I'm intrigued with the LCR. Watching Michael Bane shoot it on
www.downrange.tv , I noticed that it recoiled differently than the usual lightweight J-frame. Looking at the shape of the polymer gripframe, I think it might "roll" in the hand similar to a SA revolver does (and I like SA revolvers). Also, with most of the metal parts (and weight) forward of the trigger, I'd think that would mitigate recoil somewhat. I'm looking forward to trying it....and I'm waiting on my next snub-gun purchase so I can consider this one (that, and the Taurus 856 6-shot J-frame).
As for looks....Ruger isn't exactly known for pretty guns...but they DO make guns that work. If it ends up as a CCW piece, no one's going to see it anyway....
Sorry just kind of annoyed by Gunblast's "Every Gun Sent To Us Is Great" mentality.
Remember the old saying, "Only accurate guns are interesting"? Gunblast operates like that. If it's not a good gun, they don't waste time writing about it. And I haven't seen them write about a lemon yet....
