I can't speak for the LCRx .22LR but I have a 3" LCRx .22WMR. The major difference outside of LR vs Mag is 8 shot (LR) vs 6 shot (Mag)...the biggest complaint is the hammer spring is pretty heavy, which is inherent on .22 rimfires. There's plenty of disagreement on how heavy the trigger pull should be. I'm in the camp that it could be a lot lighter and still get the job done. I understand that Wolff is on the cusp of introducing lighter springs for this model.I have a 38 special LCR. It's my most common EDC. The trigger is fantastic. The light weight means that I can pocket carry without the pocket being pulled down like there's a boat anchor in it. My friend has the 357 model. To me shooting 357's through it is NBD. It doesn't bother him either, but we are pretty big middle-aged guys who've been shooting handguns since forever.
I'm starting to really want an LCRx in 22lr. Sorry to thread drift, but comments on those would be appreciated.
All that being said, I truly enjoy shooting my LCRx. The adjustable rear sight allows one to tailor it to the specific round they intend to shoot.
Holsterwise, I found a Galco Combat Master at my LGS made for a Taurus that is a great fit. While designed for a larger cylinder it fits pretty snug around the LCRx...it also accomadates my SP101DAO.
