Pandaz3 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I would second the Kimber, but I have not handled one, so I can't do it whole heartedly, it seems to fit your needs. I carry a Ruger LCR in 327 Federal Magnum. I choose it, as it is a six shooter, where the 357 LCR is a Five shooter. It does not have as much power I guess than a 357, but it slams them out, using American Eagle 100 Grain. I am not under gunned! I also like that I can shoot 32 S&W, 32 S&W Long, 32 H&R Magnum and of course 327 Federal Magnum. I have had mine several years, I got a early edition. One problem I had was getting a holster. The 327's cylinder is a tad longer than a 357's. I now have two Crossbreed's one a single clip IWB and one a OWB 'slide' which is the one I use mostly. Crossbreeds are generally hybrids If I were buying a new revolver today, I would get the 3" SP101 in 327 Federal. This round cry's for a heavier gun than a LCR. You might find a 3" GP-100 a cheaper path to a six round 357, lots of stocks, holsters and other accessories for GP-100's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borg warner Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I don't like the newer S&W's So what I'd look for would be an older model 13 The fixed sights are all you need and are snag-proof. I had an older Ruger speed six with a bobbed hammer that I liked very much and now ruger makes a seven shot GP-100 that's a little bulkier than a Smith model 13 or a Ruger Speed six. It's about the size of an L-frame while the speed six was closer to the K-frame in size. The 7 shot Ruger with the 2.5 inch barrel is model 1774. Another fixed-sight revolver that's even better for concealment than a K-frame or a Ruger is the Kimber K6 but it doesn't have an exposed hammer which I've never needed once I learned how to shoot double action, but some like the option of being able to shoot single action.

phortykal Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 Thanks for your reply. Apparently the current production Ruger 7 shots are a no-go due to cylinder spacing issues. I really don't mind the idea of that K6S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phortykal Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 Well folks, it would appear that I've acquired a new carry revolver through a trade... I will update everyone as soon as I have it in-hand! (I'm out of town currently.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdogkilr Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 While you are in the "just looking" phase of the hunt, you may want to consider a S&W 696. It is a 3" 44 Special. Better terminal energy than a 38 Special, and not as brutal as a 3" .357 with magnum loads. IMG_1896 S&W 696 by Jerry R, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
