Just practice or “training” to overcome something someone has done for years not that simple. I have been shooting SW j revolvers, personal use/professionally/competitively, for over 25 years before the LCR came out. I would have to use nothing but LCRs until a couple of years ago to over come my “double clutching” of the trigger due to the length of time I have used the SW trigger. Case in point, I have been using my LCR38 for three months for dryfire practice. 100 trigger pulls in the morning and 100 at night, with 25 reloads during each session. At 25 days a month times three, that’s over 15k worth of trigger pulls. Yet I still “double clutch” the damn thing when doing double or triple taps. When something is so imbedded into our self conscious and muscle memory, it takes all the time you spent learning and using that “habit” plus one more to overcome it they say. But in reality it may never be overcomed. You are not overcoming familiarity in a few range sessions. And someone stated that the “double clutching” really only happens during dry fire practice. I will say that I have noticed that during firing sessions I do not experience the false reset as much as when dry firing, but I do experience it. Enough that I won’t carry a LCR unless it’s one of the rimfire caliber due to the heavier trigger return springs.
Now none of this take away from the fact that the LCR is a great line of pistols from Ruger. I have owned all of the various LCRs and keep the 22lr and 22mag around, at least for now.
