I got a LCR in .38, and I'm trying the coin test but failing. What happens is this:
I put a penny on top of the rear sights (usually fairly forward, so right above or in front of the cylinder). I pull the trigger, the coin jumps straight up maybe 1/2 inch to an inch as if it's been flipped, hits the gun on the way down, and bounces off to the side (as the result of spinning in the air).
My question is this: is this a failure in trigger discipline on my part, or is this normal for a 13.5 oz gun with an 8-9 pound trigger pull?
