9mm LCR and Factory Ammo Jumping Crimp

41 Magnum said:

Not to be rude, but just inquisitive.? Exactly what purpose does it serve to buy a self defense (CCW) revolver in a semi-auto pistol chambering, when the available configurations in revolver cartridge chamberings have the flexibility to equal or exceed the published ballistic specs for the semi-auto ammunition to start with, out of a snub revolver ? What will be accomplished by choosing an Auto cartridge. I really would like to know the logic behind the choice. I just have never really understood that choice. Unless I had access to free 9mm ammo, it just escapes logic to me. I mean .38 Spl., .38+P .38+P+, .357 Mag. loaded up, or down all the spectrum of bullets or propellants !??

Generally what 41 alluded to- someone has 9mm autos, and has the revolver itch. Some people find revos less intimidating, and so want one rather than the "other's" auto. I've used and worked on products from all major manufacturers. My defensive arms are autos, but occasionally, I will drop a 5 shot in my pocket. I worked up mine simply because it would be one of a very few "pretty" guns, and putting it all together was just plain fun.
