K22,
I just ask.

Dunno what the thought process is on the barrel length, but I personally think a 6-incher would be heavy & ungainly with all that extra metal in the barrel, even without the usual lug.

If I were to get one it would be used for hunting and I wouldn't mind a little more muzzle weight. It helps to steady the shot.

Yep, I had an S&W 617 6" with the full lug barrel and even as a K-frame it was very heavy, actually an oz or two heavier than my 6" full lug 686 L-frame.

Too bad they are out of business. The owner invented the zip gun and moved to Montana.

I knew you'd come around sooner or later. :wink:

 

[GP100man]

The cyl is 10 shot & shaped like the cyls on the LCRs.

 

[DPris]

Hip,
The USFA comment was directed at the most USFA-lovin' guy I know on any forum.
And...he got it.

[jimd441]

Yes, 5 inch will do just fine.

[robotoid]

The older compact size?
Just your imagination.
Denis

too cryptic, is this a yes or no?

 

[DPris]

Cryptically, two men at Ruger are responsible for bringing back the older compact rubber/wood grips.

You can thank Mark Gurney & Kurt Hindle for them.

Other'n that, I know nothing....

I just watched that episode this morning and it was a 6" barrel and was noted as such. I hope they do decide to go with the 5" but want one either way. When he opened up that cylinder with 10 little holes I started slobbering.

Also glad they went back to the original grip. I like the Hogue grips as well but like the wood grips for adding custom inserts. Thanks to Mark & Kurt

Not true. Its the voice of the customer!!!!!!!!!!

[DPris]

Yebbit- those were the two guys who LISTENED to the voice of the customer!

They deserve the credit.

For some reason I am picturing this guy when you say that...

 

[DPris]

Rum,
On 9-30-2014, someone may possibly have gotten an email from the Ruger guy over-seeing current revolver projects, stating it's a 5-inch barrel.

What you see on pre-pro guns on TV is not necessarily what the final production version will be.

But again- I dunno nothing.

Not real excited by the LCR cylinder. Hope the production model has a regular GP looking cylinder.

 

[dingode]

Just get it to the market and take my money already!!! :lol: Would like a normal cyl. though.
