While it's not perfect, I'm liking the 3 inch .22 LCRx I bought and one of the aspects I love is how light it is, it makes holding the revolver up for a long distance shot effortless. Now I'm considering getting a centerfire version.
This is where Ruger is really dropping the ball as if they made a .32 Mag version on the Aluminum frame, I'd be all over it. Same could be said for the .327, which is okay as I do have plans to buy the DAO LCR in the future.
I'm not interested in a .22 Magnum, so it's between the .38 and .357 models. I'm thinking the .38 given it's lighter is going to be the ticket, but at 6oz heavier the .357 model isn't that much heavier.
That said, I do consider I already own a pretty light 4 inch vintage Charter Arms in .357, so at best the .357 LCRx would only be a few oz lighter than that, while the .38 would be half a pound less.
I'm leaning towards the .38, but at the 3 inch barrel length I know that's where the .357 starts to really gain power and the price difference between the .38 and .357 is just under $100.
