Ruger to release a Brand New 8-Shot Revolver

[JonInWA]

I also agree; 4"/4"+ for .357, .38 Special +P for anything shorter. And I also prefer .38 Special+P in my 4" Security Six. Best, Jon

Try Buffalo Bore full power Mags loaded with the Barnes 140gr in an LCR. It'll make a believer out of you.

A little snappy?

A little snappy?

Yeah. Amazingly so. I don't really mind shooting anything rated +P in my LCR. Some Magnum loads are tolerable too. But the Buffalo Bore sets new levels for recoil. Chrony results show just over 1,300 FPS from my revolver. That's a 140gr bullet from a snub!

That'll teach me to buy the wrong stuff...

Buffalo Bore does offer a 140gr "tactical" load that should be somewhere around 1,100 FPS from the 2" barrel. That's probably actually a saner idea.

It would be interesting if someone made 10mm autorim cases.

I recently picked up a Ruger LCR 9mm and I was thinking the same thing for 9mm. The short cases extract much more reliably than .38s.

If you're looking for something shorter to extract easier than 38 Special, you can use 38 Short Colt. CAS shooters use it in their 357 SAs.

Hodgdon has reloading data for 93 and 135gr bullets.

Wasn’t that “9mm Federal”?

Imagine this...a failed Charter Arms project.
