Smorin2, Poncho53, and Mike7mm08,
Thank you all for taking the time to read my posting and responding.
Where do I begin. Maybe with and OMG!!! So, now we just found two more LCR's that were defective from the factory. The only question I have is a simple one.
Why is Ruger not being more proactive with contacting their customers with these safety concerns?
I don't know which safety concern is more serious. A revolver that when its cylinder is not properly locked-up it's trigger can still be pulled and the hammer will fall on a "potentially" misaligned chamber or that the gun's back strap actually starts to melt away within 40 rounds fired of 38+P factory ammunition?
All Ruger LCR owners please be careful and check the two spots noted in this string.
Mike7mm08, thank you so much for the information on the XD-S. By the end of the year I'm going to buy something and I think it will be either the XD-S or the new Charter Arm Bulldog/Pitbull in 45 acp. The new Charter Arms should be out soon. It's going to be a five shot snub nose revolver (I like revolver) in 45 acp wherein you don't have to use moon clips. The information I acquired so far on the new revolver is that it will weigh in between 18 and 19 ounces.
If I like what I purchase next and it suits my concealed carry needs I'll probably dump the Rugers and never look back.
I can't believe I just wrote that. The LCR's IMO where just about perfect for what I needed until all of these defects being discovered from coast-to-coast.
