I just can't get past how bleeding ugly those things are. And the adjustable sights don't help the look either (LOL).

Amen on the .327. Have the 3" LCRx .38 +P. Great gun. Didn't care for the DA only LCR rimfire's though.Finally! Now just bring me what I asked for, one just like it in .327! Christmas is over, but if you will make me one for my birthday...
Please Ruger, read this post! I want you to have my money!
(Yes, they are ugly. But, that trigger!)
I own three LCR's. An LCR357, an LCR22WMR and a 3" LCRx22WMR. My LCR357 is my EDC..its trigger is smoother than my SP101 and I've changed both hammer and trigger springs on it. It's glass smooth but nowhere near the LCR.But the monolithic steel frame is interesting. With that design, can the barrel sleeve be tensioned, or is it just screwed in from the front? What is the trigger like with the fire control in a polymer housing?
What's the level of quality on these LCRx? Wouldn't I be better off with a SP101 Match Champion? I have a longer-barreled J frame in this category and I'm not sure the Ruger does anything for me.
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.
