Bought a Ruger LCR today

[G-MAN]

I broke down and bought an LCR today. I've had my carry permit now for over a month and have faithfully carried my Glock 26 every day, but depending on wardrobe there are times when even the relatively light weight 26 is just uncomfortably heavy. The LCR is a puff of air by comparison and you can slide it into a trouser pocket with virtually no imprinting (not that I'd every carry it that way except in a pinch).

Weather permitting I'll take it to the range on Wednesday and see how it does. DA only will take some getting used to, but the trigger pull is very smooth and linear--about the best DA revolver trigger I've ever tried.

Those are neat and tiny guns. They should make them on a key chain, like a large fob. Seems like it would be a good CCW pistol.

I'm interested to hear what it's like to shoot!

I think the LCR may be my next purchase. I'm very interested to hear what you think of it.

I got an Uncle Mike's inside the waist holster for the LCR, but I've discovered the easiest and best way to carry this thing is just sticking it inside my waistband with no holster.

That is what I like about the 5 shot revolvers. Small light and effective for its intended use.

G-Man: You'll like that gun. It converted me from autos for CC.

I ended up getting Crimson Trace grips after the fact. Big improvement in accuracy, but you suffer more with recoil. Also makes it a little smaller in the pocket.

Enjoy.

I love it. It's so light I literally forget I'm carrying it.

BTW, Ruger just announced two new versions of the LCR: a 38 with smaller grips, and a new steel frame LCR in 357 Magnum. I always suspected a 357 was in the works because the cylinder on the LCR is 357 length, not 38 special.
