Finally got a chance to take one shooting, 38 special and 357 mag, awesome little pistol, I figured the 357's would hurt more than they did. Absolutely no regrets. I Initially was going to buy the Taurus 605 poly protector, but nobody had one, so I got this instead, I really wish it had a hammer exposed, but you can get used to this pretty fast. First time this pistol has been shot.

I'm all over the LCR in 38 or 357; but i want the 357. No hammer; no prob; nuthin to hang up on. My hunting partner carries the 38+p with crimson trace in the field. Whats not to love? 15oz's of backup!

JohnVH · « **Reply #2 on:** January 31, 2013, 08:34:39 PM »

yeah buddy, Im a believer, buddies wife carries the 38 version, so we compared it to my 357 one, a few little differences, but both are cool.

Wow. Nice shooting.

That thing is a sweet ride. Been looking for the last 2 months and they are nowhere to be found. Had you told me you had one....we could have just traded the derringer straight across

Thanks for sharing the video

That is awesome! I have a lcp .380 and I can shoot that almost the same as a full size pistol.

Doesn't the Ruger LCR 357 shoot 38 special too.

JohnVH · « **Reply #21 on:** February 01, 2013, 05:38:29 PM »

Yep, it does, which I state in the video as half of it was 38 specials, half 357 mags

duckmen1 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 02, 2013, 04:36:59 PM »

Thanks had the volume down and didn't realize it was brought up.

JohnVH · « **Reply #23 on:** February 02, 2013, 04:38:10 PM »

yeah, definately have the volume up to hear the clink!

Tman · « **Reply #24 on:** February 02, 2013, 10:12:56 PM »

I picked up one pf these this summer. The bites not nearly as bad as youde think for a 17 oz gun, but the blowback is really somethin else.compared to most revolvers ive shot.

JohnVH · « **Reply #25 on:** February 03, 2013, 08:43:24 AM »

whats the blowback? First cylinder of 357's I thought, dang, it almost hurts, but after that I think I held higher on the grip, and didnt really notice the rest as bad.

hunting4sanity · « **Reply #26 on:** February 03, 2013, 09:15:13 AM »

Nice looking gun. With that short barrel I'm not too sure you'd hear the metal ping with me on the trigger. Good shooting.

aaronoto · « **Reply #27 on:** February 03, 2013, 09:39:19 AM »

Very nice! I have a 38+P LCR and I wouldn't want to shoot 357 out of it even if I could!

JohnVH · « **Reply #28 on:** February 03, 2013, 03:29:28 PM »

Got a couple lucky ones at 200yards

Ruger LCR 357 at 200 yards

Heredoggydoggy · « **Reply #29 on:** February 03, 2013, 03:44:16 PM »

Why would you bother shooting a gun like that at 200 yards? The gun is made for personal defense. If the guy you shoot is more than arm's length away, you're going to be charged with murder!

JohnVH · « **Reply #30 on:** February 03, 2013, 03:46:29 PM »

why? because I can, thats why, and its fun!

Heredoggydoggy · « **Reply #31 on:** February 03, 2013, 03:58:47 PM »

OK--logical response. Lots of things that aren't practical are fun!

JohnVH · « **Reply #32 on:** February 03, 2013, 04:08:11 PM »

aint that the truth, haha.
