Does anyone have chronograph data on .357 Mag ammo fired from the LCR? Thanks, Don

Looks like 1150-1225 with 125 gr. Critical defense loads (and others) are designed for short barrels and have low flash.

Never listen to the naysayers who claim there is no advantage to the 357 out of the snubby. They are the victims of wife's tales or bad ammo.

Your snubby 357 pocket gun will perform our probably outperform a full service sized 9mm...again from a pocket gun.

Just thinking right now. Have a SP101 that puts out over 600 ft lbs with BB 158 grs. The SP is actually easier for me to conceal than my SR9C but still rubs on long walks. Considering if the loss in performance with the LCR is worth the gain in comfort? The Hornady CD ammo ran right at what the SR9C does with Double Tap ammo. May have to work harder at my conceal carry rig, who knows? Thanks, Don.
