You'll love the LCR. I have owned both and if I had to go back, I would probably pick up the LCR. It is CRAZY accurate, you would never believe. The LCP takes some getting used to...big learning curve.
@GreenSquadKillers it depends on two fundamental things really... LCP uses a clip so reloads are gonna be much faster, however you will never have to worry about a revolver jamming on you, you just gotta make those limited shot COUNT. lol
The LCR is simply waaaay too heavy and much too wide for comfy pocket carry -I wonder how much thinner it would be if it was chambered in .327 Federal instead of the far thicker .38 Spcl. Shrink the diameter of the cylinder and they might have something there.
so the lcp is lighter, thinner, holds more rounds, cheaper, y would anybody take the lcr over the lcp? i guess a revolver is more reliable but really i dont think a pistol with ruger quality will jam easily. i go lcp all the way
@GunWebsites Overall metric is far more efficient... thats why scientists use it. Nothing wrong with the imperial measures though, its just slower lol.
@TheHigherVoltage You're the idiot for thinking switching would somehow be a good thing for us at this point. And if you're into trying to make this into some sort of contest, at least we're in a free country and allowed to own guns, can you say the same?
@nathan9384 "You're the idiot for thinking switching would somehow be a good thing for us at this point." - I guess that depends on the direction a country wants to move in.
My comment wasn't a contest, it was an observation of reality. To answer your question - I live in a freer country and allowed to own guns...I'm also educated enough to know gun ownership is not a gauge of freedom.
@GunWebsites fuck you. Scientists have adopted the metric system and gave up the imperial because its shit and hard to work with in comparison. They must be idiots right? clueless moron
Yeah thats also a really nice gun! The only problem i have is i live in mpls, mn which isn't to friendly with where to fire it so i'll have to always drive 45 minutes out to my relative property to really enjoy it! but thanks again for the info. i really appriciate it bro!
Keep it clean, don't shot lead ammo that doesn't have a jacket on it and don't over oil it. You do that and it will out live both of us. Enjoy your gun bro. I got the G21 in 45, love that gun.
I own both of these weapons and highly recommend them both. Thank you for posting this video. Both of them are great for pocket carry which is the best in my view. I have carried inside the waist. belt holster and should holster and pocket carry is the best for me. I have also carried both of these weapons at the same time, in a field jacket, front breast pockets
I feel sorry for my mates in the U.K. I am so glad I can carry here in the U.S.A. They conned you into giving up your personal protection. I hope you get your gun rights back. Criminals are the only ones aremed there. Criminals love gun control.
I have both and rotate which on to carry each day, the 2 best personal protection handguns on he market. I always forget im even wearing it on my ankle
My friend,I think you are off a little on the prices.I don't know what the LCR cost but I purchased the LCP for $279.00 at Tanners Sports Center,Jamison,Pa. I understand you are probably quoting MSRP but I don't know how many gunhops charge retail anymore.I would guess that most gun stores discount to some degree.OR,maybe the place where I buy all my guns sell guns in volume,they don't have to charge retail.
GREAT INFO .....THANK YOU ! now looking to replace my 380 "POS" for A real one! A shoulder BACK UP (when sitting in the car) To my BERETTA AUTO 40 calib.!! Economy Suscribes the influance of my Decision to carry! Im a senior and a lot of us get accosted for A few dollors. Last week a 95 old got knoced to the ground By 2 mexican girls for her purse in wal-mart Parking lot going to her sons car!! She DIED FROM HEAD INJURIES !! Harry-Reno nevada
the LCP is also VERY accurate, my dad hit a steel gas canister at 100 yards first shot with ours. of course he was aiming about 4 feet over the target but it was still straight.
I own the Ruger LCR revolver. 1st time i shot it, the recoil from the gun gave my trigger finger a blood blister in area where my trigger finger rubs against the top of the trigger guard. Plus, i found the LCR revolver to have quite heavy trigger pull compared to other guns i've shot. For such a small gun, I wonder if the round it chambers carries too much powder.
@Anonymous6291 No, but in a Blackhawk .357 convertible you can shoot 9mm by changing the cylinder. It would be possible to make a .380 cylinder for it, but the factory does not make one.
