The new Ruger Pocket Revolver is here: Ruger LCR

[Texas_Bryan]

Looks like a nice weapon, and hopefully if they do make any more new guns its a Garand M1 bolt, like the Mini14, geared towards combat and defense.  But with the new government in place who knows.

Not a revolver fan and I actually thought them to be obsolete, for defense purposes, but if a company like Ruger is willing to invest so much in it then maybe I ought to give them a look.

I never really thought that making a polymer frame revolver would be pratical since the working parts would still have to be metal. Ruger's new product really supprised me.

I'm thinking about a revolver for my pocket as a back-up gun, since I don't find revolvers to be the best choice for primary carry, but execellent choices for back-up and pocket concealment.

This revolver will need to be priced less than about $400 for the standard version and about $600 for the CT grips version if it's going to compete sucessfully against the S&W 642, similarly equipped.

I just hope they don't have a recall on this product like their last big two.

I think the last 2 recalls are probably why this one isn't available until March. The frame is actually aluminum. It is the fire-control housing that is polymer.

I want one, even though I already have a Charter Arms Undercover that fills this role suitably. They are listed at $525 and $792, but I know in my area, the prices are always substantially cheaper than list.

Interesting concept. I think it would take some getting used to for me. I would like to try one out at the range before I'd buy.

Is this gun taller than a normal revolver?  It seems that way from the picture, but the dimensions may be misleading as it's so different.

It looks like it has more above the hand in MB' video.  It might be be a better fit for guys with large hands.

Well I know what my gun will be. I been wanting a J frame and I have just found it equal. Ruger has a great reputation with their revolvers and I am sure this one is just as good. Wow it looks great.

Also I was watching the product video on Ruger's website and they had some sort of a grip laser, is this Crimson Trace, and do they have this laser available yet to public, or with any J-Fame grip/laser system fit the LCR? if anyone knows I would love to hear more.

525$ MSRP! Thats a bit steep... Paid $360 for my Air Weight and it has been the bees knees for a pocket carry gun. For 250 I would give the LCR  a chance, but at that price I will wait for CDNN to put them on sale

Yesterday I thought, wow, I can't wait to get one. Today I'm thinking, I'll wait and see if there's a recall. Maybe I'll get an SP101 instead. The deep fluting on the cylinder reminds me of the 4-shot Colt "cloverleaf" revolver from about 130 years ago.
