Solid choice brother, i just picked up a Taurus 856 defender 3” today, considering grabbing an LCR in 38 or 22mag as a 2” snubbie for pocket carry, i also live/work in a liberal not so gun friendly area so i feel you on the concealment aspect. Gotta protect ourselves and our loved ones, self defense is a god given right to all. God bless and stay safe.

Intelligent & factual based review. I own the LCR myself and never feel under equipped when carrying it. It’s the perfect choice for non permissive environments and one can often forget they are carrying one due to both its balance and weight.

Fantastic review. Concise and well delivered. Kudos

Outstanding down to earth review of a great gun. I own the .357 Magnum version and it's fun to shoot, I sometimes enjoy shooting the .357 rounds but mostly stay with 38 special plus p. The 110 grain in .357 is actually a lot of fun and not much more kick than a hot plus p. I have boot grips and also a full size grip for my LCR but always go back to the original hogue tamer, it tends to grow on you after you've carried for a while.

great video! no one usually compares size to semi autos so this one is above about all. thanks for the info

Nice concise review of your LCR. I've got a 22lr and the .327 models and the 22wmr is likely my next acquisition. I love these wheel guns.

This is a great review! Nice and to the point about your experience. I have the LCR 9mm and love it!

I was fortunate enough to get this revolver recently. And even more fortunate to get ....ammo!

Excellent video...to the point, no BS. Thank you!

Your review is very well done. Giving me more reasons to pick this firearm up and rotate it with my Shield for ccw. I love the simplicity and reliability of revolvers though, outside of this Ruger, i haven't found any revolvers (in a normal price range ) that are ergonomic. Hope to see more of your videos. Best wishes!!

I think I just hit 10 years with my LCR 357. I have a lot of Glocks and some others too...but the LCR makes it in a lot of times as a BUG or a primary gun for working out, running, and in the woods given I can use snapshot, 357, and/or 38's of all variances. I also own a SW 442...and after a few thousand rounds...the trigger is 'almost' as good as the LCR but still not the same. I run the XS big dot sight and the Crimson Trace Grips on all my carry guns - including the LCR. Your review was wonderful - in the end...when I'm old...I get the revolvers will still be around in my life when the semi's are long gone. Simple, effective, reliable....the rest is just fun....the LCR truly is a great gun.

That was an outstanding review! You have a great speaking voice and manner.

Wonderful insight to your reasoning and great review.

Very practical and informative video. Great job. Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely great review subbed

FANTASTIC review! Thank you sir🙏🏻✌🏻👊🏻

Nice Review. Informative, to the point, and well paced. At the range have working on LCR in .357 with .38 Spl +P everyday ammo including Rem green & white box SJHP and Win WB HP in 125 gr +P for more availability and consistency w/practice ammo like regular .38 Spl Win W/B 130 gr FMJ. Also practice w/Speer SB 135 gr +P HP and Hornady 110 gr +P FTX as well as the 38 Spl FTX you are using. Thanks.

Great review, enjoyed it!

enjoyed your look at the Ruger

It's a GREAT revolver to carry.

This is a very good review. I own a S&W Airweight Bodyguard (1956). I too enjoy revolvers. I Have to say though, my Shield is my primary choice of carry these days. I don't think you can go wrong with your LCR.

Great gun. One of my favorites

Thank you for your honest review.

I run with the same combo. And it is so easy to carry every day with no discomfort . The holster is great.

Great video on a great gun. I carry the LCR too. Have been for a long time. Thanks.

This review is DOPE! Lowkey made me want to buy this gun lol ! I’m def subbing you off this.

Great review man. Thank you.

This is my around the house carry, love it...since I dont care about printing at/around the house...I use an OWB Galco leather paddle holster. I use short barrel Gold Dots, 135gr +P...they get the job done.

Love mine. I invested in two things to make my LCR better. Underwood Xtreme Defender ammo all copper spun rounds and I changed out the front sight for a fiber-optic green sight . Love it and hard to argue with not carrying it often either pocket or appendix.

Great video. I grew up with revolvers, and I love their simplicity. Wether it’s a middle of the night break in while are emerging from sleep or a situation on the street, with a revolver, there is no safety to click off, no hammer to draw back, just bring the weapon into your hand and you are ready. I live in Florida, where on the average I am wearing a short sleeve shirt and shorts. This limits CC options. This Ruger would fit easily into a pocket. I just need to decide between .38 or.357.

Awesome review keep up with the great video

Nice video. Clear and concise.

I carry the same LCR everyday in a pocket holster. Great gun, trigger is great and the extra soft area on the grip for the fleshy area between my thumb and index finger sure allows me to shoot it more when practicing.

