So I shot a LCR at show-me shooters yesterday and have owned and shot an LCP before.
However due to recent sales, etc I now have neither and am looking to get one or the other as a BUG. What are your thoughts on which you would get, and why. LCR has 5 shot capacity, and slightly larger. LCP has 6+1 and smaller. LCR is 38+P LCP is 380. |

I like the LCP. It's much slimmer and lighter. Put a Hogue Handall Jr on it. If it's just a bug, I wouldn't worry about the diff between .38+P and .380.
I had a 642 which is slightly heavier than the LCR, but I didn't like how wide it was. If I ever got another small revolver, it would be a S&W 340. Titanium and .357 Mag. But for something that size/weight, I just carry my Kahr PM9. You need to check the two new Taurus guns......the 709 Slim and the 738 (their answer to the LCP.) Both very nice guns––I got the first 709 off GunBroker, but I don't like it as much as the PM9. Both will be available in Titanium later on. BTW, some of the pictures of the 709 on Taurus's website are the prototype.......it looks more like the Mill Pro now, not the sleek prototype shown. |
