|  New LCR-22 - woo hoo!
Even though a .22 revolver was not my top priority, one of our local gun shops is closing down and practically giving them away. I just couldn't resist.
Unfortunately here in the Republik of Kalifornia, I can't pick it up for 10 days. But they let me hold it and it sure felt nice in my hand.

I want an LCR-22, wish they made one in .22 WMR.
I think it would make an excellent plinker and a light duty carry or "pack" gun.

Congrats on the 22 LCR. I had some problems with my first one, but Ruger made good and the replacement is great.
I see you already have a LCR in your signature. I got the 357, then the 22. They make a nice "team".

I pick it up on the 22nd. I put LCR in my signature because I am so excited (I don't have another one yet). I very well may pick up either the 38 or 357 to complement my S&W model 36.

I pick it up on Monday. It hasn't even been a week yet and feels like an eternity.

If you ever do a second one, consider the 357 over the 38. The stainless steel cylinder frame has advantages over aluminum, at just under a three ounce penalty.

Picked up the LCR-22 yesterday and took it straight to the range. Between a buddy and me, we put a couple hundred rounds through it.
I don't have any pictures yet, but this gun is beautiful. The hogue grips fit perfectly in my hand. Everything about the gun is top notch, from the cylinder release to the nice fit and click when you push the cylinder back in. The trigger is a little heavy but really nice and smooth. If I shot slowly I had no issue keeping all 8 shots in about an 8 inch circle at 7 yards. Even on rapid fire, I am pleased to report that every shot stayed within the silhouette target.
One thing that I was not expecting was the amount of smoke and muzzle flash from the lowly little .22 HP.
I will get a lot of joy from this gun.

Glad you got it and am liking it. We shot my LCR-22 this weekend, don't know the round count but we had fun on both paper and steel. It is a fun little trainer for the larger LCRs.
