Ruger LCR 9mm Review

[Wheeler]

I was referring to speed strips I typically see carried with snub nose.



I don't have a specific beef with speedloaders, aside from their increased size over moon clips.

I see. That clears it up. Any concealment issues swapping from those flat speed strips to those bulky moonclips?

Can you just drop 9mm rounds into the chambers, sans moon-clip? Will they headspace and fire that way? I realize one would have to then poke the empties out of the chambers with a pen or something, but it would be nice to have that flexibility if you didn't have any moon-clips.

I haven't used speed strips before. Moon clips aren't particularly bulky, they're only 1.1" wide and 1.1" tall. It's not like someone would know what they were just seeing a 1x1 object in your pocket.

It's not something I've done but I've read of others doing it.

They position my hand perfectly.

Interesting, my feeling is that what the LCR is missing is a decent boot grip, not a longer one. I know Ruger sells a boot grip, but it is rubber, and I want something like hard plastic, G-10, or wood. If VZ started making a boot grip for the LCR that would greatly increase my desire for one, but as a pocket gun the rubber grips are a negative for me.
