Will Ruger make a SW .40 cal LCR??

[Mus408]

Since I have a .40 Glock 23, a nice little snubbie in that cal. is what I'm looking for.
I like the idea of the Charter Arms Pit Bull with no moon clips but also like the light weight of the LCR!

I'd say that the likelihood is bleak. They'd make a 9mm before they ever considered a 40S&W, and I don't see that happening - even if I don't necessary agree with why not. It at least seems like a 40cal would fit safely though, but I haven't ran the numbers on the 40's dims (I have spec'd numbers for 45cal, .45acp or .45Colt wouldn't fit - Colt rim physically won't fit, and the cylinder wall isn't thick enough for either).

Nope never going to happen would just defeat the purpose of the light weight gun making it heavier for a larger round, 357mag is a way better round than 40 anyway.

I like the Charter Arms .40 Pit Bull but their quality isn't the same as the Ruger,from what I read.

The best chance will be for a GP100 in 40 S&W. We know that is do-able.
It would be nice to have a choice besides S&W for an ICORE "Limited" Revolver or an IDPA "ESR" Revolver. Now if a couple of Handgun Games would drop the Power Factor to about 150 so you could play with a 40 with factory ammo.

I have chronographed numerous 'factory' loads that make Major.

Way overkill in a gun of that weight.

Even better would be to chamber the LCR for 327 Federal.......but another not happening.

Nope 327 is a dead and dying cal. Ruger even dumped using it in the SP101.
