Got the 43C and put 200 rounds through it today. Trigger was a bit tight to start. Had issues with it not resetting in the first 30 rounds. That cleared up but the cylinder remains tight. It would not cycle Minimags at all which shocked me. They just locked up the cylinder. Aguila plated super extra went better. I am not sure if the lead build up at the inside top of the frame is normal or not. I did not shoot any un-plated bullets.
The LCR handily outshoots the 43C IMO. Cylinder dumps at 5 yards were a 4” group Ruger and 6” group S&W plus the Ruger hits to the sights. Not the mention the Ruger didn’t lock up and has been crazy reliable since day one.
The 43C is super light though and I hope it breaks in and I didn’t get a dud.
