 FQ, 357 Sig is a Semi Auto round. The R in LCR stands for Revolver. It's doable with moon clips but I doubt they would bother for a round like that.

Might crack that tupperware,..... ::)

Seriously, IMHO, the .357 is one of the best SD rounds made. If Ruger thinks the LCR can safely "handle" it, they should consider it.

I would like to read the "skinny" on that also....

If Ruger puts it out in the LCR platform I would sure be getting in line for one. That's the only reason I won't get the LCR now. I don't like .38 special. Nothing particular I just don't like the round. I've shot a lot of .38 and .357mag through a S&W model 28 Highway Patrolman  and the .38s just never felt right. Granted in a heavier gun the comparison is probably nullnvoid but still. If I was going to carry a small revolver like this I want as much power coming out of the muzzle as I can control and hit the target with. And to me regardless of how many thugs are no longer breathing thanks to the .38, I'll stick with the .357 magnum all the same.

This is why I asked about Sig or mag. I like tupperware as much as the next guy and probably more, but I am curious about its ability to handle .357 mag in the frame as well as recoil in the light weight. I've shot .357 in a Titanium snub nosed and it was not fun. Ok for one cylinder to function check and then practice with .38s, but I would still lean towards a conventional J frame.
FQ13 who is willing to be convinced otherwise.

I wouldn't want to shoot this one. I've shot the LCR with plain jane .38 specials, you felt it. Similar to my Taurus m85 w/.357. I imagine that with +P would sting, and with .357 would down right hurt.

Charter Arms makes a revolver that can chamber auto rounds w/o moon clips, I don't see why Ruger couldn't.  Not sure I'd want to experience a 357 sig out of an LCR on either end of the gun.
