Picked up my new LCR 9mm 10 days ago from my LGS. Weather hasn't allowed a lot of range time but I have put 85 rounds through it. Really like it and it makes a good big brother to my LCR .22. My groupings are improving but still nothing to brag about. I ordered another 6 moon clips, if I find a better price I will buy some more. The clips are not hard to load and with the help of a pencil or other small rod they unload easy but it would be nice to load up a days worth of range ammo at a time.
I had a 1 inch clear plastic tube with soft rubber caps in my junk box. The caps make a perfect cap to press a full moon clip in to make it safer for pocket carry of ammo. Hope to find some more of these caps.
I ran 3 kinds of practice ammo so far, no defensive yet. Winchester white box, Federal American Eagle and Blazer Brass. White box and American Eagle worked fine, Blazer Brass failed badly. I tried to shoot 3 clips of Blazer, first two after shooting 4 rounds the 5th bullet separated from it's casing and jammed the cylinder, the 3rd clip two bullets separated after firing 3 shots and jammed the cylinder. The bullets actually protrude from the front of the cylinder. I have another box of Blazer from another batch that I will try and then send a note to Blazer. I do not blame the gun at all it is obviously bad crimp but it does make you doubt the reliability of a revolver that is always suppose to go bang when you pull the trigger.
