LCRX 357 magnum with 3 inch barrel .. Finally rolls out

Yep, I've messaged and emailed them, talked face to face with their distributor rep, whatever I could since the 3" .38 LCRx came out, and I just saw this. I've ordered one.

It is interesting how the specs continue to creep on the "lightweight" firearms. The original LCR in .38 weighs in at 13.5 oz and the new .357 3" is 21.3 ounces. That's nearly 1/2 pound!
I own two LCRs in .38, one 3of them in 3", and they are my go to carry and woods guns. Having said that, I also own a S&W model 60 3" in .357. Surprisingly, it only weighs 1.9 ounces more than the new Ruger LCR 3" in .357. Also as someone pointed out, the price keeps creeping up. So now, you can get a Smith mod 60 3" in .357 for a difference of $90 and 1.9 ounces in weight.

Thanks for the tip Marlin.

Way to much $$$

I just bought one from an online vendor for $530 shipped... should be here Monday, I plan on hitting the range and right after sending my cylinder to TK custom to convert to allow me to also fire 9mm in it w moonclips... 3 calibers in one!

I have the 9mm 1.87" barrel LCR... by chance can that cylinder work in my LCRX 3inch 357? From what I understand the frames on the 9mm and 357 are the same. At one point I had a 357mag 1.87" LCRX tk custom 9mm conversion, always regretting selling it. But the 3inch 9mm was what I always wanted...
