Any LCR fans?

[Dave J]

...you can get an LCR with XS sights, good grips and a decent trigger. Sure, not everyone's favorite sight...

FWIW, Novak's has front sight options for the LCR now with a big tritium or fiber optic dot, that's in a conventional square sight, instead of the rounded XS profile.

Of course, I noticed this in the Brownell's catalog about ten minutes after I'd finished installing an XS front sight on my LCR.

Story of my life, right there.

I don't think the recoil is the same between a LCR and a J- frame scandium when shooting 38. I think the LCR has more felt recoil.

I consider a CT laser mandatory on any snubbie.

If God wanted me to shoot revolvers lighter than a steel-cylindered Airweight, he'd have put more padding over the bone at the base of my thumb.

Good one Tam. The S&W J Frame Airweight is the lightest 38 Special I'll play around with but I'm more comfortable with the weight of a Charter Arm's all steel Undercover. Of course the problem with that is the Charter Arms Undercover isn't a S&W M-36 or M-37...sigh...

My S&W 638 meets my needs and I have had it many years. No desire or need for a LCR .38/.357.

On the other hand a LCR .22 is sparking some interest as well as a SR.22. Might give up my .22/45 for that pair.

The out of the box trigger feels better on the LCR, but the sights track funny and there's a weird false reset on the trigger that locks the cylinder up if you pull the trigger from it. Similarly short stroking a smith only skips a chamber.

13 ounces for a .38? WAY too heavy. Here is a .357 at 11 ounces. True with a HOT .357 round it feels like getting hit in the palm with a bat by Hank Arron.

If you shoot that riboflavin-framed .357 enough to maintain anything remotely like proficiency with it, you'll be the first person I've met who owns one that does so.