I've never shot or handled the LCR, but I can't stand the LCP. It's borderline too small to handle with the design of the magazine eject. It's easy to accidentally eject the mag with your thumb while firing, and as, I believe, a safety feature the gun will not fire without a magazine. It won't even fire the round in the chamber after the magazine is re-inserted until the round is cycled. At least this is what I've noticed about the gun, or is there something wrong with my dad's? Post-recall
Oddly, I carry both. The LCP is so easy to conceal I just carry it everywhere (legally). The LCR to me is a bit bulky for a small to mid-sized framed man as myself. The LCP seems to kick less with corbon's excellent DPX loads. The LCR goes in an IWB holster whenever it is appropriate. The LCP is always in a pocket. I definitely have more fun practicing with my LCR though. I hope that I will never require the services of either.
@qwastic yes my good man, there are ways to hold them that help, however, these small light guns are not made to be pleasant to shoot but there are some that are.
@qwastic keep shooting, your hand will get used to the stress... One of the first guns I shot was a .357 mag I think I was 9 or 10 (talk about getting your hand hurt!)
From a math point of view .380 and .38 are the same thing. So I can sort of see where the assumption comes from. But, in Gun world they are different.
im looking for a hand gun like this i have around 1000 im willing to spend
i just want something that does not weigh much im debaiting on revolver or pistol i know the revolver wont jam but they cost more what i have looked at i just want something i can carry live on base and i drive to places alot i also want my girlfriend to be able to use the gun she has never shot before other than my remington 597 .22 LR im looking for something easy to use and cheat
@rickg156 I know most people use automatics at the range. I also see this happen a lot: They try to fire with the safety on or, with the magazine not fully seated, (hence no round chambered.) Sometimes they jam. Even the best ones can't cycle a weak round. Some are very ammo brand picky. For weaker hands, some limp wrist jam. If the shooter practices regularly these are minimized, and autos hold more rounds. If the shooter rarely shoots a revolver is probably better.
I love my LCP. perfect 24/7 carry gun with desantis nemesis pocket holster. I would like to have an LCR, but seems a little big for pocket carry. Good vid
Faced with the choice, I would take the LCR. Not only do I trust the .38 Special as a man stopper a lot more than I would a .380 ACP, but I have noticed that ammo availability and selection is much better for the .38 than the .380. I have been shooting for 17 years, and overall the .38 just works better for me. Like you said, it's just a matter of preference, and what works for you. Keep the target in sight.
Nice vid !! .... how many rounds have you put threw your lcr ?? What kind of holsters do you have for it as will ?? Keep up the Great vids i hope to see more on the lcr and lcp thay are both Great guns from what i have seen..
i have a lcp and carry it daily. used to use a pocket holster until I installed a KelTec P3AT belt clip. Cost about $12 bucks online, took 30min to install -- and its great. a must for any LCP owner. Tucks inside the waste band and looks like a pocket knife. sitting, driving, running around whatever...damn things are so streamline and lowprofile you can carry anywhere without hassle. honesly i often will forget youve got it with ya sometimes.
guns are cool people should have them stop fighting why does everyone find some sort of stupid reason to fight cant u just repect the video go "ohh cool guns" jesus christ settle the fuck down you are ur fuckin rights and shit WTF
I have both and they are awesome, great quality weapons, easy to carry and I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a primary of a back-up carry weapon
Very nice review, thanks. A matter of taste as you said. I like my LCP. Guess I'm bias, ha, since that's what I have. It is smaller for daily carry for licensed concealed carry in my opinion. I can reload it faster than a revolver if need be, it's reliable so far as I know. With that said, no doubt the revolver is more technically reliable it ya have a little more carry room and are OK reloading a revolver quickly..
This pattern fits Stats from England (where violent crime was traditonally half of the us) with in a year of outlawing guns london crime murder and violent crime rates rose higher than any us city. While Switzerland (whose compulsory military reserve laws require all military age citizens to keep their issue fully automatic weapon in there home)has the lowest violent crime rate in europe (less than 2 home invasions or breakins nationwide per year),
I rem the Dunblane massacre, and the banning of handguns in the UK, I was 17 and at the time I was competition shooting .22Longman, I had got everything ready for applying for my fullbore licence when I was to hit 18. I was gutted.
