I've been waiting for that to drop. That has "kit gun" written all over it. Will probably be a great .38 shooter, with occasional magnums when a person is feeling masochistic.

They sure are ugly though.

The Kimber K6 3 inch DA/SA gives you an extra round and only weighs 4 ounces more.


Of course the LCRx MRSP is almost 300 less. :p

They need to get Hogue to make that grip for the SP101. And S&W needs it for J frames.

I always wondered why they didn't make that one.

I also want a 2" 22LR LCRx, they make the 5439 in 22Mag, but I would want that in LR.

YES please!

Held one yesterday and that grip is just wonderful. When I eventually add a .357 to my inventory, it'll definitely wear those. I'm picking up my .22LR LCR on Sat, kinda lost my interest in .22WMR when I learned that in a sub 2" barrel I'm only gaining 30fps going from LR to WMR...if I'd known that last year, my wife's S&W 351c would be a 43c just for the extra round. My 6.5" Single Six lives with the WMR cylinder in place though.

I've been waiting and waiting for this! I didn't think they would ever make it in 357 mag. I have a lcr 22 mag and I can assure you there is a definite difference between the 22lr and 22 mag no matter what the fps is. And the projectiles are better quality than in 22lr IMO. But I also have 22 mag rifles so it makes sense for me over 22lr.

Looks like I've got one more thing to go lay my hands on at SHOT . . .

I handled a LCRx 3" 22lr at the LGS today. I was surprised and pleased with the workmanship. Oddly enough, more attention to detail than the S&W317. Sample size of one each.

Does anyone make an aftermarket front sight for the LCRx? Or are they interchangeably with most current Ruger revolvers?

It also says "Kimber" on it which means the QC is immediately suspect. Not to shit too hard on Kimber, because I've had two that were pretty decent.
