Ruger LCR

Post by KAZ » Sun Aug 29, 2010 10:26 am

I know that many of you own LCRs(this one is my wifes)and I thought that you might be interested in the fiber optic replacement sight. It installs exactly like the original front sight and takes about 5 minutes. Available in green or red, it makes for really fast sight acquisition. Regards

That most certainly should help in acquiring a fast sight picture. Let us know how she likes it. :)

Different trigger pull on the LCR. How do you like it?

the trigger on one I've fooled around with was long and fairly smooth, heavy but that is what you want on a snub. felt like a decent revolver, I didn't get to shoot it but my buddy says the recoil is not so bad, allegedly the polymer frame is supposed to flex a bit to take some snap out of the recoil.

The Hi Viz sight I installed on my LCR really helped me. I've got pretty bad eyesight, one good near and one good far, but I can now pick up the front sight and shoot with both eyes open. I also added a CT laser grip and that works very well too. The grip does send back more felt recoil but not much.

I've a great spouse with three personal pistols. The LCR(an anniversary present this June) sleeps under her pillow, and has been there ever since she put 5 rounds into the body mass of the silhouette target. She has a LCP in a pocket holster that is always with her, and again she has only shot it a few times at the silhouette target. Neither of us enjoy shooting the small pistols. For fun, and CCL quals she shoots her Glock G19. I make sure to stay in her good graces, and the only shots fired in anger by her so far have had to do with dispatching a rattlesnake that threatened her dog. Regards