The .22 licence went from £18/year to £356/year overnight due to all the stupid bullshit gunlaw revisions. It became too expensive to do and I gave it up a year or so later.
It simply took guns away from genuine law abiding users, not criminals
"Is there less crime with guns used in florida than in a state like ny or Illinois?"
in the mid 90's florida was the first state to pass right to carry permit laws in the first 2 years violent crime droped 38% according to the FBI. in perspective crime droped nationwide (in the same time peroid) by 4% California Illinois NY and DC all saw 5- 15% increases.
wondering after reading the comment about gun crime in florida.... Is there less crime with guns used in florida than in a state like ny or Illinois? And does anyone know the amount of armed citizens stopping violent crime because they're armed? Hard to keep tabs on this stuff I guess.
@roygump There is data available for both of those incidences. Go check out something likes the US Concealed Carry Association or a similar organization, they compile that data. You could also just look at the raw data from Florida. But I'll save you some time and tell you that the violent crime/murder rates since the carry laws went into effect have dropped far lower that U.S. averages and good people defend themselves with firearms all the time.
Thanks for responding. Looking forward to further reviews. Side note: I have a good friend working with the sherrif's office who carries the LCP as his back up. He swears by its ease of carry.Just has to keep checking to be sure it's still there- it's that light!
there is no 380 test wit different ammo ..im in Canada so there is no possibility its gunna happen for me..but wet phone book with maybe cor-bons, jhp, any bonded jhp and u would be a star...a hole lot of talk about pennitration with 380..hollos speed up but du they punch the 9inch we all need or the fmjs that hit the 12in- 13inch could be better ??? du u feel undergunned?????cant wait to hear back thanks alot
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You know where i come from, only criminals own guns. Criminals generally shoot at each other here. I like it that way. The idea of a pistol that people could walk around with in their pocket is just asking for trouble. You only need a gun when everyone else has one. When no one has one, they become unneccessary. Coming from another country, some of america's firearm policies seem a little archaic. Dont mean to shit on the 2nd ammendment, im just saying. Americans dont need guns. Africans do.
@BigLarryT That's kind of a moot point considering how 1) firearms are here to stay because the main purpose of the 2nd amendment is to guarantee decent weaponry to the citizenry in the event of (another) revolt and 2) almost anything can be used as a weapon and can be lethal if you are committed to killing someone with it. Most people can't adequately protect themselves with a steak knife, but a thug can easily mug someone using one. "God made man, but Samuel Colt made them equal."
In the United States, You have three types of people. Criminals, victims and armed citizens. Criminals here shoot at each other AND everyone else. They shoot anything from babies to the elderly. They shoot at the police, firefighters and anyone else to accomplish their goal. Criminals here don't have any sort of supposed "ethical code" so to speak as they apparently do where you come from. Here we have the right to bear arms. And we have the full intention of keeping that right.
when you live in places like chicago, where politics is controlled by democrats, and the gun control laws are so prohibitive that only the criminals have guns, the innocent citizens dont, so we get killed. Go to Florida, where common sense, 2nd amendment conservatives rule, and anyone can own a gun, thus stopping dead in their tracks, all assholes who want to perpetrate crimes on the rest of us. Give citizens the right to own a gun, and the criminal thinks twice before assaulting anyone.
Save your political bull crap.... what Chicago law are you talking about.... as of 2009 laws were relaxed for Illinois for limited CCW. Do you have a FOID? Do you know what it is? Illinois Firearm Owners ID Card (FOID) you have limited CCW ability... so run along. YOU THINK FLORIDA IS A SAFE PLACE TO LIVE. HA HA!~ Florida? Isn't that where GOP perverts Mark Foley (R-FL) and Bob Allen (R-state rep) were from? Ha ha!
Go ahead and carry with your FOID card. I will lock you up and charge you with Aggravated Unlawful Use of Weapon, a Class 4 Felony. It says right on the FOID Card This Card Does not allow you to UNLAWFULLY Carry firearms. Read your laws the only exceptions are Law Enforcement and Armed Security. Armed Security only gets to carry 1 hour before or 1 hour after their shift. The ILCS for UUW in case you are curious is
720 ILCS 5/24‑1.6) Sec. 24‑1.6. Aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.

