not at all like kahr trigger
m2steven:
i'm not looking to start one of these nonsensical bulletin board debates but the lcr's trigger is NOT at all like the kahr's.
i'm 2,000 rounds (and a couple o' new springs) into my pm45 and 300 rounds into my lcr and there is no question the lcr is a better trigger. the kahr trigger is lighter (you can easily use just pad of the index finger as with a 1911), but the kahr is also much longer and can really wreak havoc on your sight alignment under stress (shoot an idpa bug gun match you'll know what i mean).
i've never been a wheel gun guy (was born and raised on the 1911 back when going to gunsite meant sleeping in a tent) but when dress code or circumstances don't permit the 1911, i've always gone to a kahr. this lcr will now replace my kahr (no reasonable offers refused if you're in the market
). you will not believe how light this lcr is, how tolerable the recoil, how good the notch rear site is, how slim the profile, etc., etc., etc. there's no question the kahr is more accurate, but the lcr is more than passable and just disappears in a jacket pocket in a way the kahr, with that extended mag base, just won't. not to mention if you've got a kangaroo or a smart carry forget it.....this thing carry's as if it were an extra extended mag rather than a gun.... you'll forget you're heeled. hell you can pocket carry in sweat pants and it won't pull down even with an untied drawstring (no more stashing guns in lockboxes around the house...this thing can be on you at all times). i have to admit i've thought civilians who carried a back-up were paranoid. most of us will never need to reach for our primary carry gun, let alone draw let alone fire. who needs a b-u-g. but this thing is so light and unobtrusive, if my 1911 is on my waist, its in my smart carry or my kangaroo. its so light it just doesn't make sense not too.
if you're an office type, the difference in carry-ability/concealability will mean the lcr's a one stroke draw-away in your strong side jacket pocket at times when the kahr would have bee in in your briefcase or tucked away in your waist band or small of back.
again i aint a wheel gun guy. i'm old and brainwashed. i think anything other than a 4.25 inch 1911 with adjustable sights and a 10 round chip mccormick mag is settling. and i most certainly don't work for ruger, but all that said, this little 13.5 ouncer is the most interesting thing to hit the ccw market since Gaston Glock decided to use polymer.
