My new LCR .357

[Chunkychuck]

Ordered this Thursday morning. It arrived at my FFL Friday afternoon and I picked it up today. The FFL I use is outside of the city so I asked him if I could fire it before I left. He said sure. He cleaned it for me and I gave him 5 shells to load randomly. There were 3 - 150 gr LRN .38 Specials, 1 - 158 gr SWC .357, and 1- 125 gr JHP .357. We both agreed that based on sound, the 125 gr JHP was the last round fired. I couldn't really tell any difference in recoil but the last shell shot approximately 2 inches higher on the target. The other four were relatively the same height, but low on point of aim. I sure it was me. Later I went shot the other 47 rounds of the 150 gr LRN and was low on most of them. Everything, including the first five, were within 6-7 inches of each laterally. I experimented with the placement of my finger between the pad of the finger and the crease of the first knuckle. That seem to affect left and right more than up or down. I was shooting at about seven yards and wasn't shooting fast but was trying to get a good front sight alignment with each shot. It fits my hand well with my pinkie finger curling underneath the grip naturally. I'm going to try to get out next week an shoot some more full power stuff to see if there is a difference. I am new to firearms so any suggestions will be appreciated. Realized when I posted picture serial number could be read, Have a new picture posted in a moment.

Congrats on the new LCR. I have a .38 model.

I've got some 125gr JHP's you should try in it. Pat Cannon ran a few through his SP101 and said they weren't too bad. (snickering)

That is what I have in my SP101 snubbie and my 6" GP100. I will be trying those next week.

This gun interests me greatly. I might have to go sniff and feel one up somewhere.

really great gun. My wife and I use our LCRs in 38 Spl for EDc at this time.
25 rounds at the range from time to time is enough to keep familiarity.
