I have an LCRx in 38 Special and like it a lot. I carry appendix and it practically disappears. I have no desire for that gun in 9mm. Moonclips may make for a quicker reload, but are also harder to conceal than a speedstrip. I do not worry much about how quickly I can reload that gun, often I only carry the 5 in the gun. Most spend far too much time worrying about this aspect. There is very little performance difference between 9mm and 38+P from a snubby. Credit Ruger for listening to the masses, but I am fine with the old standby.


I have an LCR IN 38 in addition to my 9mm version. Lov'em both. I agree about the number of rounds. You can always think of a reason to need one more but most shootings involve 1 or 2 shots fired. I think it's much more important to have a gun that is always on me.
