LCR poll

Please only reply if you have one or shot one enough to form an opinion.

I have about 250-300 rds through mine. It's my BUG. :mrgreen:

 

[GilaMonster]

I have found absolutely nothing to dislike about mine.

The S&W 642 that I had never got fired, and was traded for a Browning BuckMark .22

The LCR -- never leave home without it!

 

[Slanteyedshootist]

My Tupperwheel has been dead nuts reliable. Have shot hundreds of rounds through it and no problems. Added a fiber optic front sight and CT laser grips to compensate for old eyes.

 

[madd-trapper]

Only put 50 rds thru it so far, but never go anywhere without it.

I have both of the LCRs. One in .38 only and the other in .357 MAGNUM. I loooooooooooooooooooooove revolvers from Ruger than S&Ws. Very well built and will last longer than me. I will trade my Glock Nines for them. rich642z

 

[GKC]

I had a LCR in .38 and traded it...I always regretted it, so when the .357 model came out, I got one. I find that I carry it more than any of my other revolvers or pistols. I load mine with .38 Special + P.

 

[madd-trapper]

Im still waiting for LCR wood grips!

 

[doublebarrel]

I really like my LCR.After getting it and putting a few rounds through it I sold my S&W 642,the Ruger was just that much better.Then my wife tried the LCR and I was without a .38(she claimed it).So I am on my second LCR,this one with the boot grip and night site.I think this may be the perfect carry revolver.

 

[madd-trapper]

How do you like the boot grip?

 

[doublebarrel]

I like the boot grip.The first LCR I bought had the standard grips,they were too sticky for me,my shirts would hang up on them.I put on the laser grips and they were better.The boot grips are my favorite of the three and I like the night sites.Really not a big fan of lasers.

I now have 1000 rounds thru mine (no rest, 2 hands, hind legs). I hope to run another thousand by the end of the year. I want to see if that 10,000 rounds Ruger brags about is real.

My policeman neighbor says that I can shoot it (I'm not satisfied yet). I've been practicing at 25 yd (That's what's available), but recently got a chance to shoot some "doubles" at 7 yd.

My best 25 yd group is 4 7/8", extreme c/c, 10 rds.

My doubles (19 rd, 7yd) were 2 1/4" to chest, 2 1/2" to head.

I don't know what the little gun is capable of (maybe 3" at 25 yd, and less than 1" at 7).

But I'm pleased with my Tupperware gun so far.

I just got my LCR this week and have not had a chance to fire it yet. The first thing that happened is that my wife took it away from me. (actually she chose it for her CCW). I cleaned it for her and she immediately loaded it with .38's and put it in her purse. I told her she shouldn't use it for CCW until it had been tested but she said she was more confident with it unfired than she was with her previous CCW, a Beretta .22LR. I guess I can agree with that to a certain point but am anxious to get to the range and try it out. I will not feel very comfortable with her using it for CCW until there has been 100+ rounds put through it. So far I like it and my wife loves the caliber, light weight and the trigger pull.

 

[Slanteyedshootist]

You got that right. Take it to the range and fire some ammo through it. The trigger gets even better with use. She needs to check out recoil, point of aim, etc. before carrying.

 

[Jayhawkhuntclub]

Well it looks like the LCR is doing pretty well for itself. I'm willing to bet at least a couple who voted against it, have never fired one and are voting strictly based on looks or principle.

I came here / joined to actually learn more and read more on the LCR and Rugers in general.

I'm really a GLock guy, I have 4 and have loved them for over 10 years. BUt last year, right when the LCR came out...I put in an order. It took about 4 months (i think) but I got it.

Shot it off an on thru the last year, the little gun always did great and was super reliable. It's amazing how accurate it is too (to me). I carried in my outer coat pocket to solve getting to my primary gun with a big winter coat on. I got a desantis nemisis, just your basic pocket holster...and it worked great.

I got a "leather jones" last week and ordered a holster, belt, and speed strip pouch from Rob @ Simply Rugged holsters...and now I'm kinda excited to get the leather and start carrying the LCR more.

Very Good my boy. rich642z

I love mine. It is my everyday carry. You can wear it with anything and carry it anyway you want. .38 + p HP is plenty.

 

[PackinPreacher]

I'm new to wheel guns. Picked up mine (LCR) in .357 last Monday. In two trips to the range I've put about 60 rounds through it. 10 rds .357 and the rest in .38 spl. What's not to like? The .357 is a handful but manageable. And it shoots where I point it. I'm a happy camper.

 

[rgwarren]

I have a LCR in 38 and love it... I use it as a boot gun.... If I have my boots on, I have my LCR with me and I wear boots most all time...

I will be getting one in 357....

Mine shoots great. I practice at 25 yds and hold a 4.00" group using Federal 158 Gr. +P Semi Wadcutter Hollow Point, what they refer to as the FBI load. The gun is nice and light and a joy to carry. Easy to clean. Haven't worked up a hand load yet but would like to duplicate the Federal load as it is an accurate load. MC
