    I've always been under the impression the Charter Arms offering were also more of a "carry a lot, shoot a little" proposition. I've heard about more of them being shot loose than I have an L Frame or GP.

    Don’t tempt my dreams like that. A k-frameish sized LCR six shooter gives me the big wood

    Oh, man.....
    If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.

    Unconcerned with longevity? A realization very very very few of their customers will shoot more than a box of ammunition through it?
    Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.

    I'd probably pry open my dusty wallet for that with the Wheels of Justification spitting out things like "lightweight backpacking option"...

    I think if you are selling a cheap gun that shoots really expensive ammunition, that's a safe bet.

    Since I actually DO backpack, I can spin those wheels of justification awful hard. I've thought about a 3" .357 LCRx for exactly those reasons.

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

    I do, too, although I'm still pretty new to it. My son and I are doing some over-nighters and dispersed camping. I've been taking my 2" .357 LCR. There's not much in the way of dangerous critters here, though. I swapped the front sight out for a night sight. At night I put it in one of the interior tent pockets and the night sight makes it really easy to locate if I were to need it.

    As we venture further afield were there actually are dangerous critters I'll likely have to rethink that.

    For what it's worth, I live in the PNW and have cougars, black bears and meth-heads on the list. On our family trips, I'm perfectly fine with a Glock 19 with a penetrator load. My wife can shoot the G19.


    I gave up trying to make the special snowflake Glock 20 run reliably and sold it.

    For my solo trips, I carry a 4" .357.

    This, minus the Glocks

    (not that I don't like my G45).
