I picked up the LCR last night,It was a gift from a vender.
I like revolvers and have had several snubs in the past but
have parted with them to family and friends over the years as
I prefer Semi's in 9mm and above for carry.My revolvers I have now are for hunting and range use.
My thoughts on this one after shooting it last night are that its the lightest I have ever held or shot.Recoil for such a light snub was not brutal but its still a light snub and recoils as such.Accuracy was exceptional,I had not shot a snuby in years and had no problems making hits.I did not bench it or shoot paper as it was getting late.I shot my hanging steel.I have a 6" plate at 12yd's 8"@17 6x1125 and a12x1660
After a couple of shots to see where it shoots I had no difficulty making hits on every shot out to 25yds and was able to put 11 of 15 on the 60yd steel slow fire.This was with my hand loads for my 586 Smith and they were on the warm side.
After 70 rounds I called it quits.I tried it in my front andrear jean pockets(Im not a big fan of pocket carry)and found it
to large to conceal in my rear and it filled my front enough
between the rubber grips and longer grip length to be hard to
draw from the pocket.Mabe a different pocket style would help this,but I am a jeans guy.Over all it was it was a prety nice little snub,The trigger while different than most was smooth and accuracy was good.
That said I've decieded to sell or trade it,because for me it would be a(IWB)gun and if I'm going to carry that way I prefer
a more substantial round and plaform.Sorry for the ramble,It's early.
