Finally decided on a revolver, Ruger LCR .357mag (steel frame) Now, who has one in stock? I see them on GunBroker, but prefer to buy from someone in NJ.

Hit up the price request form. .38 Special is more than enough in a LCR though!

I have the LCR in 38 special. Shooting +P's is okay for a few rounds, but I DO NOT recommend this gun in 357. Buy the 38, you love it!

i was going to buy the 357 bc it has a steel frame instead of alloy. i would be shooting .38 thru it and .357 for home defense/ccw (if needed).

Shoot mine, I'll be at the Bullet Hole on the 26th. Or Fort Dix on the 30th.

You do not want to be shooting .357 mag in your house unless you plan on ear drum transplants. I've shot this gun in 38sp. Trust me - it's more than enough. Your hand will thank you.

 

I've shot Ray's and agree with him.

I heard shooting .357 out of that is just painful...

wasnt planning on shooting .357s out of it. i figured the extra weight of a steel frame would help. worst case, i would consider a S&W 640 instead.

Buy what you want. I have shot the Smith Ultralight in 357, with 357 and it's managible. I wouldn't spend a day at the range doing it. If you hit up the dealer request you should get some rapid responces. I saw one at Belleplain Supply a couple weeks ago, I don't know if your near Cape May County though.

Hey, if he wants the 357 LCR then have at it! I'm just trying to let him know that it's NOT going to be pleasant. +P's are stingy out of mine, and I can't imagine wanting to up the pain level with 357 stuff. Not to mention he'll be shooting HD loads which are even more painful.

Like I said before, shoot mine or another light framed 38 and judge for yourself.

went to BH today, not interested in the LCR anymore, didnt feel right.

thank god, so now what are we lookin at playa?

semi-autos. i think the revolver will come AFTER my 1st three permits are used up. considering a G19 for my 1st gun, then P229 & last a .45. i was COMPLETELY disappointed being treated like a second class citzen @ the BH and walked out b4 looking @ another 9mm or a 45.

Welcome to the club, PM me if you want me to go with you somewhere else.

I have it in 38 +P and I'm telling you, thats painful enough

Yup, he's getting an SP101 with a 2inch barrel.

What about a gp100 357 how does that compare shooting?

A GP100 shoots sweet with 357 Mag. I have one with 6" barrel and it shoots nice with 357 Mag. This is a totally different gun than LCR 357.

Apples and Oranges Blair, we're talkin bout a belly gun. The GP100 is a home defense, hunting, and plinking gun.
