Ruger LCR.......

[CAJUNLAWYER]

0r Whatever they call that new Ruger hammerless recolver.
had a chance to handle & dry fire a Ruger LCR, a S&W 638 and a S&W 642. No contest, the Ruger was hands down smoother and felt better in my hand. Second was the 638. The 642 wasn't even in the hunt. Tough choice between the Ruger & the 638, but if I had to choose it would be the 638 just because of the single action capability. But I got to tell ya, I'd buy the Ruger ober the 642 in a heartbeat.

Attention all who may want to shop in Louisiana this weekend. It is 2nd amendment weekend and what that means is that anything connected with Hunting and fishing gets a waiver of sales tax. So if you're looking to buy that new 4 wheeler or deer stand or ammo or gun, this weekend is the time to do it. Come on over, see our beautiful state and buy some hunting & fishing stuff!!!

About time we did something right.

Lawyer of Cajun-ness, you are correct sir! The Ruger LCR is outstanding. I even like how it looks. It's all business. Still not what my eyes have been used to with the likes of the classis S&W J-frame, but the LCR sure shoots well!

Funny you should write about this. I looked at one today. I like it. I would like to shoot one owned by someone else before I buy it though.

 

[Burley]

Funny, once I handled a LCR I didn't want one and bought a new no lock 642. If there was a no lock 638 I might have got them both. They've sense droped the prices of LCRs around here 25 - 30 bucks. People that spend that kind of money want a Smith or save $100 and get a Taurus or Charter.

We have been deluged with orders for holsters for the LCR. I'd venture that Ruger is working overtime to get them out the door. I've adapted about 5 or 6 models for the LCR and of those, the inside waistband and pancake models are selling at record numbers. Typically for the past 2 months we've been receiving 4 or 5 orders in a row for Ruger LCR holsters on some days. I'm glad I designed this one. My customers tell me they are very satisfied with the guns performance overall, haven't heard anything negative, except perhaps that they had to wait awhile for the gun to be delivered to their dealer from distributors.

I shot a couple of the LCR's, and didn't care for the Long trigger pull. Granted it was reasonably smooth, and not too heavy, but seemed about a foot longer than any of my J Frames. Once you got used to it I'm sure it would be fine.

Plastic revolvers....Is nothing sacred?

 

[will5a1]

I bought an LCR earlier in the year and like a lot of its features, but find I short, or soft stroke the trigger on return as I am so used to a Smith's trigger - its not a problem with the gun but with me, or my muscle memory, and I still can't get used to it. Borrow one if you can and see how it works for you.

Don't get me wrong, I like Rugers just fine, but that gun is just about the ugliest gun I have ever seen! I handled one a month or so ago. One weird little critter! I guess it has it's purpose like anything else. No offense meant to any of you that own one, it's just a matter of preference I reckon.

 

[Rule3]

I got to "play" with one at the gun shop and must say the trigger is way better than my 642. IMO it is not as "ugly" up close and in person as I thought it would be from it's magazine photos. Still takes some getting used to however.

 

[Farmer17]

The Ruger is the gun I wanted someone to make for a long time. Easy and cheap to mass produce like a Glock and lightweight because of the polymer and castings. Exactly what this country needs.... a good 5 shot .38 Snubnose for 200 bucks. But wait....the Ruger costs even more than a highly refined and proven Smith & Wesson 642/442, what's the point?

 

[Toyman]

I bought a Ruger LCR as soon as they came out. I have shoot about 500 rounds through it and now is my wifes carry gun. She was carrying a 642 and found the Ruger easier to shoot, better trigger pull.

 

[m657]

The retail in my area has barely dropped below $500 even though they are not that hard to find on the shelves. I don't know anybody personally that has bought one yet, so haven't been able to shoot one.

What is going on here?!

What is going on here?!

Mutiny? Dissension in the Ranks?

 

[reerc]

On my "longer list", but wouldn't mind having one some day.

Variety is the spice of life, Sip ... besides, we know you carrry a Ruger SP101.

 

[ThirtyAcres]

My dad bought one with the Crimson Trace option.

We shot the snot out of it.

I believe the recoil is less than my 442.

I can't find anything I don't like about the gun.

Fits perfectly in my 442's Mika.

With the laser it was $649.

The trigger on a stock 642 is not great. It can be fixed pretty easily with some smoothing and SLIGHTLY reduced spring weights. My 642 now has a very acceptable trigger and will function 100% with reloads using CCI primers. That is my acid test for any gun with reduced power mainspring. The trigger rebound spring is way heavier than necessary, also. Reducing its weight has no bearing on ignition reliability.

Compared to the weight of that SP, Sip could be carrying the LCR right now and not even know it.
