Ruger LCR

The Ruger LCR is the newest Lightweight Compact Revolver (...LCR, get it?) is on the market and let me just say a couple of things about it.

The first thing I want to say is that I'm a rationalizer and an analyst by nature. I don't take anything at face value, I read, study, compile informaiton, compare, contrast, look under microscopes, etc. However, the first time I got a grip on this little gem, I was sold, no fuss, no muss, no nothing. It's that good.

This is a 5 shot, polymer, revolver which is capable of accepting +p loadings, which bumps up the muzzle energy by 20%, give or take.

It comes with a very comfortable Hogue grip and can also come with a Crimson Trace lazer grip.

I've held and dry fired and live fired several revolvers and this has, hands down, the smoothest, lightest trigger pull of any revolver ever, period. My wife tried it and was SUPER impressed. She's broker her fingers several times playing field hockey as a kid and has trouble with a heavy pull, but this one was like "buttah" when she tried it out.

As with any snubby, the bark from at .38 could provide some uncomfortable recoil, but the new grips will mitigate that to a decent degree.

I am seriously considering getting one of these for a truck gun and so my wife has something to carry as well. It is awesomeness...hands down.
