The LCR gets pretty damn good velocity actually:

9mm seems to be the ideal 'sweet spot' in between .38 special and .357 mag for a J frame / LCR.
That's interesting.
So the next question; has anyone tested terminal performance with some of these bullets from the snubby 9?
I'd be more interested in a 9mm revolver if Ruger had shortened the cylinder and lengthened the barrel accordingly. They could have gained a half inch more barrel that way without changing the overall size of the gun.
Or, maybe better still, a cylinder and frame shortened but with a 1.87" barrel thereby giving a smaller package overall.

I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.

If I remember correctly, somebody pointed out that 9mm Federal Rimmed would chamber in revolvers chambered for both .38 Short Colt and .38 S&W. I believe that 9mm is well over twice the pressure of a .38 S&W and several times that of a .38 Short Colt. The idea that someone might put a 9mm Federal Rimmed in a 1870s vintage revolver might have scared Federal off.
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
