Please Ruger make some wood LCR Grips!

Here you go.

They actually make a boot grip, it is less sticky and compact...perfect for pocket carry. They have the grips installed on a factory model that I've seen in stock at a local gun store. Here they are on Ruger's web site http://shopruger.com/Hogue-LCR-Bantam_Boot-Grip/productinfo/19927/

I tried wood grips on my M&P340 and dang did they hurt like heck.

The LCR boot grip is very usable, hard on the side so that it doesn't drag and it still has a small cushion in the grip.

I like wood grips but the LCR is kinda ugly. No sense in putting lipstick on a pig.

^ agree. If I want a gun without an exposed hammer or without wood grips, I'll get one of those semi-auto plastic thingies.

my thoughts exactly. the LCR is, imo, the best of the pocket snubs... but it is also the ugliest.

I'm hoping they make a 6 shot steel framed LCR with a larger grip and exposed hammer...

Oh, wait...

I haven't seen one yet that could be pocket carried due to overly large grips.

I may be a bit biased but I own an LCR and it's a respectable gun. I find it to be difficult to carry. I carry a small frame wheelgun with non-wrap around polymer grips (sometimes pearlite). They are smaller for any kind of carry and I've never had my hands hurt after firing. In a self defense situation-felt recoil would be the last thing on my mind.

Recoil may be the last thing on your mind, but if a grip design does not allow you to recover from recoil and get your sights back on target asap, the consequences could be potentially dire.

I have the LCR 357. If it had wood grips it would hurt like hell to shoot. The Tamer Grip makes the 17oz. gun painless to shoot 357 125 grain ammo. I enjoy shooting this gun as it is and carry it Daly as backup to my SP101. I don't have a problem drawing it from my off hand pocket or using speed loaders.

The closest I've seen is Charter Arms' Police Undercover in .38. And I think Rossi makes a small-framed sixshooter in .357. Neither have the light weight or modern look of the LCR, though.

I'm surprised hardly anyone makes wood grips for the LCR; it's one of the only reasons I have a SP101 instead.
