Ruger LCR .327 vs LCR Lipsey H&R

[jeffrefrig]

It seems like the Rugers are creeping up in price. Lipsey has two: the flashy bronze and the Worn Brown in .32 H&R mag. Now, for $120 more for the .327FM one can shoot all .32 caliber. It looks like they all could use some better/longer stocks for the more powerful cartridges. The.327 isn't a Lipsey but costs about $120 more MSRP. The only difference is calibers and the Lipsey bling. I have no examples, but it seems like Rugers are going up in price a little quicker than than S&W. I have given my daughters (3) hammerless .38s in SW. Good guns but they were easier to find, of course, than these Rugers. Anyway, I don't want to drop down ( ?) to Charter or Taurus, as I am pretty sure they sell these, but their actions stink compared to Ruger and Smith. Any thoughts or should I just save my beer money?

Lipseys is out of any of the .32 H&R LCRs. You can't find them anywhere in stock.

The bronze color also just looks absolutely ridiculous.

It could be mistaken for a BB/airsoft pistol if you ever had to pull it on an attacker. Not only is it hideously ugly, it's tactically stupid.

I'm not trying to be that pedantic guy, but in case it influences your decision one way or the other, the standard .327 Federal LCR has a steel frame; the .32 H&R version is aluminum. The former weighs a couple ounces more.

Thanks much! Does anyone have experience with either?

I had planned to get a .32 LCR to match my .38+P LCR, but got tired of waiting and bought a 432 UC instead. I've only seen one .32 LCR on GB and that was a couple months back. Weird.

Agree on the weird bronze color scheme. Just give me a black one.

This has become the new thing, the 6 round 32/327 revolvers, will this redefine the snub nose
