    Barrel cleaning -do they ever actually get clean??

    I have never understood something, and I am to the point in my life where I need to address it. Whenever I attempt to clean a gun barrel, anything from one of my .38 revolvers to a .22 LR rimfire to my 300 win mag, I can NEVER get the barrel clean. No matter how many patches I run through the...

    S&W 32 Long CTG Value

    This gun belongs to a friend of mine. I thought I would check and see if it was worth anything. You can see there's some surface rust, the grip is cracked/broken, etc., but mechanically it seems in good shape. Serial number 250xxx. Text on the barrel reads: Smith&Wesson Springfield...

    Ruger LCR troubles

    That is EXACTLY what my gun started doing right before the trigger locked up... search around and find my post about it. I would say you will need to send your gun in to Ruger...

    LCR broke!

    Wow this thread has become very interesting! I for one am going to continue to use my LCR as I believe it was intended. As it is my primary CCW I need to practice with it, and it is my intention to shoot 50-100 rounds a month out of it. If it breaks again, I will send it in again. I don't...

    New Toy

    Hmm sounds like the best bet is to keep my spent cartridges and use them as snap caps then. I should have thought of that. Thanks for the advice!

    LCR broke!

    The ideal for me would be a S&W 340PD as my primary and the LCR as my backup weapon... but I don't have the $$$ for another gun right now. The LCR works. Also, looks like I'm wearing some of the little rubber nubbins down on the Hogue grip from EDC, doesn't seem to effect the grip at all just...

    LCR broke!

    To answer the question, no, they never told me what was wrong with it.

    New Toy

    OK! 100 rounds gone down so far, just some plinking out in a field. Lots of fun! Shooter needs work on accuracy, there's no question about that. As far as the gun, it seems to shoot a tad high, but has adjustable sights, so when I get some time I'll settled down with a real target and see...

    EDC piece vs Nightstand gun

    Funny you should say to get a 2nd one for if it breaks... mine did break! At the time my wife wasn't carrying, so I borrowed her Taurus 85, and kept my .6.5" .357 Blackhawk on the nightstand. I'm thinking about some sort of pocket-rocket for BUG, my buddy got an LCP last week and I want to...

    LCR broke!

    UPDATE: About 50 rounds through it since I got it back, plus a couple hundred dry fires, so far so good. Ruger did a great job for me on this, it was a total turn around time of 2 weeks, from when I shipped it out to when I got it back. They even cut me a check for $65 to cover my...

    EDC piece vs Nightstand gun

    Riddle me this- My EDC is an LCR loaded with 125 gr +P from Double Tap. I'm familiar with the gun, with the way it handles, etc, and with that load it is very controllable (at least I find it to be). I have no doubt that it is a capable load at SD (or HD) distances. There is certainly some...

    New Toy

    Thought I would share some pics of my new toy I got today. $359 including background check. Even the wife is excited about it. I got it for a practice companion to my LCR- .22 is cheap and I should be able to shoot TONS so I can get good with a snubby. Wow this gun has a HEAVY hammer! I'm...

    Ruger LCR, Bugs Out Yet?

    Mine was the one that broke, search for posts under my name for the story. Ruger got it back to me in good time and at no expense to myself- they even cut me a check to cover shipping expenses. Other than dry firing I haven't had it to the range yet- probably getting it out on Sunday...

    LCR broke!

    Got it back in my hands today: Function seems to be perfect- in fact the trigger feels better now than it ever did. Of course, it could just be me, as I've been handling that Taurus POS for the last month and it's trigger is massively heavy, but it seems slicker than it was. Will attempt...
