Do LCR's still have an internal lock? My google-fu really sucks and I can't find a 2018 answer to this question.
No. Not sure when but they stopped that a few years ago.
I had an LCR a many, many years ago, but I only shot it a few times and sold it for what I had in it. Like Mickey Knox said of his previous thoughts on key lime pie, I'm a different man than I was then, so perhaps it's time to give the LCR a fresh chance...probably 8 shot .22LR trim. Now, what grips? Why isn't there an LCR picture thread?
Yes; yes you do.

Because they make a Glock look like Gal Gadot by way of comparison? Nothing against the poly Rugers function-wise, but hoo boy; fugly stick.

Beauty is in the eye of the gun holder, specifically the metal part of the Smith J-frames that stings your hand, which is nice and covered with rubber by the LCR. Having owned both, LCR all day, no disrespect to the 642.
I don’t need a supermodel, just thiccness in the right places.

Nothing wrong with preferring the LCR; a gun designed to be carried a lot, and looked at a little.
I love the running gear in my wife’s jeep too, especially in winter. I don’t need a picture thread of the undercarriage though.

Ok Rich, it's funny you quoted a 3 month old post of mine...... because I finally got off my ass and ordered that holster last week, haha.Yes; yes you do.

ETA: once the holster gets here, the last 38 J frame is leaving for a 38 LCR, and I'm probably sending a spare pump shotgun down the road to get the 22 LR version.

Almost resurrected this one on my own, thanks guys. Just got a 9mm for steal. Bought my .327 back last week and LLOVEE that thing!! My .327 wont shoot .32 ACP’s at all. The .32 mag is the bomb.
I am trying the 9mm again. I didn’t like it first time around, but I am gonna spend more time with it, just cause ammos cheap, easy reloads. I’ll give it a “shot.”
Does the absence of the lock allow you to replace the hammer spring without full dissasembly?
