Ruger LCR?

[mtnbkr]

I want to like my Apollo for the LCR, but the very tall sight channel makes the holster wider than it needs to be. On my narrow waist, that’s not ideal.

I think it was the sight channel that did it for me as well. Damn thing is tall enough for suppressor-height sights.

How narrow is your waist? I'm 5'6 165 and the Apollo's not an issue for me. I'm just curious, I have no professional dog in this fight.

My waist is 31". It's not a total dealbreaker but I don't understand why there's such a big sight channel. It pushes the grip out.

The thicker soft pocket holsters don’t work as well for me, but might with different clothing/body shapes. Mika’s seem popular here: https://mikaspocketholsters.com/

Seconding Mika. Have my .22 LCR in one, right now. If choosing between round cut and square, round tends to fit most trouser pockets best so I'd start there. I personally own both cuts and almost always grab the round.

REALLY wish their web site was a mite more informative....

Are you running .327 Fed Mag in it or something else?

I went with the H&R Magnum load for what I am using it for.

New LCR owner here. I'm about 150 rounds in and trying to figure out POA/POI regulation. IIRC here and over in the ammo section there was talk that a 148 WC might regulate, but that didn't seem to work. The paper target is cast and powder coated 158 gr SWC with 2.8 gr Clay Dot. The cardboard target is 148 gr DEWC with 3.1 gr Titegroup (a Lyman recommended accuracy load). Both powder puff loads. Both groups at 7 yards.

I have not decided what carry load, yet, but was hoping for a good outcome with the DEWC and would then settle there off Doc JKR's recommendation.

Is the next step to go to the fiber optic sight?





Happy shooting, Jerry

I have two .38 Special LCRs, both with the fiberoptic front sights, and both shoot POA = POI with 148gr wadcutters.

I'd actually hoped for typical snubby .38 Special POI/POA regulation, which IME with S&W snubs has seemed to usually be best with 158gr LSWCHP, but they (in the Remington version) shoot high and somewhat right in these LCRs.

Next tried Gold Dot short barrel 135gr+P JHP (which I'd hoped would be right on), but again, no go; shot to the right too.

My two LCR examples are right on with Precision Delta 148gr wadcutters.

(Dunno about any other wadcutter brands, haven't tried any others, and I have no affiliation or other association with Precision Delta, just read about them here.)

FWIW.

In my .38 LCR with fiber front:

158gr swc shoot high
100gr frangible shoot way low
Aguila 130gr shoots just right
Wolf 130gr shoots about right, but had to beat the ejector rod to get casings out?


Defensive ammo:
Hornady 110, bith +p and standard, shoot pretty much right on
HST Micro 130gr shoots absolutely POI/POA driving the dot, and excellent accuracy without excessive recoil. My new carry load.

Guess I'll have to try those.
