Just picked this up and am excited to get out there Tuesday and give it some trigger time. I have had a lot of guns over the years and think its a beauty. I am a revolver fan so this lit all the right buttons

Can I assume that kydex iwb for say a Charter arms 6 shot might work for this gun if I ever decided to carry it. I cant seem to find Kydex specifically for this model.

Still LOVING these. Bought them Beginning of January 25 but the thin rubber I had requested was coming undone so I just installed new rubber. These are my throw on quick shoes and have seen many miles. I have other barefoot shoes but if we are just marching off to the store or going strolling these are my go to the same way some people use sneakers.

Should get another year and a half out of them now!!

Colt cobra In 38

Just got home a little bit ago with my new toy. God its beautiful and the trigger is crazy smooth from the box! Wont get to do more than dry fire until Tuesday but ... Still doing the "I gotta new gun dance"

I certainly didnt set out to be a brand loyalist but ...

And I have owned 3 others with the same name on em :)

I posted a bit back asking for thoughts on the LCR vs the 642.

So I went ahead and bought one

https://www.reddit.com/r/Revolvers/comments/1vb3zek/new_revolver_and_a_happy_ending/

Today was My first range day and I wanted to share my thoughts for anyone else wondering which to get. of course these opinions are just that.

Just a little about my shooting history before I weigh in. First handgun was a revolver and that was nearly 40 years ago. Over the years I have shot THOUSANDS of rounds through all sorts of guns, run and gun, classes shoot from the ground .. Lots o Shooting. Still shoot once a week.

I had the 642 for a good while. Not a fun gun to shoot recreationally so I would check it or my ability to shoot it well every now and again but all in all .. it was a pocket gun and not a lot of fun.

Concealability

The 642 really shines against the LCR here. I could comfortably slip the 642 into my front pocket of virtually any pants I wore and was able to draw from the pocket. I would say a good 80% of the time I carried that gun it was in my front pocket.

When carried AIWB it was barely noticeable. The super short grip made it so it didn't print at all.

The LCR is a pretty large gun in comparison. I attached pix of it on top a SAR 9mm which is glock 19 size and they are pretty close. Except for the significant weight difference .. the LCR is a big gun compared to the 642 and its noticeable. I can get it in my pocket easy enough but I wouldn't be able to draw it quickly or at least as quickly as the 642 from the pocket.

When carrying the LCR AIWB I am aware of it and it does print. With the 642 I barely knew I had a gun with me.

If you need DEEP concealment 642 is the way to go. You can wear chinos or office slacks with it in the front pocket and no one would know. I cant say you can do the same with the LCR

Shootability

Here is where the LCR shines FOR ME. The fuller size grip means you can get on it. All A zone hits from 5-10 yds. all hits in a 9x6 box easy. You can get all over this gun and you get negligible muzzle rise. My Fiber optic gave a tiny bounce and fire again. Sweet.

I could have shot the gun easily out to 15 yds accurately .. something I NEVER was able to do with my 642.

Recoil compared to the 642 is a dream. I fired about 30 of my reloads through it to start out which I would never have done with my 642 because I found it miserable to shoot.

I then wanted to check my SD ammo so I fired 6 rds of Underwood 158grSWC 38 and then 6 rds of Underwood 158grSWC 38+p

Both were absolutely manageable with quick follow up.

So in the end .. They are dissimilar enough that you might want to own both. If you want to have something more than a pocket knife but are going somewhere sensitive and need an excellent hideaway .. its the 642. For me though .. its a belly gun.

If you want what amounts to nearly a full size snubby that you can hit at range with comfortably and can handle recoil from some spicier ammo without you needing a chiropractor .. LCR all the way.

On a completely subjective note .. The LCR felt better put together to me. Everything clicked and snicked very nicely. The 642 feels like a toy and the LCR felt like a gun. Again .. that comes with pluses and minuses.

I liked the LCR shooting experience enough that while I don't want to beat on a plastic aluminum gun .. I will certainly take it out for a few rounds just for fun which is something I never did with the 642.

On another note .. I finished out my range visit with a few from my Gp100 .. god I think it is the best 3 in revolver ever made. have that gun over 10 years. favorite of all the guns I own. 25yd shots from DA are a breeze. Man do I love that gun.

I had posted asking about this gun a couple weeks back. I had a 642 already but I am kind of a ruger fan and like the look of this guy.

Went searching around and best price was Sportsmans warehouse at $439 and its about 20 minutes from me so I ordered it on the 26th and ship to store date estimate was the 7th.

Got the "ITS HERE" email yesterday and went this morning to pick it up.

Go through the paper work and such and the woman helping me says .. hey since the time you ordered t​​his gun ​it has gone on special.

"Oh Cool"

I figured maybe I was getting 10 bucks off. Nope .. it was now $359 and she hands me a gift card for $80!!!!!!!!!

That my friends .. is a good revolver day.

Dont scuba and its only a test of one but spent about 2 hours hanging out in the river and it was submerged for most of that and ... No water made it past the seals.

Love this watch! Even if its a beast

Kampfe Muhle41 clone in Stainless with the UFO handle!! Love it

I dont know why I didn't just get this handle from the very beginning but I went ahead and tried some 3 others before ordering this from "Italian Barber"

Now my not so long journey for my perfect forever razor is complete.

Haven't shaved in 3 days just waiting and I am also trying Shave butter for the first time in my life because I got some free. Using a bowl and brush for over 35 years so wish me luck.

Think price is a bit on the high side but I added it to my wishlist to see what it might be on any future sale. Anyone have some experience with them?
