Just stumbled on Jeff Quinn's review of the new Ruger LCRX in .38 Special. It's an LCR with adjustable sights, exposed hammer and three-inch barrel, but weighs less than a pound. I'm thinking this might make a very fine carry/trail gun.

Re: Practical new Ruger five-shooter
^^^ +1! Yeah it actually looks good to me. Too bad they could make it in 32SWL or 32H+R. Some .38Sp load with a 125gr RFN at 850fps or so would be all you need for most woods walking.

30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres

Re: Practical new Ruger five-shooter
Wish they would add the same mods to the SP101... which is my preferred carry...
C2N14... because life is not energetic enough.

Re: Practical new Ruger five-shooter
Nothing wrong with this little gun and wadcutters for rabbits and such. Eager to see some accuracy workups.

I'll pass - until a .22RF is offered (preferrably a .22WMR).

Any way you sell it,
No matter how you spell it,
When you start to smell it,
BO stinks.

Re: Practical new Ruger five-shooter
Thanks Mark. I'm going to have to give this little dude some serious attention after Christmas.
