I'm also picturing the titanium lock pin dragging a groove in the aluminum recoil shield over time, too. Then it would catch on the steel bushing for the lock pin. I passed on S&W revolvers because of their aluminum frames.

Nothing can replace my Bearcats for range fun, anyway.......

........The LCR-357 will only get shot about 8-9 boxes worth a year. Good thing it's an easy shooter.

Makes sense to me, the LCR 22 is my first 22 handgun, if I had others already I may have not purchased it.

I just happened to be close to Sportsman's Warehouse today, and I just had to check out their LCR-22s. Makes me still want one........

I looked at the display, which I know has been out at least three months. With a lot of handling, I couldn't even see a line from the lock pin, so there went that excuse. And the trigger was just a little heavier than my .357, or one that they had on display. Maybe Ruger has put tighter QC on the pull at the factory?

Plus Sportsman's has five "in the back". If RF had one of those "headbanging" Smilies, I would insert it here.......
