Ruger LCR

[I_Like_Pie]

I am calling it here first 2 days before the release. Ruger's new gun will be called the LCR and will be a composite, 5 shot .38 revolver. I have actually seen the pre-release pictures. It is pretty sweet.

If they price it right it will sell like hotcakes.

Woohoo!

[Magiccarpetrides]

sounds interesting.

What does "composite" mean in this case?

Like "alloy", "rugerium" ?

How about a pre release copy & paste?

[Guest TylerC]

What will make it more popular than the other small revolvers?

Where did you see the pics and CAN WE SEE THEM!?

also, I heard rumors about a 9mm lcp

Nope...composite as in Glock. I would post the pictures I have, but I would hate for a C&D from Ruger. Would not make Tungsten's day.

I will say this...it will really eat into the market that the 442 has been sitting on for a while now.

It is 100% confirmed. All you folks have to do is wait now.

PICS!

Maybe its just me but I don't see the advantage in a composite revolver. If you want lightweight, they make titanium and scandium revolvers, beyond that I think it would punish your hand a little too much to be much fun to shoot.

A tupperware revolver?

And how much composite are we talking about? Like a steel (metal) cylinder and barrel and working bits, then composite frame? Sleeved cylinders even? I dunno. Sounds funky. Guess we will have to wait for pics.

Sounds like a Ruger flop ala the Hawkeye,308 Mini 14,and the .357 Maximum.Ruger has a pattern of introducing some duds and they are long overdue for another.

Not unless you consider a 442 S&W a flop. Trust me on this one guys...if the price is right it will do really, really well.

The 442 isn't tupperware.

[I_Like_Pie]

The 442 isn't tupperware.

You are right...it is made out of aluminum.

So is that what the countdown clock on the Ruger site is all about? (currently showing 1 day, 15:09:xx to go)

Anyone else notice that Smith has chambered a gun in .327 federal? Kind of a little jab, I guess.

[Guest eyebedam]

Now that Ive seen pics if this really hits the shelves & is priced right it will be LCR mania just like the LCP. Hope they dont have to issue a recall on it like the last few roll outs.

[VERO1]

I hope they just make more than 50 of them! Be a little easier than finding a .327 or LCP hopefully.

[musicman]

More important....

...have they already set a date for the recall?

Howabouta somebody posting some GD pics already!

+1

That's what I was thinking...still, I'm curious.

That's what they said about the P 85 as well,oh wait,that was another Ruger flop.

One of them, surely. Maybe Mars saw it coming.
