As Rickbin noted in his Shotshow post a while back, the Canadian built LRLX data is “solely yours” while the Taiwan built Xero’s data can be accessed by a third party.
I guess whenever a guy turns on his Garmin he should say “hi” to the Chinese…. If that is a concern then don't use the phone app.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Supporting Leftist Canada vs. American ally Taiwan is a reason to buy a larger and heavier chrono that performs equally well? Is this some kind of joke or is the guy getting financial support from Labradar?
I haven’t bought a new chrono and still use my 35P. But when I buy a new one it’ll be the smallest and lightest reliable unit I can fit in my range bag, as long as the battery life is enough to last for 3-4 hours of shooting. Based on everything I’ve seen and read so far the Garmin seems to be the right choice.

Pretty sure the mobile phone is leaking more info than the Garmin ever will.

Would anybody here happen to know which one might be better for just handgun, 25 yards?

I just shot my pellet gun in the back yard over the Garmin and it picked every one of the 7 shots. Very impressive. I have used it a grand total of 3 times now with everything from pellet rifle to 223, 30-06, 30-30, 9mm, 40, 45, and it has not missed a shot yet! Yep pricey but the damn thing works great.

I have both and I don’t use the LabRadar at all anymore. The Garmin is just to easy to use, never misses a shot, and setup is easier too. It’s just the easy button.

I have been really enjoying my Garmin. My buddy who has a LabRadar (original) bought the Garmin since he is a techno freak.
He brought it to the range ladt week but forgot the little tripod it comes with. He just took the Garmin and sat it on a plastic ammo box and went to shooting. I thought it was amusing!
Faith and love of others knows no mileage nor bounds. That's simply the way it is.
