When looking at the LCR's at my local gun shops, I've noticed some differences within the same models. Some .38SPL's have lighter grayish cylinders, some are darker, almost black. Some have barrels polished shiny on the end, others are just black.
I was at one shop that had two .357 models, and one of them had a lighter gray colored cylinder, and was noticeably lighter then the other gun, more like a .38SPL model (yes, I verified it was the .357 model). When I asked the person behind the counter, (some lady who didn't seem to know what she was doing) she didn't know why and thought that one might be titanium (they were both the same price). This was the only .357 model I've seen like this.
When checking Ruger's website, there is no indication of any changes being made or special versions available. Is Ruger intentionally throwing some oddballs out there for curiosities sake, or have they just not updated their website in awhile?
