Ruger 357

[rbrand39]

Well my sp101 357 mag.. became my all time fav....
but that is kinda left at home with mom and i was carrying a
Junk gun.. Now I was looking and I found a NEW Ruger 357 LCR.
$430.00 . And carry in the front pocket with a pocket holster..
well 2 days @ work and it is amazing.. running bending and it is great..
My own boss cant tell what pocket is my wallet or cell phone or
357 MAG!!!!!

Tomorrow. is Range DAY!!
will post more...


p.s. sp10 = 26 oz
LCR = 17.10 oz.
ya its much lighter!!!

expect an increase in recoil with the same ammo in that LCR. It IS a bit smaller than the SP101, but that looks like a very comfy grip.

the Hogue Tamer grips are very nice, the SP101 has HARD rubber vs the LCR being softer subber. The 38sp i didnt notice a difference but Tomorrow, Ill be using the 38sp +p and 357, and HOT HOT 357's,

HOT HOT .357's through an LCR? Ouch!!

well i was almost @ the range but work called and I felt bad and had to go into work till a Hour after the range closed but That kinda payed for the range time... =) plus getting a few new boxes to get now.

Range report on the way.

edit= Also the grip is alot longer from front to back and the back side of the factory LCR is very soft and I think that will help a lot.
well about to find out.

Well after about 150 rounds I had to head out because of work and home things to do., (clean gun b4 work)

The Ruger worked just like a Ruger. ANYTHING I put in it was BAM! BAM!....

I found some 38 Shrorts in my garage and some very old 38s I had to use a wire brush to removed some rust or gunk on the caseing.. *all were my dads new box ammo* from his military days...

then I got into my ammos.... 38 sp.. federal and walmart cheap Talon (the black box) the 38+p was good like the SP101...

Then I got into the 357 ammo... *Blush*

I was really thinking it was going to kick like my cusins SW- 44mag Snub...
But It really didnt... I think it is really amazing how this LCR is 17oz ~~
and has that much recoil CONTROL!!!!

I put in the LCR TRITON AMMO.. this is the 357 mag +P ammo..
If this was to be a +P it should. and the SP101 kinda kicks back to me but the LCR had a little hop on the way back but after 2 or 3 rounds it is like Ok not bad @ all..

o and by the way I love the finish on the LCR because the sun does not shine off it. Great for a front pocket of shorts and if your a out doors man its light and Powerfull.

What a great buy for $438.00
The store was Tac aim in Springhill FL. I only put the name because some stores are going crazy @ around $560-600 and I have only paid the most for a new Ruger SP101 @ $450.00 So anyone paying more than that, beware.
