So on monday I picked up my first pocket snubbie. The decision was of course between a Ruger LCR and S&W J-frame(642). Decision really came down to the trigger. The LCR trigger is awesome. It's light and smooth, and stages just enough right before release for some pretty controlled shooting.
Anyhow didn't get the chance to put some rounds through it until yesterday. Have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Recoil wasn't nearly as snappy as I was expecting. A lot of people say that Jframes and LCRs are guns that are good for carrying a lot and shooting a little. I didn't really find this to be the case. I shot about 150 rounds. 100 standard .38 special and 50 +p. I actually found myself to be more accurate with the +p. Both were Remington UMC variety and I was consistently shooting about 2" low and to the left with the .38 special at 10yrds and with the +p 2" to 3" groups right at POA.
Might put some rounds through it today if the weather cooperates, maybe I'll pull the camera out and do a more proper range report.
So you others that own an LCR, especially those that picked one up early after release, are you still pleased with your purchase? Any changes made? Better sights? switch to boot grip or CT laser?
