Does anyone have any other ideas on CC revolvers in 357/38? I may use it in bear country too.


The Ruger LCRx 3", 357 Mag, doesn't have the heft or classic good looks of the S&W revolvers. If you can get past that, it's a nice lightweight 357 with 3" barrel for decent ballistics. It's not a looker, but a decent tool to carry a lot, and shoot a little.

One downside is cylinder capacity. Let us say fella wants to go where there are: rattlers, copperheads, cottonmouths,.... After first two chambers loaded with birdshot only leaves you three for angry bruin guarding pile of meat!😱🤕