From a math point of view .38 and .380 are the same thing. But in Gun world they are not.

From a math point of view .380 and .38 are the same thing. So I can sort of see where the assumption comes from. But, in Gun world they are different.

@starshock01 No, you cannot. The two calibers are incompatible.

@starshock01 No. definitely not. By your logic you should be able to shoot a .380 out of a 9mm gun, or a 9mm round out of a .380.
You can fire .38 Special out of a .357, but not the other way around. Same thing with .44 Special ammo in a .44 magnum gun

@rickg156 get the 380 lcp i got 1 badass gun recoil isnt to bad crazt knock down power or a tarus 45 mill edtion
flaboi8998 1 year ago
@rickg156 I know most people use automatics at the range. I also see this happen a lot: They try to fire with the safety on or, with the magazine not fully seated, (hence no round chambered.) Sometimes they jam. Even the best ones can't cycle a weak round. Some are very ammo brand picky. For weaker hands, some limp wrist jam. If the shooter practices regularly these are minimized, and autos hold more rounds. If the shooter rarely shoots a revolver is probably better.

I love my LCP. perfect 24/7 carry gun with desantis nemesis pocket holster. I would like to have an LCR, but seems a little big for pocket carry. Good vid
peiceBwithU 1 year ago
Faced with the choice, I would take the LCR. Not only do I trust the .38 Special as a man stopper a lot more than I would a .380 ACP, but I have noticed that ammo availability and selection is much better for the .38 than the .380. I have been shooting for 17 years, and overall the .38 just works better for me. Like you said, it's just a matter of preference, and what works for you. Keep the target in sight.

LCP is a semi-auto. It's very small and you may get kissed by the slide when you fire it. Always check for that BEFORE you buy.

i have a lcp and carry it daily. used to use a pocket holster until I installed a KelTec P3AT belt clip. Cost about $12 bucks online, took 30min to install -- and its great. a must for any LCP owner. Tucks inside the waste band and looks like a pocket knife. sitting, driving, running around whatever...damn things are so streamline and lowprofile you can carry anywhere without hassle. honesly i often will forget youve got it with ya sometimes.

Very nice review, thanks. A matter of taste as you said. I like my LCP. Guess I'm bias, ha, since that's what I have. It is smaller for daily carry for licensed concealed carry in my opinion. I can reload it faster than a revolver if need be, it's reliable so far as I know. With that said, no doubt the revolver is more technically reliable it ya have a little more carry room and are OK reloading a revolver quickly..

