The Ruger LCRx with 3-Inch Barrel

[FortKnox]

Just got an email from Ruger that they are coming out with an LCRx with a 3 inch barrel. Very cool.

[dcloudy777]

If they do the "kit gun" in 22, I might buy....

[TNWNGR]

I'd sooner have an SP101 with a 3" BBL than the LCR because I view the LCR as being more of a light weight, always carried but infrequently shot pocket gun. The SP101 though is a belt gun you'll comfortably run lots of rounds through. So I guess I'm underwhelmed by the news announcement.

[Garufa]

It's not much to look at....

I love my LCR but that thing is FUGLY! Wow. Sometimes it really seems like Ruger doesn't think things through. 

[Patton]

I don't think it is too ugly, but if you have never shot and handled a 3" revolver you are missing out. I saw a video of it on YouTube and it looks like it still has the short ejector rod though.

[TacoBubba]

I like it. I had a lcr but traded it for a g26. Liked the gun tho. Just not a fan of that msrp!

Better than the Chiappa Rhino.......but not by a lot.

[gun sane]

I just bought an LCR in 9mm for CC.  A 3" barrel would have killed the deal.

[hipower]

Why all the negativity for 3"? They are great. JMO

I will look at it closely when it finally appears. I would like to get hold of the LCR in 9. I haven't seen one yet.

[Tncobra]

I may get the 9mm, but I'm liking the 3incher.

Now make a .45 acp with a 3 inch!

A plastic .45 revolver would just explode.

Like a Glock? lol

[TrickyNicky]

If it comes out in .357 with fixed sights it would be perfect. I'm really wanting one now, but I'll hold out and see if they accommodate my desires...

Sadly, you and I are thinking alike. And I feel sorry for you.

It really, really needs to be available now in 357 and 9.

I'm continually impressed with what Ruger is doing with expanding the LCR line. But you are both spot on.   

[Murgatroy]

If it came out in a 3" 9mm version, I wouldn't be able to resist anymore.

[TNWNGR]

Oh I can resist just fine. The LCR's a fine little revolver, but this new whatever is an abomination. Still it won't bother me a bit if it sells like hotcakes and keeps Ruger employees on the payroll.

DING! DING! DING! AND WE HAVE A WINNWER!!!

Uh no. .45 is low pressure. It has the same muzzle energy as a 9mm but with lower pressure. You'd more likely get a problem from a 9mm.

Of choose that's all mute if you are being sarcastic, which you probably are. [emoji6]

[rbishop]

3" revolvers are the cat's meow! But I would opt for a Smith like this one-

WOW! That is a nice one! It will have to go on my wish list though. Somewhere around the 351PD. lol

Don't tell me you don't have a running list of wants that get rated and revised constantly as well.

[A.J. Holst]

Since the LCR is marketed as a lightweight carry gun, don't the adjustable rear and high rise front sites potentially get in the way?

 

Are they subliminally marketing "this can be a range / target gun"?

 

Regarding a straight comparison, I have both a 2" and 3" SP and liked the 3" better, even before it went to Gemini Custom.

Technically its all mute since this is a website.  I can't hear any of it.

Good pun. But wrong word. It's moot.   :stir:

Sorry. I couldn't resist. Old habits die hard. My wife threatens me every time I correct her.
