TXUSMC Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 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...)

minervadoe Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dric902 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) Love my wheelguns, no reason needed the Underwood 100 gen Extreme Defender 38Spc +p is an excellent carry load the 135 grn short barrel Gold Dot is also an excellent choice Edited October 12, 2019 by Dric902 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadbart Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I see no concerns with your selection or rationales, good sir! Attaboy on a nice addition to the collection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmet Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Those LCRs aren’t my thing, but plenty of folks like them so you likely made a solid choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
