    At 22 replies to the poll, the “my gun is fine” percentage is quite encouraging. I have ample SP101 revolvers, so, am not a candidate for adding an LCR-series anytime soon, but, do lean toward recommending Ruger, for folks who handle my SP101 revolvers, and want something lighter in weight. Or, I may decide I need a light-weight .32 for myself. (I have two .32 H&R all-stainless S&W J-snubs.)

    Bought my current Ruger LCR .38 #5701 in 2019. It is up to 804 rounds with no issues. I only shoot Wadcutters, for carry and practice.

    Previously to that I owned a Ruger LCR .357. It had 310 rounds when I traded it for the .38. Also no issues. Should have just kept if for practice and carried the .38, but I are dumb like that.

    I have:

    One .22 LCR - zero issues.

    Two .327 LCRs - zero issues.

    I've had all three for about a year and a half.

    My 3" 22 had a loose front sight that a replacer roll on did not fix but otherwise it was fine.

    LCRx .38, no issues.

    Looking at Ruger's own YouTube videos on disassembly and reassembly, I don't want to try it.

    My LCR .22 won’t eject spent rounds but I have not had a chance to send it back yet. The cylinder is also has more front to rear movement than seems normal.

    Well crap. I just broke my LCR22. I was checking cylinder movement and dry fired it a couple times and now the trigger is stuck back. I can push it forward but it sticks the next time. Guess I'll check Ruger Customer Service.

    I purchased a 9 mm lcr a couple years ago and with standard pressure 115 or 124 grain ammo, I had a very hard time extracting the cases—like had to punch them out with a brass rod. I did not try any 147 grainers, and it sounds like those might be the ticket for the 9 mm version. I could have called Ruger and sent it back and they would’ve taken care of me or had the cylinder reamed or done it myself, but I had too many other projects on my plate and just ended up moving the gun along to find something else. I have confidence in the LCR and Ruger customer service and am on the hunt for a .357 version (to shoot .38 specials mostly) and a 22 lr version.

    I've had several LCRs, only one of which had a problem. I bought it in a private sale for cheap, and when I went to shoot it for the first time I got light off-center primer strikes. When I returned it to Ruger for service they said it was a manufacturing defect and sent me a new replacement gun. I assume the guy who I bought it from just didn't want to go through the trouble of returning it to Ruger.

    I have an LCRx in .38 Special and it has been great (for what it is). Prior to that I had the regular 2" version. It too was great but sold it to offset the cost of the 3" LCRx, didn't figure I needed both. Realistically I kind of wish I had kept both as the 2" version was better for dropping in a pocket to walk the mailbox, etc. No doubt the LCRx is easier to shoot well with the exposed hammer spur and longer sight radius.