This pattern fits Stats from England (where violent crime was traditonally half of the us) with in a year of outlawing guns london crime murder and violent crime rates rose higher than any us city. While Switzerland (whose compulsory military reserve laws require all military age citizens to keep their issue fully automatic weapon in there home)has the lowest violent crime rate in europe (less than 2 home invasions or breakins nationwide per year),

@sgalentine
I rem the Dunblane massacre, and the banning of handguns in the UK, I was 17 and at the time I was competition shooting .22Longman, I had got everything ready for applying for my fullbore licence when I was to hit 18. I was gutted.
The .22 licence went from £18/year to £356/year overnight due to all the stupid bullshit gunlaw revisions. It became too expensive to do and I gave it up a year or so later.
It simply took guns away from genuine law abiding users, not criminals

"Is there less crime with guns used in florida than in a state like ny or Illinois?"
in the mid 90's florida was the first state to pass right to carry permit laws in the first 2 years violent crime droped 38% according to the FBI. in perspective crime droped nationwide (in the same time peroid) by 4% California Illinois NY and DC all saw 5- 15% increases.

wondering after reading the comment about gun crime in florida.... Is there less crime with guns used in florida than in a state like ny or Illinois? And does anyone know the amount of armed citizens stopping violent crime because they're armed? Hard to keep tabs on this stuff I guess.
roygump 2 years ago
@roygump There is data available for both of those incidences. Go check out something likes the US Concealed Carry Association or a similar organization, they compile that data. You could also just look at the raw data from Florida. But I'll save you some time and tell you that the violent crime/murder rates since the carry laws went into effect have dropped far lower that U.S. averages and good people defend themselves with firearms all the time.

Thanks for responding. Looking forward to further reviews. Side note: I have a good friend working with the sherrif's office who carries the LCP as his back up. He swears by its ease of carry.Just has to keep checking to be sure it's still there- it's that light!

You know where i come from, only criminals own guns. Criminals generally shoot at each other here. I like it that way. The idea of a pistol that people could walk around with in their pocket is just asking for trouble. You only need a gun when everyone else has one. When no one has one, they become unneccessary. Coming from another country, some of america's firearm policies seem a little archaic. Dont mean to shit on the 2nd ammendment, im just saying. Americans dont need guns. Africans do.

I would tend to agree that if no one has weapons, then no one NEEDS weapons, BUT, wouldn't you like to have the right?
BigLarryT 2 years ago
@BigLarryT That's kind of a moot point considering how 1) firearms are here to stay because the main purpose of the 2nd amendment is to guarantee decent weaponry to the citizenry in the event of (another) revolt and 2) almost anything can be used as a weapon and can be lethal if you are committed to killing someone with it. Most people can't adequately protect themselves with a steak knife, but a thug can easily mug someone using one. "God made man, but Samuel Colt made them equal."

In the United States, You have three types of people. Criminals, victims and armed citizens. Criminals here shoot at each other AND everyone else. They shoot anything from babies to the elderly. They shoot at the police, firefighters and anyone else to accomplish their goal. Criminals here don't have any sort of supposed "ethical code" so to speak as they apparently do where you come from. Here we have the right to bear arms. And we have the full intention of keeping that right.

when you live in places like chicago, where politics is controlled by democrats, and the gun control laws are so prohibitive that only the criminals have guns, the innocent citizens dont, so we get killed. Go to Florida, where common sense, 2nd amendment conservatives rule, and anyone can own a gun, thus stopping dead in their tracks, all assholes who want to perpetrate crimes on the rest of us. Give citizens the right to own a gun, and the criminal thinks twice before assaulting anyone.

Save your political bull crap.... what Chicago law are you talking about.... as of 2009 laws were relaxed for Illinois for limited CCW. Do you have a FOID? Do you know what it is?

Go ahead and carry with your FOID card. I will lock you up and charge you with Aggravated Unlawful Use of Weapon, a Class 4 Felony. It says right on the FOID Card This Card Does not allow you to UNLAWFULLY Carry firearms. Read your laws the only exceptions are Law Enforcement and Armed Security. Armed Security only gets to carry 1 hour before or 1 hour after their shift. The ILCS for UUW in case you are curious is
720 ILCS 5/24‑1.6) Sec. 24‑1.6. Aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.
