Jeff Quinn over at Gunblast.com had good things to say about the Ruger® LCR's. Take a look at his video and photos.

Did you ever put an xs sight on your LCR? I think you were going to?Jeff Quinn over at Gunblast.com had good things to say about the Ruger® LCR's. Take a look at his video and photos.
Ruger’s Game-Changing Line of LCR Pocket Revolvers
I read that whole article, thinking Jeff would hint to some new chamberings for the LCR. We all are hoping for a 22 WMR LCR, maybe a longer barrel, or Double Action. I am hoping for a 9mm LCR. I installed a Crimson Trace LaserGrip on my LCR-22 because my wife really likes the little pea shooter version, and has trouble with the sights. She and I went to the range today, and after adjusting a little bit for a 7 yard point of impact, had the laser perfectly set. I was easily busting the center red dots out of reactive color targets. Trigger control is critical with the LCR, and once mastered, the .22 version is extremely accurate. We had a lot of cheap fun and went thru 2 bricks of ammo.
I never put much stock in gun mag reviews. Most writers are very careful in what they criticize, so they can keep getting free guns to test. In the case of the LCR, I think Quinn did it honest, though. Great gun.
The .38 has an aluminum frame, with a shorter cylinder window. The .357 requires its stronger stainless steel cylinder frame, which also adds, IIRC, 2.6 ounces weight over the .38 model.Does anyone know why one LCR is made for .38+P, and a different model LCR is made for .357. Why not just market the .357 ?? Are the 2 guns on different frames ??

Interesting. An example of Ruger designing and manufacturing the LCR to "specific consumer needs", in lieu a "catch-all" design.The .38 has an aluminum frame, with a shorter cylinder window.

Not exactly, or they would have shortened the cylinder and frame for the LCR-22.Interesting. An example of Ruger designing and manufacturing the LCR to "specific consumer needs", in lieu a "catch-all" design.![]()
No manufactures shorten the cyclinder and frame to 22lr minimum specs on their revolvers.Not exactly, or they would have shortened the cylinder and frame for the LCR-22.
I have had three LCRs, one LCR 38 came from the factory with a XS sight and it tends to shoot low.Did you ever put an xs sight on your LCR? I think you were going to?
