Taking a chance on a new wheel gun...

Just told my FFL guy to order me a Ruger LCRX 3 in barrel in .357.

Some of my thinking, reduced to "bullets":

- Ruger makes good, over-built (maybe) revolvers

- Wanted something with more barrel length than a belly gun 

- The .357 caliber is probably the ultimate for a woods-carry gun (except in Alaska)

- Will use .38 spl for plinking

- Having a wheelgun or two is a hedge against the unthinkable: a ban on semi-autos by the Socialists (I know, call me crazy...)

I have a .357 LCR.  I never fired .357 rounds out of it, just .38 Specials.  I put a fiber optic front sight on mine.  It seemed to beg for a little differentiation in the sight picture.  Black back sight on black front sight while shooting at  a black target just left me wondering where I was placing my rounds.  The double action pull is consistent, and I was surprised that I liked it better than some of the Smith and Wesson J Frames that I was comparing trigger pulls with.  In the end, I put a set of Pachmayr Decelerator grips on it, and now it's kind of bulky, but definitely more shoot-able. 

Enjoy.  The little polymer pistol soaks up more recoil than its weight would have you believe it could.
