Anyone shot an LCR 357 yet?

[Mr.357Sig]

The new Ruger LCR chambered in .357 Mag looks interesting. The Ruger ad says it has "a smooth, easy-to-control trigger and highly manageable recoil". I find that a hard to swallow with the little revolver weighing in at a mere 17.10 ounces with a 1.88-inch barrel.

S&W Model 60s kick like a mule...and they're made of STEEL!!! I can't imagine shooting the LCR357 with a mag load would be any less painful. Maybe the Hogue grips help, but I have my doubts.

I DO like the fact that the LCR357 is NOT approved for Kalifornia sale. Hee-hee.

There for a minute I thought that was a Glock in .40S&W!!!

Nice.

With respect, If a S&W 60 kicks like a mule, you're not holding it right.

I assume it was a 60, but I could be wrong. It was a steel j-frame rental from Medlocks. Maybe the grips just sucked, but with a .357 mag load it was downright painful.

LDP you need to quit sending GM your old work pics!

My 340 is a 357mag and it only weighs 13.3 ounces.
That why I usually shoot 38's in it.


My wife shoots a model 60.
