Ruger LCR 22LR Double-Action Revolver

I read a bunch of reviews and knew exactly what I was getting. A well designed 22 revolver with a very heavy trigger pull. I bought it because a semiautomatic won't cycle quiet loads or snake shot. It does everything I needed.

What a perfect gun for just plinking targets. The smooth light trigger pull makes it easy for grand kids to learn to shoot. Compact and light weight for CC. This is number 4 LCR in my Ruger collection, 2- 327s and a 38 Special. Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore makes it way too easy to buy everything guns with great dependable fast service and low prices. 5 Stars across the board.

I bought this for my wife's birthday, but have been breaking it in before that day arrives. It arrived in perfect condition from SOSS to my local FFL. I have shot over 500 rounds prior to this review. The grips are very nice. I have large hands, but they afford a very comfortable grip. The trigger took about 50 rounds to get used to, as well as the sight picture. Very light weight, and quality machining on all parts. I am not a marksman, just a normal EDC person. Yesterday, at 9 yards, I shot 50 rounds: 36 were within 2, 10 within 3, and 4 at 4+. So for my wife's purposes or mine, that is accurate enough.

One thing: unlike other revolvers I've owned, this one's ejector is affected by certain brands of 22LR ammo. For instance, if I load Browning ammo, I cannot eject the spent casings unless I tap the ejector with a board or rubber mallet. Yet Federal has no such issues: can shoot and eject without problems for as many rounds as you wish. Love this pistol. The trigger became smoother and less stiff as I ran more rounds through it. Love it. Glad I bought it.

Mattress for my wife as a present. She couldn't be any more happier with the way shoots and handles. Unlike her semi-automatic that would jam occasionally, she loves the load and unload of this one. Easy for her concealed purse also.

Excellent handgun! I have shot over 2,000 rounds through it without any failures to fire. The only thing against it is that now I also have the Ruger LCR 327 Magnum, and I like that one even more than the LCR 22. The trigger action of the LCR 327 Magnum is about 3 pounds lighter than the LCR 22 LR, which makes it easier to shoot, and more fun. Although, the ammo cost is cheaper with the LCR 22LR. I like both guns very much. Prefer these guns over any semi-automatic pistols. More reliable, and because of its shape, easier to retrieve from a pocket or other. It is light, and accurate enough, and is a pleasure to carry, and shoot. Recommended!

Lowest price I could find on the net for a LCR-22, plus free shipping, no credit card fee. Bought on a Monday afternoon and received Thursday morning. Hard to beat and Jenny in Customer Service has a great sense of humor too.