First time I shot it with my glove on because the recoil was a little too painful for me and I could not even find where all the bullets went from about 3 yards away. After 50 rds, I was done and ready to sell it. But I decided to give it one more chance, I practiced with dummy rounds with dry firing. After a few mouth, and I shot it again without the glove, and I got about 5 inch group from 7 yards away, and I know I still suck, but sucked a lot less than the first time. So the key is the trigger pull and practice, and I think I am going to keep it.

Great video man very informative

Good revolver; and I liked the inclusion of the Ka-Bar T.D.I. in that one shot. It's the best back up weapon knife that I've found.

Informative and based, thank you sir.

I love my LCR Ruger great gun🔫

Excellent to the point review.

Great video!! I just purchased an LCR chambered for 9mm ACP. it was great to see your side by side comparison with a Glock 19 because that is my main carry weapon. It is great to be able to shoot the same 9mm ACP out of both weapons. I need to use moon clips with the LCR but that is not a problem. I can carry the LCR in an ankle holseter and the Glock in an IWB. Great weapons systems!!! I also love RUGERS and have an old Ruger Speed Six chambered for .357 magnum.......too heavy but a reliable cannon. Thanks again.

A nice review

Excellent job. Good run down.

Excellent video

Holy smokes that was a very clean and well thought out presentation. SUBBED. LCR is lookin’ more sexy every time. Please add make more videos!!

I like the LCR a lot, but my edc is a Ruger SP101 loaded with 110 grain Win. .357 mag hollow points. It's a heavy gun for it's size, but a good gun belt relieves much of that. I like the recoil reduction steel gives. With a 10 lb hammer spring, Hogue grips, and a Meprolite night sight, it's ready for carry. Good vid, BTW.

Wow, great video!

I just purchased the LCR .22 Mag And intend on shooting it this weekend. I wanted a small easy to carry weapon that is quick on the draw. Just playing with it I already like it. Ruger makes a great product so I had no issues with the purchase. Thank you.

Very open and down to earth. I have the 357 mag and the 9mm with moon clips. I'm buying the 3 inch 357 kit gun. Great vidio.

Had mine (a .357 model) for some time. Pimped it out with a Lasermax CF-LCR CenterFire sight and a ERGO DELTA GRIP. Fits my big hand well and gives my pinky some purchase. Looks like a chubby little Batarang. Weird looking but I love it!

very good review ... have a number of weapons including Glock 26 and M&P Shield .. but I find myself hoping it is the Ruger LCR in my hands if assaulted .. it is just very accurate and totally reliable .. and I feel like I could trust it more in close quarters or shot through a pocket .. anyway, appreciate the review

Great review! I’ve had my S&W 36 since 1993, been a great edc gun for me! Unfortunately that Ruger wasn’t out when I bought my Smith otherwise I would of also givin it a look

The LCR .327 is now available (327/357 are similar in short barrels) and it gives you 6 rds not just 5. XS makes a big dot glow front site, no gunsmithing required. Sticky Fingers pocket holster (size MD-5) is perfect.

I have this in .22LR and .327 Magnum. I like the feel of the stock grip, but got a Secret Service rosewood grip for the .327 (EDC) for minimal size and so it won’t tug at my clothing. I do wish the trigger guard were a little smaller like on the J-frame. 1/4 inch smaller would make a difference, allowing the hand to be higher and lessen the felt recoil a bit.

Nice review!

Good review

Dude, are you auditioning for a reporter position? LOL Nice review. I'd hire you in a heartbeat. :D

'Sensible, well-spoken review. I'm waiting for delivery of my second LCR, after foolishly selling my first many years ago.

Great review and video style, you need to post more videos.

Yea nice review n presentation

que maravilla ese revolver, muy lindo el video tambien muy bueno un abrazo

Great rewiew.

I like mine in 38. It's an American round that has been used in law enforcement, security and military for a long time and it seemed to work well.

good review Sean, can’t argue with anything you covered. You might have told us the price for us lazy guys not wanting to look it up ourselves. I hope you have the optional liability insurance policy in the unfortunate case you have to use this Ruger.

I just picked mine up, have yet to take it to the range. Soon.

Only got the .357 model to have an extra option for ammo. Being able to run .357, .38, or .38 + P really came in handy during the pandemic ammo shortage.

Mine is in 9mm i love it came with 3 moon clips also ordered 5 more

Excellent review. No fluff or posturing and convinced me of my need to purchase one. I'm not asking you to reveal where you live, but I cannot imagine living in an "anti-gun area" of the country. I live in Tennessee, as my name suggests-"The Patron State of Shootin' Stuff" and guns are a part of everyday life here. Anyway Yank, great, great review.

This gun is amazing. Yes, it hurts to shoot after a while, but it’s purpose is to save your life. not shoot 500 rounds at the range in a afternoon. The grip does sit in my hand at a angle that makes me shoot slightly higher than normal. I have overcome that with a bit of practice. Big fan of this revolver

I admit that I watched this video because of the Cold Steel "Tuff-Lite" knife. I'm a knife guy every bit as much as a gun-nut and IMO the "Tuff-Lite" is a much under-rated self defense knife. There are places where you can't carry a more substantial blade due to ridiculous laws, and this knife makes a great self defense weapon in those areas. Still,...good review with solid reasoning.

