ruger LCR 9

[tatt00edangel]

Any opinions or experience with a Ruger LCR 9 revolver? I'm considering one just to have a revolver in 9 mm.

No experience with the 9mm version here, but my wife owns one in 38, and I used to own the 22lr version. The LCR in general is an excellent little snubbie with a good trigger. My wife's 38 is very accurate for what it is. My 22lr, not so much. I will get the 9mm version, but I am trying to wait for Ruger to make it in the 3" barrel LCRx version.
As a side note, I have another 9mm revolver......the Taurus model 905. Although I like the gun, the trigger is terrible compared to the trigger on the LCR. And the Taurus is all steel, so it is heavy. Far too heavy for CCW.

I have handled LCR 9mm at out of state gun shows and find them very handy. I ordered one from Davidson's for $503 less tax and fees the day after they were added to “The List”. I also own the Ruger Blackhawk 357/9mm Convertible with 4 5/8 barrel, which may be a better choice for a first 9mm revolver. Being built on the 357 LCR frame the 9mm LCR is overbuilt and should last a lifetime even shooting +P 9mm. As a civilian contractor in Iraq and Afghanistan I wish I had one of these inconspicuously tucked in my cargo pocket for peace of mind, 9mm was literally lying around everywhere there…

Cheers,

Thanks for the info, not looking for another carry, just like the idea of a revolver in 9mm. Are there plans for a 3" barrel?

What other 9 mm revolvers have you guys shot?

I just bought one today....I wanted it so I could just use 9mm...The availability and cost is better with 9mm vs 38....I am ordering additional moon clips for it...I think is an interesting gun.

Have you shot one yet? The reviews I saw said that it shot low.

Are there any replacement grips for the LCR. The stock grips seem like they would snag on clothing.
