Ruger LCRx?
« on: June 17, 2015, 03:08:35 PM »
Thinking about getting the Ruger LCRx 3in barrel. Anyone have any experience with it? Also what's the recoil like?

I've shot one and plan to buy one in the near future. Recoil is really dependent on your choice of ammo. Fiocchi 148gr target wad cutter loads are mild and very accurate. Buffalo Bore 158gr +p LSWCHP is easy to control thanks to the long Hogue grip, super accurate, but does kick hard. Federal 158gr SWC target ammo is easy on the hands and accurate too. Federal  139gr +P Hydra-Shok has a stout recoil, but very controllable.

I carry a standard LCR regularly normally loaded with Buffalo Bore +p 158gr LSWCHP or Speer LE +p 125gr JHP (Gold Dots).

Regular LCRx. . . I really like it.  It has been flawless for over 100 rounds so far.  Read on Ruger forum and good reports on the 3-inch.  The extra barrel length helps with a little more velocity ->  more expansion.
All sold - local laws. Too bad! :-(
