That's a nice one!
I have a crossbreed supertuck that holds my kimber comfortably, but sometimes I'd like something lighter and simpler.
I think the LCR will fit my bill for now and add a .357 later on.
All of my local shops were out except one who wanted $459 for an LCR. Looks like I might be buying my first online gun.  |

I have.
I shot from 40 feet at targets using a bench rest & free standing.
Just to test how accurate street use would be. I was impressed with the tight 5 shot groups.
The Hogue Rubber Grips help with a reduction in felt recoil, especially with the hot loads. The trigger pull is smooth and light for a pocket revolver. Making it easy to use it quickly & accurately. The trigger pull is soo smooth you would think it had a custom trigger job right out of the box. Talking to the Ruger Reps. the trigger system is engineered to minimize friction between the firing components.
The LCR is a close-quarter defense gun intended for all day carry- no doubt about it!! I only have limited experience with a LCR because I don't own, I've only fired/tested one. If you want a better review I would get with owners like cane and the others to see what they have to say. | |

You can't go wrong with either. . . or any Ruger revolver for that matter. What I like about my 101 is that I can just throw it in the truck (in holster of course), get out and easily conceal in public for the day and if I forget a mallet while on a camping trip it is also useful for driving stakes in the ground.  | |

The SP101 trigger doesn't compare to the LCR, but I'm still going to get one eventually. I've already missed a special price of 440 bucks on one!! 
I just want to keep it in my truck. I'm not too worried about thief because I have an auto alarm that alerts me when a problem arises. | |

Gojo, do you have any revolvers right now? If not, I would highly suggest the SP101. You know you want a magnum and at least one 357 should be in every man's gun collection, I prefer several. The SP will do everything the LCR will do and then some. The only thing your going to lose with an SP is some weight. I have carried my SP and it feels no different then my Kimber. I can't use a clip like cane but then I don't dress like a hippie(it's not 70 on Christmas here either). __________________

Thanks Wes. I think I'll get the lcr first and the sp101 at a later date.
I still need to know how Cane got his logo white. | |

I AGREE!!
Especially since the SP101 has that feature that allows it to double as a forgotten mallet while camping, that diggs mentioned earlier.  | |

I've seen people use white out or just a little white paint. Smear it across the lettering and wipe the excess off. __________________

I want to hear Cane admit that he did that. If he does, then I'll try it and take pics. | |
