This lcr revolver has grown on me and has gone from wierd and ugly to cool and kick ***. What do you all think? I think the 357mag version did it for me lol. I love the magnum ctg

Cool

Cool. I have the 3sp. If I had it to do over, would buy the .357 but would load it with +p's. I would just feel better about the extra strength of the barrel and cylinder and comfortable shooting +p 38 rounds at the range.

You are asking this on a Ruger forum however. Keep that in mind.

The LCR is function over form. For me it is a lighter pocket carry revolver and that is why I bought it. I much prefer the looks of my SP and if I belt carry it's the SP as I only own pocket and belly band holsters for the LCR. To me it is a tool and that is why I own it. It isn't something I feel the need to go out and buy a set of exotic hardwood grips to dress it up.

I think the LCR has a cool "Star Wars" sort of look to the gun. I like it. Would love to see a scaled up version of it in .44 Spl, too!

I have never thought of it as being ugly or cool looking.I bought mine for one purpose to carry for protection. It's a tool designed for that purpose and that's all I ever thought of it to be.I'm happy with my 38spl but would have rather of had the 357 if they were available at the time. Though it maybe a bit odd looking it works well and that's all I ever worried about.

I agree 100%!! However, I can also say that my LCR has a better trigger, better front sight, and the Hogue grips tame recoil better than my S&W j-frame. I shoot it better, therefore it become down right "beautiful" in my book.:D

I picked up one in December. I got the .357 version for the longer ejector rod and this type so I might break the habit of pulling my weapon and cocking the weapon, a habit I picked up from my old police days with a S&W model 15. When it comes back I might even take it to the range for the first time.

I'm not being sarcastic, but what does "looks" have to do with saving you butt? I bought a .38 +P LCR when they first came out. I practice with it weekly at my gun club. There is not a single thing that I do not love about this gun. Currently I have about 1200 rounds through it. I carry almost everyday and nobody gets to see it. Ugly is not in the equation.
Oh yea, I almost forgot, my LCR does have those "ugly" Houge rubber grips. Can't beat'um.
