and not 25 yards.

My S&W revolvers are dead on with 158 grain slugs, anything less will be way low. My Service Six seems to do the same with 140 and 158 grain .
