    Oddly, the magnum round's additional pressure might be the reason. Ruger will not chamber their cheaper Wrangler model for WMR because it's frame will not tolerate the magnum pressure. My theory is that the underside of the top strap near the barrel can not withstand damage from heat and flash. S&W had a similar issue with the magnum round in the Kit Gun J frame many years ago.

    FWIW I noticed not long ago Ruger has the Single 10 in .22LR but the .22WMR is a Single 9.

    So there’s a greater than zero chance I’m going to end up with a .38 LCR soon™️. Given my primary use case for a .38 snub is pocket carry, I’m thinking G10 for grips.

    Anyone have thoughts, ideas or experience in this area?

    I’m not a big guy but I can pocket carry my LCRx with a speed strip. However, it’s right on the edge of being too big for pocket carry with me. A smaller set of grips would be a big improvement, but in the case of the LCRx, that would mean modifying a set of grips.


    Weight wise there is no issue.

    I have pocket carried J frames for a long time. The pocket is their exclusive role. If belt carrying, I have a G26 etc… A couple of years ago I purchased 3 LCRs. .38 as the carry piece, .22 and a .357 to use as sub-caliber/heavier trainers. Even with smaller grips, I was unable to make them work for my pockets. This was with clothing that worked very well with the J frames. There are some definite bonuses to the LCR’s but I was unable to make them work from the pocket. I think that the J frames are just a little more svelte is the right places. The LCR’s always seem to print despite the use of different holsters.

    If S&W made J frames with external hammers and no locks, I would not give the LCR a second thought. Even though it has some real advantages, the J frame is just enough smaller to make a real difference pocket carry wise.


    I’ve been carrying the LCR in a JM Custom OWB. Works great and carried well even when I was clearing cut down trees and loading them onto a trailer in crazy heat for hours at a time.

    Thanks, after handling an LCRx yesterday and mentally comparing it to my 442 I thought it was going to be borderline for pocket carry which is why I started looking for something to reduce the grip size. I prefer and trust new production Rugers over S&Ws but it looks like another 442 will be in my future when this trade happens. At least a replacement 442 won't require a new holster...

    I picked up an LCR in .327 and put the Rogers grips on it. I test fired it today with some .32 Long Magtech wadcutters from Lucky Gunner. At the moment, I am forced to shoot as a lefty due to having surgery a few weeks ago on my right hand. I fired these at 3-yard lefty only. I fired another group from seven had shots hitting several inches below POA.

    I had an ER nurse in a class. I noticed she kept taking all head shots. Her response when asked why, "'I've seen too many people who have been shot in the chest putting up a fight in the ER." Point taken.

    Rogers Enhanced Grips

    I found that the “tabs” cause some problems with some holsters. They require some grinding to fit the Phlster City Special for sure.
