Conclusion

Content: On the opposite extreme from the Coonan is this Ruger LCRx — a .38 Special +P, five-shot revolver with a 3-inch barrel. Weighing just more than 15 ounces, the LCRx feels like nothing in your hand. Firing .38s from this gun gives you a push back into the web of your hand and is largely absent of any drama. It’s a simple gun, to be sure, and it’s accurate, reliable and carry-able, and therein lies its excellence. Most five-shot .38s are snubbies. With a 3-inch barrel, you can enjoy a tad more velocity and accuracy — not bad traits for a defensive handgun. The other nice feature of the LCRx is the Hogue Tamer Monogrip. This rubber grip provides excellent purchase and allows all your digits a place to go. Typical reaction: “ That was really smooth and easy to shoot.
