LCR 9mm

[LtDave]

Softer shooting than a j-frame with 38's? Very interesting. I've never shot a 9mm revolver, but I've always heard they are challenging because 9mm is quite hot coming out of a little wheel gun. I might have to try out a LCR.

Wow. I have a 940 Smith and find it pretty unfun to shoot compared to even a Model 37 with +P.

Maybe it's the Rogers grips?

I have some HST 147 ammo inbound, and will see what that feels like in it.

That's basically what I told GJM, and he thought the 9 was better. Made me curious.

I generally dislike any auto cartridge in a revolver though. The recoil impulse is just different, even if it is light.

I really like how smooth the LCR trigger feels. However, I would cheerfully give up a few pounds of pull weight to get a stronger trigger return. I seem to recall Jerry Miculek saying a strong trigger return was pretty important...

So, does anyone offer a stronger trigger return spring for the LCR, or work on them internally to improve the reset?

Necro-post here....

Has anybody put a fiber or night sight on their 9mm? All the options I'm finding are for .38/.357 and state that the POA/POI will be off dramatically.

I did find last night that the factory moonclips are pretty delicate - dropped one loaded and it bent pretty bad, will only hold 4 rounds now. I've regulated the Rugers to range only now since they're so easy to unload, and the Speedbeez are a bit more sturdy while being much cheaper.

The Speedbeez clips are solid, and are still easy to load and come with a demooner for stubborn cases (packs of 10/20/50 on amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 )

My buddy put the xs sight on it. Wasn't too bad out to 15 yards, we hadn't shot it further than that.
