Still my go to carry gun these days. Mine is super reliable and THE most comfortable gun I have to carry. There is something about the ease of operation, and how easy it is to shoot that makes me not want to switch it up anytime soon. Looking at picking up a second one as a backup, the old two is one and one is none idea. Thanks for some more great info brother!
@@CrawlingAxle I use hogue g10 grips and a cardini iwb leather holster I got off of Amazon. Most comfortable appendix setup I have found.. I have tried a ton lol
Did you modify that grip other than the shoe goo? Notice that they look more bantam patterned and not the new finger groove style. Seems everything for j-frame is also much larger that stock grips when you want to get a laser module. Also, seems hard to find green lasers as compared to red.
Well if I want to see something different from the norm, this is the channel. No solvent and a wire brush on the cylinder shocked me, but I see the point. I'm at the other extreme where I use CLR on my LCR to remove any carbon debris, take the cylinder off and thoroughly clean it. Of course I make sure not to let the CLR sit on the metal very long as well as to neutralize it afterwards. This cleaning method looks like a winner.
I was finally able to get a LCR in .22. Great gun, have about 500 rounds through it. Aguila ammo locked it up (that ammo gives all my guns fits) but the LCR ate everything else. Zero duds so far, which is amazing for a .22. I have to make sure I don't short stroke the trigger when shooting rapidly, but that's on me. Great to be able to shoot without breaking the bank or dealing with malfunctions!
I have found the Aquila Extra 22lr to be comparable to Cci and a little cheaper per round in my semi autos. I haven't used it in my revolvers; however, in my semi autos it is a little dirty. Ammo by gun is a topic all by itself!
So I was at the range today shooting some really cheap Aguila ammo it's pretty sticky and it was hard to extract so initially what I did is I held the gun and I popped the plunger and the entire cylinder landed on the table I was a bit startled by this but I found I could slide the cylinder back on and it would snap into place so for future ejection I would hold the cylinder itself and pop the plunger to eject the spent casings, is this normal?
1st I see Paul Harrel clean an AR with a bar of soap and water and now I see you cleaning a revolver without anything at all. I think I'll try dry cleaning and see how it works for me.
Pure logic! And simple! I will say that at least on my lcr, adding one drop of ballistol to the interface of where the cylinder and crane meet (where it spins), does reduce my trigger pull weight. because the cylinder spins more freely with 1 drop of lightweight lubricant.
Reminds me of the scene from "The Good, the bad, and the Ugly" were he's cleaning his guns without lubrication before the bandits come in the hotel door.
Went to the range yesterday and tried this dry cleaning when I came home. Man, so clean and so smooth. When I reloaded it that nickel cased Punch slid into the chambers like BUTTER. I did the same with my 327 version. Since I mainly shoot wadcutters in that one, it needed a little more scrubbing, but ended with the same result.
1,000 rounds in two range trips? Now I'm curious about your range prep procedures and gear you bring to make getting through such high round count days with a revolver doable. Loading mags prior to getting to the range makes higher round count days with autos easy. The loading process for the 8 round 22 LCR makes feeding the gun continuously at the range a pain. I can do about 200 rounds straight before I just get tired (as in bored, not physically tired) of reloading speed strips and the Speed Beez.
😂 you’re definitely right to question. This is probably a month of neglect being shot by both myself and my wife at different times. I’ve got a lot of speed beez, but this is probably more days of buildup than 2 trips.
I generally will clean the outside of the cylinder where it’s indexed to rotate it. Don’t know that it’s necessary but if you’re already cleaning it why not? Thank you for the explanation on lubricant use.
Geez my 43c makes WAY more crud than this in 100 rounds of CCI standard (only ammo it likes), even after coming back from S&W for letting a round blow up into my hands... I think I may have to switch all my j-frames over to LCRs simply because S&W can't make my 22lr trainer right... Ugh
shouldnt you use a bore snake instead only because they say never clean the barrel starting from the end? you should clean the opposite way because it can damage the crown and affect accuracy?
Is the cylinder retained on the crane arm via detent? It popped off when the ejection rod hung up and I had to coax the ejector out via my palm but it pops right back on and seems fine. I see no threading when it comes off and appears to have a detent groove on the arm
Hmmm, I've just been dragging a bore snake through the chambers and the barrel, I guess I need to get one of those bronze brushes Of course I'm nowhere near a thousand rounds yet
I have a problem on mine, the screw located below the barrel is regularly unscrewed which creates play above the cylinder ... I don't know how to make this screw stop unscrewing at each shooting session. do you have this problem too?
Hey, I had asked about your opinions on the 43C vs LCR .22 before. I just recently did more research and I noticed that one of the biggest reasons was because the LCR has significantly more FPS for .22lr rounds. However, I am a bit concerned about short stroking the gun when compared to the much better reset of the 43C. Have you noticed less short stroking now that you have been training a lot more with the LCR, how long into your own training before that started to disappear?
Hey brother another question for you! Would you rather have the lcr .22lr or the s&w bodyguard .38 special as your solo everyday carry gun? Thank you for all the great info!!
