LCR with Copper Cylinder???? Any Experience?

Do you have one of the Ruger LCR's with the copper cylinder? I'm not suggesting the cylinder is composed of copper. Just curious if anyone has any experience with the "Copper" finish as it relates to wear and functionality.

If so, what's your thoughts about it?
Does it hold up well?
Any issues?

Please let me know.

Thank you!!!

So far as I know, the cylinder is steel with a copper colored finish. It should be just as durable as the other .38 LCR and LCRx revolvers.

Can not imagine Ruger making a cylinder out of copper! Got to be plated!
BTW Chrome is nice also. ps

copper would not survive the proof test

Thanks everyone so far for your replies. To clarify, I am just referencing the "Copper" cylinder association on the LCR revolver. I'm not suggesting the cylinder is composed of copper. Just curious if anyone has any experience with the "Copper" finish as it relates to wear and functionality. Hope this helps.

No one own one of these??? Curious as to the wear factor.

Looked at one and think it's pretty cool but no experience. I'm pretty stuck on the LC9 for concealment.

It looks to be TiNitride. If so, you'll probably be long gone before the finish wears through, unless you use your revolver as a boat anchor or belay-point.

I have one with the copper cylinder, but haven't owned it long enough to evaluate the durability. I didn't buy it for looks though, but because it was $60 cheaper than the others. I also own an LCRx 3" and I'm very happy with the product line.

I was able to play around with a 3 inch LCRx, but didn't like the sights that much.

Seemed way taller than the rather low profile fixed sights on LCRs that I've owned in the
past.

Since I've always admired the copper cylinder (colored) LCRs.

I was surprised to see a LCRx:

Ruger LCRx Black / Copper Cylinder .38 SPL 1.87-inch 5Rd Double Action Hogue Grips

No idea if I could pull the trigger on one, but they sure are nice looking...
and I could always shoot it single action until the trigger lightens up from
use.

I'm currently trying to improve or actually regain some strength in my hands.

Just ordered one, $339 shipped! Damned good deal.

From where did you order it for $339? That is a good deal.

Wow, thanks. No credit card fees or shipping charges. Thanks.

Been thinking about it, one of the LGSs here has it for about that price.

Yeah but then I have to pay someone $25 bucks to transfer it, so take your pick.
