I'd of give my left gonad for an 8-shot .22 snubbie full of snake-shot just about the time I decided beating him with a fishing rod was just making him more determined to get in my boat with me.
I personally don't feel that that $400 is out of line for a quality .22I checked what the dealer cost is on these and it appears that they will sell in the neighborhood of $410, the same as the 38 LCR. That is a pretty expensive gun to "train" with. That money could be used for many 38 popcorn loads for the 38 version. Ruger hit some home runs with their LCP, LCR and
LC9, not sure about this one though. For the record one of my carry guns is an LCR in 357 so I am very much a fan of the platform, just not the 22 caliber and associated costs........
Quality???????????????????I personally don't feel that that $400 is out of line for a quality .22
Love or hate the plastic composite revolver design, LCR is reliable and there aren't too many problems or complaints about it. Great trigger and good grip that soaks up some of the felt recoil.Quality???????????????????
Even amongst us "serious" firearm forum folk, there are lots who are much attracted to practice companion clones.
I agree, especially since the GP100 is also has a .22 offering now.Sure there are, but the thread title and some posts seem to suggest (if not outright say) that Ruger is out of their minds to market a pocket snub by in .22 R.F. My point, is the company, contrary to some opinions, knows exactly what they are doing, and will probably turn out to be right.
Whoops sorry might have bee the SP-101 in .22 not the GP.There's a GP100 in .22 now as well? I don't see anything on the website.
There's also the new SP101-22 with 4.2 inch barrel which seems to be getting good feedback from the folks at THR. Threads I've read since I took up shooting and found THR about 3 years back always seemed to have someone waxing on poetically about the old SP101 in .22. Now that it's back I guess we'll see.
