Ruger LCR .357 Revolver

I bit the bullet so to speak and bought a LCR .357 revolver. I got this light-weight, snub-nose revolver in .357 Magnum as opposed to the LCR .38 Special because for the additional couple ounces I get a greater range of ammo use and a stronger wear resistent steel cylinder opposed to the aluminum cylinder on the LCR .38 Spl. The trigger is nice and smooth out of the box, The only negative is that the recoil is "snappy" with the .357 ammo. Otherwise it is a very nice handgun. This one will go to a sister-in-law who works various hours away from home as a RN at a couple regional hospitals.

This little revolver comes in .38 Spl and .357 Mag. The LCR acronym stands for 'Lightweight Compact Revolver'. It incorporates several novel features such as a polymer grip and trigger housing, monolithic receiver, and constant force trigger. The LCR operates in Double Action Only as the hammer is concealed within the frame of the gun and cannot be cocked prior to firing.

I got a 38 for the wife. She carries it in her purse and car and its much lighter than her Sig 239. I was skeptical at first but it is a fun little shooter. Takes a little getting used to coming from a 686 user but still fun to shoot.

I don't yet own a revolver, but when I do my first one will be like that.

I own this guy, the 360 PD with shrouded hammer:

It takes .357 or .38 special no less than 120 grain

They're both the same concept, But I have to say, I like the ergonomics/aesthetics on yours a little bit more!
