Has anyone had the cylinder on the 22lr reamed to 22WMR? It seems ridiculous that the 22 mag is only 6 shots while the LR is 8.
The hogue laser grips are slightly taller to than the regular hogues. Which means if your two fingers fit the regular ones perfect (and your pinky curls up at the bottom); your pinky will be about half way on the laser version, and the finger groove will be stabbing the ring finger. Solution, a modification of demonstrated concepts idea, using sugru glue. Now it is a three finger grip, but only slightly taller than a two finger. Seems to provide better stability during dry fire.
Assume it is more painfull now as my hand is riding above the tamer area, solution to that is shoot 22. Range test this week.
Last picture is hand position before the modification.

Thanks for the "Sugru" suggestion. I'd not heard of this product before.
Sugru is AWESOME!
I looked VERY HARD at doing this - I believe the rim diameter of 22WMR is enough greater than the LR to make it a no-go. Those 8 holes are really close together on the LR version. However, Ruger could easily go 7 magnums and use the alloy subframe rather than the steel one. It's alittle known thing that SAAMI max pressures are identical for LR & WMR ammo. If the LCR is safe with 8 LRs in alloy, its certainly strong enough for 7 or 8 magnums.
In a 2" barrel, the WMR has negligible increase in velocity compared to .22lr. For 2" barrel Just use 22lr, punch or velocitors.
