I have ordered one as a new CC gun, to replace my old smith 38 and am wondering if anyone else is carrying one and what there thoughts are on the preformance and polymer frame.

Yep I carry one every day as well..a great pocket carry gun and with the polymer frame, and recoil tamer grips, a fun gun to shoot at the range. |

I've been thinking about one but I just can't get the LCR to drop into my pocket like my LCP. I would much rather carry a 357 instead of a 380 but my current work situation just doesn't allow it.
I'm sure you'll be happy with the gun and I'm sure one will make it's way into my posession eventually. __________________ If the pain is lacking so is the discipline...

I have one and it is now my carry gun. Good trigger for a double action and will shoot a very powerful load. Practice rounds are .38s and +Ps. Carry ammo is 158 gr. soft lead swc w/gc. Going about 1020 fps with around 365 ft. lbs of energy. Not bad for a 17 oz. 2" revover. Loud but managable. Bufflalo Bore has a good selection of short barrel ammo. Good shootin' to ya'.

Forgot to mention: The 158 gr. soft lead SWC with G/C is also a HP. Like the old FBI load but more powerful. Those who shoot the LCR will agree it is fairly hard to be accurate over 7 yds, and in a emergency situation not all shots will hit the intended target. I added a Crimson Trace laser to the revolver whick makes it a great self defence weapon, five shots with devastating power. If I new I was going to a gun fight and had only a handgun I would choose a high cap .40, but for everyday carry the Ruger with this load and the laser is hard to beat. Just my 2 cents.

Well it came in yesterday and I hit the range with it. I liked the way it feels even when shooting .357 mag rounds. One of the best feeling magnums I've shot. I like it better than my Ruger sp101 I sold a few years back. I really like the feel of the grip, just has a good positioning for the recoil. Now I just have to find a good CC holster for it.

Mine lives on my ankle, maybe try that? If not the Blackhawk IWB neoprene...size 5 (I think) works well too
