Missed out on a model 64 snubby, but stumbled on a Ruger year-end liquidation sale. They had the 2012 22 LCRs marked down to $378.
Being one of the biggest critics of "plastic" revolvers I was forced to sit down at tonight's dinner table and indulge in a fine dish of plastic crow. For desert... humble pie .
When I first picked it up I was surprised how it felt... lightweight with great balance. The barrel and cylinder are stainless and the barrel/cylinder housing are aluminum. The only plastic part is the the grip and trigger frame. It tips the scales at 14.5 oz and IMO makes a fine "kit gun".
We embarked on our maiden voyage today and it performed flawless with 300 rounds of Walmart Rem. bulk ammo (a great test for any 22 ). The short trigger pull is real nice. I was able to cap off 8 rounds faster than my 22 auto!
Not the best pics, but here ya go....
