And just like that, the PF-CF model was born!
When you get the info together, post back. I’m in for one just like CF’s. P-F orange not necessary, but could be cool.

I can't recall if this question was addressed up thread, and I apologize if so: I wanted to ask regarding the action (specifically, the pull weight) of the LCR. Mine in particular. When I bought it, I really liked the trigger action, as compared to a number of the (new) j-frames I was comparing it to (bear in mind I am not/nor will probably be a revolver guy).
My LCR is smooth, but with respect to the weight of the trigger, I have always felt it was pretty heavy. My gun now has 485 rounds of Federal GMM or S&B 148 gr wadcutter since I bought it in July 2019. I have a rudimentary spring-type pull gauge, and it only goes to 8 lb f or so, and fully extends when I try to measure the pull weight of my LCR.
While I realize I should just "shoot it more", I have a couple questions on the action:
1) With regard to the trigger pull weight, is it possible to lighten it slightly by burnishing or polishing any internal surfaces?
2) I have not stripped the LCR down besides what is allowed in the manual for lubrication. But is it totally impossible to get it apart and put it back together? I know it's not going to be caveman easy like a Glock, but I was wondering whether this is a Really Bad Idea, or one of those "not too bad if you take your time" kind of things.
Inputs appreciated.

My LCR9
Similar to my MP340 with Apex kit
But better than the unmodified J-frame weight which is over 12 pounds
That’s as high as the scale goes.
Ballistically and shootabilty wise the LCR9 is amazing. @Clusterfrack has good judgement!
It makes velocities higher than a P365 and is still rapidly shootable.
It punches way above its weight and does as well as 357 magnum out of a J frame but waaaaaay more shootable.
I agree with the first statement. The 2nd is highly debatable.
I'll measure my LCR pull weight and post it shortly. But, I don't feel the need to fiddle with it.
PS. My understanding is that all Rugers are easy to disassemble.

My 9mm lcrx is 9.5 to 10 pounds double and a very consistent 4lbs 10oz single. I have no idea on round count but it is easily over 500 with 10 times as many dry fires. I have not done a detail strip and really haven't felt the need.
I just realized the LCR9 front sight insert has gone missing...
Ordered a HiVis replacement. Hope it’s the correct height!
Anyone do a replacement yet? I didn’t read the 38 pages.
If I remember correctly from Ruger's website, the Hi-Viz is only for the .38 and .357 LCR(x). On the 9mm and .22s will lower the POI.
I put a Hi-Viz on my LCRX .22 LR, but not much of a problem with an adjustable rear.
