@@stevefarris9433 Nice Steve. Another reason I like to shoot 22LR is my accuracy is so much better. Follow up shots hit the target. I have a Sig P365 semi auto pistol in 9mm & the follow up shots are not where I want them because of the recoil. I have 22LR semi auto pistols I shoot that I'm very accurate with so my thought is to get the 22LR LCR simply because they work. Already had one round that did not load correctly in my 22LR semi auto ( Ruger SR22 ) at the range & it took about 2 minutes to clear the chamber. One round out of the 400 I've fired thru it but it showed me a revolver in this case would be so much faster to get off the rounds if a bad round happened. It holds 13 rounds but all it would take is a bad round & its chamber is blocked.

When I read that I wonder what they actually think occurs in the majority of civilian concealed carry defensive shootings and what they actually think they'll do if involved in one? I would imagine it's a pretty unrealistic view or scenario in their mind. Defend yourself and egress. Run away after stopping the threat. Four or five .22LR rounds to the chest and face of a criminal intent on doing harm will stop them.

The two concerns I have with all of these guns is the noise factor and recoil control. Noise factor is a huge elephant in a house room firefight. Effective control of recoil for consistent accuracy is another matter. With semi-autos, FTF and FTE clearing issues can be added as well. None of those concerns are .22LR revolver issues. Eight rounds of effective premium .22LR in a snubby revolver makes more sense these dayze. Just ordered an LCR22. I shall see ....

States like Massachusetts, California, New York and Connecticut that have magazine capacity restrictions don't effect a guns overall capacity. They only effect the capacity of the magazine itself. That's why the law actually talks about " magazine " capacity and not " firearm " capacity. This is also why it's legal to carry 10+1 rds for semi autos. The extra round in the chamber doesn't make it illegal because the law is specifically about the magazine only. When it comes to revolvers the cylinder is not considered a magazine so if someone actually made an 11rd 22lr revolver it would not be considered illegal.

The question few seem to be asking is, what actually stops someone from continuing to do what they are doing? If the blast, psychological knowledge they've been hit, or a direct hit to the CNS doesn't stop them, the most common impairment of mammals or people is blood vessel hemorrhaging due to tissue damage. Blood pressure will drop and the consciousness will fade. If you cannot reliably pop the CNS for lights-out, then the next best thing is functional organs and hemorrhaging. Can the .22 do it? Yes. Not as quickly or readily as an expanded .45 but it'll still do it, provided some tough tissue or bone didn't stop it. Poachers use it for deer, but that's usually CNS hits, and that's not anywhere the same example as a dangerous criminal attempting to cause you grave harm and you have little time to react.

My standard recommendation, when asked, is a simple, compact, 38 spl in a double action revolver. If you can’t make the gun work on the range, you’re not going to do an immediate action in a stressful event. This is a nice revolver. Been researching a new carry gun and I think this is it.

And maybe ~1,000 rounds from a single six revolver, zero failures. I guess my experience unique or maybe the 10/22 and MkII solved 22LR in semis, don't know.

Ive shot both side by side on range and prefer the 43c. Both are solid reliable and worth owning. I PREFER s&w fit and finish. Slightly smaller, lighter, better trigger for me (stage able, almost capable of 3/4 pull and then last 1/4 is like single action) .. the lcr rattles a bit when shaken side to side, grips were too large for my need for 22lr. But thats swappable. Lcr is cheaper and easier to find. S&w is worth the extra $ imho, i got 2 of them! Fantastic revolvers!

I'm older and I have chronic wrist problems. I tried the kel-tec p32 because I heard it had low recoil, but in my opinion it doesn't. The next step down I'm considering is an LCR 22 magnum. If that doesn't work, I'd go 22lr. Do you know if the magnum has much recoil (not for a fit person, but for someone with wrist pain)?

22 mag recoil is only very slightly more than 22LR. The noise of a 22 mag is 5 fold over 22LR. The mag will be more effective though

Is is normal for the LRC 22LR (no hammer spur) to have a large cylinder gap when firing ? I just purchased one and realized it later. When you pull the trigger it seems like the cylinder does not move forward to meet up with the barrel very much, even after pulling the trigger all the way through and holding it back so it doesn't reset there's alot of visibly light therefore space between the cylinder and barrel. I appreciate your time spent in responding, thanks

Two inch barrel and 22lr is the combo you picked ? That’s interesting, nothing against 22 rimfire I carry a MAA black widow that has a 2” barrel, fat grips and very usable sights (better than the Ruger) There’s 22 mag ammunition that will get over 900 fps out of a two inch barrel, imo that constitutes a legit snub nose. A 22lr with same two inch barrel will get you close enough velocity to get it done. The face is a good target as it’ll easily go through to membrane that got them in trouble to begin with Not what you want against an armed attacker someone with a hi capacity 9mm will have you wanting nothing but cover…being out gunned is a thing and you don’t want to be in that

@@TheConcealedCarryChannel I hear that. I was lucky: my local BX on base, which had few guns some months back, happened to have this one as one of the few. And I already had my dear departed Dad’s LCR in 38 Special and wanted to train with the 22LR version. But I’ve fallen in love with this 22LR version. It’s reliable, light and easy to shoot. And I’m more likely to pocket carry this one than the 38 Special. And as you said, being in California, I can still carry it, and the 8 round capacity is nice (as opposed to the 5 rounds on the 38 Special version). This will probably become my go-to EDC pocket carry, both as back-up and sometimes just as what I will likely stick in my pocket when I’m going out. No, it’s not as good as my two full size Glocks (22 and 31), but much easier to conceal and much more likely to be what I will have on me.

I don't think sights matter for self defense. If you have enough time to aim carefully, you are likely far enough away to not have to shoot. Only shoot someone if they are coming at you in a threatening way and in that case just point the gun and pull the trigger until it is empty.
