Question Ruger's New LCRx 38 +P 3" Barrel Revolver

Hello all:

Does anyone here own or know of the new Ruger LCRx 38 spc. +P 3" barrel revolver. I was wanting some "real world" feedback before I rush right out and buy one.

Let me hear from you when possible.

"That is all!!!"

Son of a...I'd buy the hell out of that in the 9mm model. I've owned a couple LCRs/LCRxs, they're good to go and I really wouldn't hesitate to be the beta tester on this variant.

That rear sight looks sort of fragile:

I'd call it good marketing. Many people who bought an SP101 two weeks ago are running back to the gun store today.

I believe I'd be a buyer in .22lr or .22mag!

So they're brining the LCR series into near full-size revolvers. Interesting.

I'm definitely keeping my eyes open for a 9mm.

Good move on Ruger's part. Makes a good first revolver and a fine home defense piece for non-dedicated personnel.

If they make it in 357 Magnum I might be interested if it comes at a good price.
