Title: LCR 357 maiden run, and 100yd shooting, and now 200yds
Post by: JohnVH on January 31, 2013, 08:27:08 PM: 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.

Post by: washelkhunter on January 31, 2013, 08:32:37 PM: 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!

Post by: JohnVH 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.

Title: Re: LCR 357 maiden run, and 100yd shooting
Post by: Tman 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.
Title: Re: LCR 357 maiden run, and 100yd shooting
Post by: JohnVH 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.
Title: Re: LCR 357 maiden run, and 100yd shooting
Post by: hunting4sanity 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.
Title: Re: LCR 357 maiden run, and 100yd shooting
Post by: aaronoto 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!

Post by: Heredoggydoggy 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! :twocents:
