Found something I might have to buy

Seems Ruger is going to start making their LCR revolver in 9mm. I've always wanted a small 9mm revolver but just can't bring myself to pay the price for a S&W. Hopefully these things will show up everywhere and not be overly difficult to find.

Definitely interested in this!

I could be mistaken but I thought Mazin mentioned handling one at Ark in another thread.

Thanks. I will keep a look out for the .40 S&W LCR.

Having owned a 9mm revolver, i'll stick with a 38+p and or .357

Jim, why do you prefer the .38/357? I often consider picking up a 9mm revolver and would like to hear of your experiences with one. Thanks.

I'm not sure what Jim's reasoning is, but I know why I do want one.

A. I seem to have plenty of 9mm on hand pretty much all the time.

B. The 9mm seems to have decent velocity even in really short barrels.

C. Recoil should be very light even in such a light revolver.

I'm with Ray... I want one. LCR's are great guns and having one that shoots a potent but inexpensive round would be great.
I wonder if it would work without moon clips. I had a 45ACP Nightguard that would work with or without clips. The cylinder was machined in a way that the lip of the round would catch and prevent it from just falling through.
