These 10 shots were Vivian's first shots ever with a revolver. You can tell she was a lot more confident on the second 5 shots. After shooting she informed me that she like the gun. How many ladies do you know that have shot a snub nosed revolver and then said. I like that gun.

How does this handle/shoot compared to a 3" SP101? Similar dimensions but the LCR is almost half the weight.

I do not know. I have never seen and SP101 and I do not have access to one. I know this one is very comfortable to shoot.

It was good to see her NOT having to reposition her support hand after each shot (or needing to.) With a lot of smallish guns this is difficult for average shooters.

I agree with all of that. That is one reason I had Vivian shoot. She does well but she does not have the rounds down range that many people do. I have had a lot of women in basic classes over the years refuse to shoot more than 10 rounds through a snubby. I have not had any say I really like this gun. That should make people give it a real look.

I have three of these - 22 Mag and 357 Mag LCR and a 38 +P LCRx.

All have the <$100 LaserMax trigger guard lasers.

Wouldnt trade any of them for a different maker. Mine all shoot very well. Are extremely light for pocket carry.

And the DA trigger pulls around 7 pounds are better than any other revolver I've ever held that wasn't a one-of target gun. Triggers are even better than a lot of the striker fire semi automatics I've fired.

The LCR has more felt recoil, but a bit better out-of-the box trigger.

I see now they have a new one out in .327 magnum, a six shooter.

I've wondered about the 22LR version as a lightweight pack/tackle box gun. I could see it finding a place in one of the pockets of my 10/22 TD bag.
It also might make for decent trigger practice for the defensive caliber guns?

Do you have one there for rental? I might have my wife try it. She has small hands, with a weak grip (due to nerve damage). The only thing she's currently comfortable shooting is her Glock 42. I wonder if this might be another good option for her.

Yes we have one on the rental wall.

Great! Sounds like I need to plan a date night at the range.
