A new Ruger LCR for me - Page 2 - The Firearms Forum

Double D · 03-13-2010, 09:23 AM

I have sold a few of those myself and everyone loves them. If anyone else is interested, I have one for 419.00.

Gunclinger - I am curious of how the crimson trace grip is attached to the LCR. Is it a one piece thing that you have to remove same as the grip?

todd - I have not bought a belt holster of any kind for it yet. I have thought of the Fobus but just haven't got around to buying one. Thanks, I had a great time in Hawaii, but I'll tell you that I just couldn't afford to live there!!

Grips . .. Grips . . .Grips

Anyone find any wood grips for these yet?
The Hogue and CT are cool and all, but I like wood.

I pick mine up on Sunday (stupid 'cooling off period') and I want wood.

Looks like a two piece grip. Two screws on the left side, split down the middle.

Friend of mine bought his wife a new Ruger LCR, at a gun show. Felt great and very small and light. But she put it down after firing it twice, and said "I'm sorry, I just don't like it". Have seen some pretty big men at a gun range also say that it beat's the crap out of your hand. It's a great idea, just too small for the caliber. Difficult to shoot accurately.

Got me one 447.23 academy removed the front sight,and will install hiviz green and take it to the range this weekend. If I really like it,will get a crimson trace

I have had mine for over a year now. I have probably only put 300 round through it and I still love it. I have not bought any other holster for it so I still use the Desantis pocket one.

I took it out shooting last week and while firing it, I thought I had developed a problem with it. Each time I would open the cylinder to extract the spent cases, it would be just a little harder to open. Then the cylinder would not open at all. I thought of the problems that other folks said that they had with the LCR and I thought "Oh Crap, I guess it is my turn". I laid it down and shot something else for a while and then came back to it. I thought about it and decided I would look at the ejector rod and discovered that it had been unscrewing a little each time I had fired the gun. I screwed it down a little until I could open the cylinder and then screwed it down tight. That fixed the problem, which really wasn't a problem at all, just lack of proper PM.

That's a fine revolver you have there gdmoody and good shooting as well!
I personally like the LCR's and been looking at one to buy at a later date as a carry gun maybe. Nice and compact and does the job...and from your range report, accurate as well!

TheGunClinger · 10-22-2010, 06:07 AM

They have an LCR .357 now but I havnt been able to hode one as yet. Must be a handful.

I have to agree with you on that. IMO, to small for .357cal., or for me anyways. It would be a handfull!
