Hahaha. It’s not that bad. I have one of the entry level licenses. The highest tier allows more than 15 guns, and I’ve met several guys who have hundreds in their collections.
Does the 9mm LCR exhibit bullet pull the way many 9mm revolvers do? I don’t have a lot of ammo choices locally. Most of the stuff is 115 and 124 gr weight. The local Remington distributor had some 147 Golden Sabres but ran out six months into the Covid lockdown. Federal HST 124 gr standard pressure is sometimes available but $$$ at $2.25 per round. The Hornady distributor has 135 grain Critical Duty but that stuff sells out really fast, even during normal times. The most available ammo is Armscor (works ok for training) and Magtech.
Is bullet pull more about bullet weight, or the crimp that the maker applies to their ammo?
Bullet pull: good question. I tested this, using Fed HST 147 and Win Ranger 147. It took 8 shots to add 0.010” to the HST, and the Ranger didn’t budge. There is so much room in the cylinder that I feel this is a non issue unless you repeatedly partially fire and reload a moonclip with rounds in it.
If I had the choice, I would use long bullets (147) even though they are heavier. But based my tests, you should be good with any weight. I am fairly sure crimp makes the most difference.
