Which Ruger LCR calibers do you have?

Sudo · May 27, 2017, 01:35 PM

I'm trying to determine the relative popularity of different calibers in LCRs.

Please check all the calibers you currently own (not ones you may have sold in the past).

I own two in .38. The 2" and the 3".

Doc Holliday 1950 · May 27, 2017, 09:12 PM

1.87" 357 mag

My wife has an LCR in .38, while I have two LCRX (2" & 3") in .38. I plan to add another 3" LCRX in .22 soon.

cole k · May 28, 2017, 03:04 PM

I don't have a LCR but I'm interested in the LCRX 3" .22 RF or better yet a .22 WRM.

Have an LCR in 9mm. No problems at all and no bullet pull outs due to recoil as some have said. Of course most are reloads thru a Lee factory crimp die also but no bullet pull with any quality factory SD loads including some +P+ stuff

BigMikey76 · June 5, 2017, 07:31 PM

I don't have one - YET. I would love to have the 2" LCRx in .38 spec. It is near the top of my short list.

Dan-O · June 5, 2017, 11:35 PM

.327, but the 3" .22 lr sure sounds good to me too.

**Spats McGee** · June 6, 2017, 05:03 AM

.357 Mag

smee78 · June 6, 2017, 06:31 AM

I dont have one yet but would love a LCRX 327mag and the 9mm version.

I am waiting for a 44 special version

Might be waiting a while on that one. Who wants a 3 shot revolver?

the Black Spot · June 8, 2017, 08:42 AM

They could at least make it four shots...haha

Interesting poll.

The total amount LCR users is 75.92%.

The amount of non-LCR users is 37.04%.

That all adds up to 112.96%.

What gives? Must be a polymer poll.

If you own more than one you get to enter all that you own.
It's a little harder to use percentages when the rules are flexible.
I am a great Ruger fan but not a fan of the LCR or LCP. Alloy frames or not they are too small to shoot well.

ifithitu · June 10, 2017, 09:47 PM

I have the LCR .38 SPL.+P Snubnose 5 shot revolver.

I've never shot an LCP but the LCR does something very special for its size. It achieves a near perfect meld with my hand. The grip maximizes contact and sort of hooks into my fingers. It's also soft and cushy. It allows for a more comfortable and more controllable shooting experience versus just about anything approaching that size and weight class.

That said, anything in that size and weight class is going to thump with full-power .357 magnum. It might be better but this is unavoidable. I find that the LCR really shines with .38 special or the 85-grain load in .327 Federal. If you haven't tried the latter, I strongly recommend it.

22-rimfire · June 13, 2017, 09:22 PM

I own the LCR in 22LR. Would like to get the LCRx in 22LR. Would like to get a LCR in 38spl down the road. If I see a LCRx in 22LR at a gun shop and it is priced reasonably, I'll probably buy it.

Schnitzjr · June 15, 2017, 09:59 PM

I have the .38 because I knew deep down I would only shoot 5 rounds of .357 before wimping out and switching to .38 anyway.

Water-Man · June 15, 2017, 11:33 PM

That's what you think.

Carl the Floor Walker · June 16, 2017, 04:01 AM

The LCR9mm has become one of my favorite shooters. Lot of power, none of the heavy recoil, noise and flash like the 357, can shoot a huge variety of ammo which I have a ton of. I like the moon clips. Load up around 20-30 for each week of shooting. One of my best buys in shooting. I would love to see Ruger come out with a LCRx in 9mm with a longer barrel.
