Ruger LCR
Picked this up today for my wife. It's the new Ruger LCR, the first polymer/alloy framed revolver on the market. It's a .38spl +p, and holds 5 rounds. It weighs in at a whopping 13 ounces lol. I wanted to get her something ultra light that was rated for +p ammo. After seeing how much they are selling for on gunbroker I'm thinking about listing if for sale already lol. J/K I'll probably keep this one. Let me know what you guys think!

I have shot one; however, with the plus p loads it can have some substantial kick for a woman. But for its intended purpose I am thinking of getting one of those or one of the airweights in 38 for a back up ankle holster gun.

well my wife is 5'11" and athletic. If she can shoot my .45ACP, I think she will do fine with the .38 +p's. I guess we will find out for sure today.

Thats kinda cool. Let us know how she likes it. The egg shaped trigger guard is kinda funky, i must admit
"The 1911 is a collection of subsystems that must work together. Each part must be prepared and fit properly not only in and of itself, but also with regard to the other parts with which it must operate for the gun to function and appear as desired."
A bit too heavy for my tastes.
well the only thing lighter would be a rubber band finger gun.

Ok so I took the gun out and put about 25 rounds through it while my wife was out shopping today. She didn't get a chance to shoot it. She's going to try it tomorrow.
So far I am highly pleased with it. The recoil is pretty light considering the weight of the gun. When firing 38spl +p rounds the recoil is similar to a 9mm automatic handgun. It's also pretty accurate to have such a short barrel. Shooting at a 12" circular target, I was able to hit all five shots in the center 3" ring from about 10 yards, and that was under medium-fast fire. When firing slow and steady I was able to produce a tighter group than that. I'm no expert marksman, but I would say that in terms of personal protection, this pistol is accurate to hit vital areas multiple times from 10-15 yards. Chances are that you ever have to pull a gun on someone to protect yourself they are probably going to be closer than 10 yards...
The gun also cleans very easily. The different exterior coatings wipe clean with a rag, and I had the barrel spotless again with just one pass of a cloth strip and nitro solvent, no brush.

I was really interested in these awhile back. Sweet gun.
I am torn between one of these and a 442. I like them both.. we shall see.

I held one at the gun show. Light as hell. I was not expecting it to be as large as it is. I might have to pick one up one day.
