    (Dunno if the aluminium ones are somehow better, but I doubt it.)

    As neat as the idea is, the trigger pull killed any interest for me.

    Good to know.

    This one is 24 ounces.

    At least for me I think I would use my Sky Hawk.

    Six shot 2” 9mm revolver.
    Man, that Skyhawk is so awesome. I had one on order at a local shop that’s on Nighthawk’s dealer list but theybwere never able to get one in stock.

    Pre pandemic there were a fair number of lightly used ones on Gunbroker.

    The LCR9 is as good or better of a gun in all respects except for the 5 versus 6 cylinder.

    LCR9 is smaller and lighter.
    At least for my guns, the LCR9 makes higher velocities with same ammunition.
    The LCR9 is very shootable.

    I prefer moon clips for revolver reloading which the LCR9 has.

    The LCR9 trigger is about as good as the Korth, IMO.

    So that only really leaves the extra shot capacity in the Korth favor.

    That’s why I’m keen on testing that Taurus 856. Same weight as my LCR9 and is six shot 38. Trigger is a little worse but usable.

    I know… but I’m assuming that’s for a 357 magnum cylinder to convert to 9mm since pressures are similar.

    I think that the 38 special cylinder might not handle 9mm as well…

    I sent an email (last month) asking about an LCR38 cylinder and did not get a reply from pinnacle. Will try calling later this week.
