Any thoughts on this lil' revolver?

Ray Ray has a LCR in .38sp. It's very nice. DAO with a very smooth, steady trigger pull. It's pretty nice.

standard 38s are good, +P's are okay, 357 is pain!

Practice with .38 spc

 

Carry with .357 mag

 

No hammer = jacket pocket carry. Shoot right through your pocket.

 

That's a great combination for self-defense.

 

I like the concept.

 

I fired one once, with .38 special - very light - stung a bit, but it performed.

can't disagree more

This is a 357 out of an 11 ounce, polymer gun with short grips. The 38 version (which I own and love) is the way to go. 38+P's are perfect for concealed carry.

If you have to have a 357 snubbie, get a steel framed one. Like the one for sale in the "marketplace".

.357 version is 17 oz

Ouch!!!!

 

stick with a 38 snubbie, worked for Charles Bronson.

One day when I get around to getting FL non-resident carry permit this is one of my strong considerations for carry. I've never shot a snubbie before though. Will have to try one before I buy. Was thinking about getting one with the Crimson Trace laser grip. How accurate are snubbies? Figured most shots if necessary would be at close range.

How accurate are snubbies?

 

As accurate as you can shoot. If you can learn to shoot a snubbie in DAO accuratly, your golden!

Not a big fan of S&W... So unless its a vintage one: no dice.

I've owned an LCR for about a year. It's a great gun. .38+P is plenty of power. When I carry (out of state), I use hollow points. Unless you are planning on serious combat, this lightweight revolver is great protection.
