New Ruger Carry Revolver--Strange looking Radical Ruger revolver - or is it? Wednesday, January 14, 2009 Filed in: Revolvers, Shooting industry Yesterday I received an email from a reader, directing me to this thread at The Firing Line. Interesting! Today, Jeff Quinn at Gunblast released his (limited) review of the new Ruger LCR. Intriguing! http://www.grantcunningham.com/blog_...entry482_1.jpg This is certainly a radical departure from the traditional design and fabrication of the double-action revolver. The use of polymer is all the rage in the self-shucker world, but this is a first for a wheelgun. I'm excited that someone is taking renewed interest in the revolver, and attempting to bring the technology "up to date" - though I'm left with an odd feeling. Part of it is the realization that, while the technology is new, the concept isn't. It's just another lightweight, 5-shot, .38 Special revolver, the ballistic equivalent of a 4-door economy car; I'd be more impressed if they'd done the same thing in a 6-shot package. As it is, the design leaves me at once excited to get my hands on one, but at the same time bored with a gun I haven't even touched! Perhaps I'm jaded. Or maybe just a curmudgeon.

Re: New Ruger Carry Revolver--Strange looking I am a sucker for wheel guns. Plastic just doesn't do em justice. I got used to the plastic autos - even learned to appreciate them. But a revolver should be made in blued steel. ST

Re: New Ruger Carry Revolver--Strange looking Cool revolver. I like the LCR too. I have always liked Ruger revolvers. In fact, just bought this model in 6 1/2" this week. http://www.ruger.com/Firearms/images/Products/455L.jpg 22 convertible new model single six in blue. Gonna need a holster.

Re: New Ruger Carry Revolver--Strange looking If I want a revolver, I'll stick with the J-Frame. Ruger's SR9 & LCP are pretty nice, though.

That looks like an accurate revolver. Long barrels are so fun when your able to hit things others can't. E-A

A friend had the old model years ago and I loved it. It's a fun plinker. I like bustin' off the mags too. Haven't shot it yet since I just got it yesterday and left for the week. Looking forward to another weekend at the range. I've been messing with an SKS I have been putting together and sighting in and now I'll give this revolver it's due time.

Re: New Ruger Carry Revolver--Strange looking Ive always wanted a non fluted cylinder someone like the ruger pictured above but in a double action not a single. Anyone know if Ruger makes a Double Action 44 Magnum revolver with a unfluted Cylinder ? IM familiar with the SW 629 Classic Hunter but have heard bad things about the strength of the frame and ability to handle hot loads.

Smiths are fine for factory loads or even handloads made by the book. You can get into trouble when you roll your own to hot. Same with a Ruger but the line of to hot moved because they are stronger. For anything you buy you can shoot smiths without worry. Back to the fluted thing--I think they are sexy with flutes--they just look better. I wouldn't get one without flutes. Its a looks thing for me. E-A

Re: New Ruger Carry Revolver--Strange looking I don't know that Ruger makes non fluted in a 44 mag. Super Redhawk in 454 and 45, but haven't seen 44.
