Handled a 9mm LCR today....

[XDforever]

and I LIKED it!! It had the exposed hammer so that makes it an LCR x right? It was an okay price NIB $397 + 3% for CC and 8.25% tax. I didn't get it as it was the first time I had handled one. But it felt great in my hand. I was at the Mesquite, TX gun show.

I'm thinking this is going to be my next gun purchase. It will take the place of my S&W 642 j frame. It will be a good pick up for me as it will also share ammo with my Shield 9mm and my Mod 2 SC 9mm.

Dang it! Now I am wishing I had gone ahead and gotten it.

$397 new? That's very good.

Around here the retailers have the 9mm LCR (not LCRx) for $600+ after tax. I just checked a week or two ago, and they were sold out. I have a 9mm LCR and am delighted with it.

Wow, that was a good price. I would go picked it up for that low price. Now if I could just find an LCRX 327 for the same price I would be delighted.

I'm at a stalemate trying to decide which LCR I'd rather have, the 9mm or the .327. There's benefits to both and I guess the determining factor will be price. If I could get the 9mm LCR for $400, yes, I'd take it. I have yet to see the .327 LCR's go for that low a price.

9mm REVOLVER !!!!! Tell me about it.. Many nay sayers but I am a believer!

I started with a SP101 9mm, put in some MCarbo treatment to get it down to 4.7# DA. It shoots one ragged hole at 7 yds ... better than I can do with pistols..

Just took home yesterday a LCR-9 with 6 clips with an extra small grip for $360.... used, of course, but like new. Owner told me that it has only seen two range time, and the condition looks like it. Couldn't pass it up.

$390, if new, would be a killer deal.. good luck if it is still available....

I, too, like a 9mm in a short barreled revolver. I have the 2-inch barreled LCR and it has a nice trigger.

 

[tomrkba]

I have one. It's okay. I like it because it works with cheap 9mm ammo. But, other than that, it's just another snubby revolver.

 

[Apple a Day]

Just another snubby revolver!?! Sir, that's like saying 'another Caribbean sunset'!

 

[buck460XVR]

Looked at one at my LGS just the other day too. They quoted me around $560 OTD, matching Bud's Gunshop online price. Way too much IMHO, but I probably would have grabbed one at the $397 price.

My "dream" LCR concealed hammer revolver would have three features: .327 Federal Magnum chambering; a 3" barrel and cost $397.00.

Now that Ruger has a 3" magnum frame for the LCRx, a .327 version should be just around the corner. Do you think they'll ever release a 3" version of the original LCR?

I could see them making a model with a bobbed hammer in limited quantities, probably a Lispey's special.

Ruger's not really into bobbed hammers tho.
