My .38 LCR gets carried more than anything else. It is light and small yet it feels very comfortable in my hands. It was my first Ruger and sold me so much on the brand that I have purchased several others since.
I'm wondering if it'll be accurate enough for bullseye competition? (I was shooting at the expert level a couple of years ago but have really declined lately) This gun is for carry, but I like to shoot my carry gun and reloads that mimic my carry ammo for the extra practice.
Also, just a bit curios does anyone else's have a slight rattle when they shake it? Mine does ~ not exactly sure what it is.
That is the transfer bar. They started putting them on revolvers when they took the firing pin off the tip of the hammer back in the 80's.
Just a bit of a correction, but Ruger came out with this on the Security Six/Speed Six/Service Six and the new model Blackhawks in the early 70s. I bought a Security Six new in 1978 that had the transfer bar and traded it for a new model Blackhawk some years ago which has the transfer bar. Ruger will STILL convert old model blackhawks to the transfer bar system if you sent the gun to them.
