I still have two SP101’s. A 4” 8-shot .22 and a 2-1/2” .357. Both are built like a brick, nice sidearms but in no way pocket guns. They weight more than a loaded Glock 19. I once shot a LCR in .38 Special, with .+P ammo no less. Horrifically brutal! I’d never let my wife or kid plink with one, and that hot ammo! Maybe one in .22 WMR or .327. That would be versatile.
I don’t like truly hammerless anything, just me. And now they make them with hammers. It’s just tough for me to see a premium price in something so ugly. For the same money one can have a wonderful vintage piece in high luster blue and real walnut grips.
Anyone have experience with the LCR line?