I recently purchased the lcrx .357. I've fired both .38 and .357 but I prefer the .38. So far I've only fired about 150 rounds. I need to get a container of 500 so I can really practice.

You’re smart to go with the 38 special, there’s great +P rounds out there now that preform exceptionally! I’ve shot the 357 LCR with full power mag loads and it was absolutely miserable and was starting to get me to flinch even though I’ve never had a flinch before even shooting 44mag! 👎🏻😕

very good video

What specific model is that tagua holster? I know it is the 4 and 1 but I don't see anything on their website for revolvers.

I have the 9mm lcrx. Likening it.

Sights ? Nah crimson trace and shoot from the hip with no problem. Good review as I also have the same LCR and my wife with the 8 round LCR .22 . Great light pocket guns and like you said , without the need to dress for your carry.

lol my lcrx is also experiencing alot of chips in the finish. Kinda sucks but works like a charm!

Hey what holster is that, the leather one?

i have the 9mm and love it.

That short barrel Speer GD ammo is 124 grn not 129. I believe.

I’ll tell you, I have a Tom Brown Tracker knife and I’m sure you could make three LCRs out of that one knife!

Where can I get the Tagua 4 in 1 holster for the LCR like the one like you show in this video.

Are you from Connecticut?

I Have An LCR .38, Mine Has A C/T Red Lasergrip On It & I Use Hornady Critical Defense 110gr HP's...

👍

I mean unless the 4oz are absolutely necessary it doesn't really make sense to limit yourself to just .38spl. Even if you never want to fire .357 the few extra ounces should help in control of some hotter .38spl rounds. .357mag really ain't that bad.. It's not a plinker but once properly trained it's some good assurance your 5 rounds would eliminate any threat or threats.

Rat folder and tuff lite? He checks out

It's very nice gun to carry. It is forbidden to carry a gun although for self defense purpose in my country.

I have an LCR, I have a Ergo Grip Delta Grip on mine.

I loved your review on this. I had one in 9mm once but I got rid of it because I was concerned about crimp jumping. Also, the LCR in 9mm kicks like a mule. You have a really good voice for this. You should be reading audio books or something. Why don't you see if you can get a job in broadcasting or something?

I am not a big guy so how would it kick if I shoot this

Question mark: why is the 9mm version much heavier? Answer: apparently they use a stainless steel frame on the 9mm, but aluminum with the 38 Special. Second question: if the aluminum rated 38 Special can handle +P, why can't the 9mm handle regular 9mm (not +P)? Thank you very much for the size comparisons, and thank you for carrying to help keep us customers safer. I will probably start out with Hornady Lite as well. It seems very capable for self defense while kicking a lot less.

Great review! I want the 327 version of this. 6 rounds instead of 5

Thanks for the review. What Spyderco are you carrying?

I'd feel fully confident with mine, with the exception of grizzly bear country.

Why not just get a ruger lcr chambered in 357 magnum and also shoot 38 special ? You get to shoot 2 calibers in 1 , seems like a no brainer to me.honestly i don't know why they keep making revolvers in 38 special.

💓💓💓🇺🇸🇹🇭

I know this is an older video, but I just came across it. I love the IDEA of carrying an LCR (or similar revolvers), but I always seem to find reasons not to. Pocket carry is the best scenario I can think of...but even then, I'd take a Sig P290RS (6+1 of 9mm in a DAO semi-auto) over any revolver. Or maybe even a P365.

Buy a SCCY Pistol 10+1 shoots like a revolver. READ THIS : SCCY vs. Sig P365 & Others The SCCY CPX-2 has a long ,very smooth,trigger, {very stage-able} is the same height, & same width, 0.1 longer, 4oz. heavier, has FULL steel Rails for a nice tight fit on the slide, built better, can shoot 9mm +P's, 10+1, comes with 2 mags {flat & pinky rest base plates for each mag} , is extremely accurate, has an easy long smooth D/A trigger pull & has a life time, no questions asked warranty, that follows the gun, NOT the purchaser, & is only $249. {sometimes $199 on sale} Extra mags cost only $15 {10 rounds}. So, no disrespect meant at all but I would highly suggest you give the SCCY a fair chance as well. { It's like a 10+1 revolver } You'll be very happy. I've had mine since 2015, NOT ONE HICCUP !!!!! { That's True Calib } bought 2 extra mags {4 total } runs very reliable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If SCCY ever changes that trigger, Sig & any other Manufacturer done for. { On sale now $199 @ sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com 5/25/2019 }

+P hurts like hell. With .357 Magnum you'd better have damned strong wrists.

Have this with the laser
