My buddy bought the first one today at Plainfield Shooting Supplies. I checked it out, it's a nice little piece.

I'd hope so. Cylinder length looks unchanged from the 38/357 versions.I take it that cylinder rotation is reliable with the longer 147gr loads?

Read over on arfcom that in DFW area has the LCR9 for $570. That $100 more than the LCR 357. And they're the same size gun to boot. Sounds like ruger is trying to take advantage of people knowing 9mm is more popular round. I can't justify spending $100 more for the same gun in a different caliber especially when 357 is a proven round

Carries the same MSRP as the 357 version, which I've purchased new at $450. Sounds like a dealer jacking it up, not Ruger.

Yes, I got mine last week and 147 grain JHP's are fine.
To put things into perspective:
1 9mm bullet - 0.5 oz.
LCR unloaded - 17.2 oz.
Sig P938 unloaded - 16 oz.
LCR loaded (5 rounds) - 19.7 oz.
Sig P938 (7 rounds) - 19.5 oz.
For me, I would lose barrel length, ease of reloads, night sights, extra rounds, single action trigger, and concealability.
I hate to repeat myself, but what is the practical purpose of a LCR in 9mm? From a concealed carry perspective, most people would be better off with a CM9, LC9S, P938, etc...

The 9mm is shorter and easier to reload in a hurry I guess but for the purpose of this type of gun, I see no use. They should just build a multi-caliber, medusa-type cylinder into the LCR .357 frame and call it a day.I hate to repeat myself, but what is the practical purpose of a LCR in 9mm?

How much if you don't mind me asking?
