Ruger LCRx .22 MAGNUM ~ FULL RUNDOWN 

In all my 79 years I have never owned a .22 magnum revolver - until today. Since I live in CA, although I own it and it's paid for, I have to wait 10 days to pick it up. Thanks for the most excellent review. It has made me even more anxious to shoot it.

You've lost your damn mind out the in the sleet I hear on audio. I thank you for your dedication. Speaks volumes on one's character.

Omg 😂 that banjo was a classy touch! Your doing a fantastic job Buffalo

The 3 inch LCRx is very underated. I would love one in 327

Honest, informative, accurate, gentle, kind, humble, and beautiful in the snow.

I've never felt you were being negative in your reviews, the real world isn't perfect. Pointing out details that some consider a "con" could be a "pro" to someone else. Keep up the great work!

I was sold on the Ruger 22 magnum long before i watched this video but you sir , do an excellent job of making me want one even more . Thank you for what you do 🙂

I appreciate your honesty

I have never seen a Buffalo Outdoors video that was a "Negative Review" of anything, that I can remember. I would say that, as far as firearms reviews go, Buffalo has consistently been an objective reviewer. Statements like "I like this particular feature/ It fits my hand perfectly/ I don't particularly like this item for the type of shooting that I will be doing/ Some people might find this item is uncomfortable when shooting/ For my use, I would swap this for.../ Overall, it seems to be a well built gun Or not" are what I want to hear when watching a firearm, component, ammunition or accessory review. The facts are stated clearly and the opinions are clearly 'labeled' as opinions. There are no opinions disguised as facts and there are no attempts to hide possibly negative features. Honesty and Integrity are obviously valued highly. On a side note; I have a very good friend who is the Chief of Police in a small, coastal North Carolina town who very much reminds me of Buffalo. He and I went through Basic Law Enforcement Training together and he taught me a lot about being objective and not "jumping to conclusions".

I’ve been wanting the .22LR version forever, but at this point any version would do. Great video as usual, stay warm! The sun finally came out in Texas.

I am a big fan of the .22 magnum cartridge. I bought a Ruger Single Six with a 6.5 inch barrel 40 years ago, and carried it a lot in the Mojave desert and the Sierra Nevada mountains. One of the things I like about it is the flat trajectory, making it relatively easy to make hits at a very long range. It is too long to use for concealed carry. In recent years I tried a Ruger LCRx for concealed carry, but because of arthritis in my trigger finger, it is very difficult for me to use double action. I also find the trigger to have a sharp edge and the hammer spur to be relatively small, so it is not very comfortable to shoot single action.

I like that .22 magnum Revolver! Sweet. Outstanding groups 👏 👌

You are one tough cookie shooting this video in the freezing rain - thanks for another cool video!!

Anybody who watches your reviews and thinks you are ever being negative is a negative person. Ignore them. Thanks again sir.

I bought the same gun after watching your first video on this , great follow-up video very detailed on your likes and dislikes . Great marksmanship by the way 👍👍

As usual, a fair and honest review, that your viewers can relate to. A gun is what it is. Thank you for showing the real world pros and cons of the firearms that you feature...

Always a great review ! You’re not negative at all , purely whole hearted and sincere about your opinions. Keep up the good work ! I like seeing videos like this out there in the sleet and snow , just a display of reality in elements that are aren’t always idealistic for outdoors enthusiasts. Those rugged Rugers can handle it too !

You say true facts and if people’s feelings are hurt that’s on them. Me personally I think it’s a neat pistol tho I haven’t held one but someday I will.

Nice revolver. I have to admire your dedication to shoot a video in the kind of weather we are all having. Ha!!! Plus hit what you are aiming at! 😁👍

I appreciate your honest reviews and how you present yourself and your videos. I give your channel a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. Keep up the good work!

Just wanted to say thank you sir. You have become one of my favorite channels, especially on the rimfires. I currently own a Ruger SP 101 in .357 magnum that I occasionally carry apendix,(its heavy) and a LCRx .38 special that lives in the cup holder of my truck along with a speedloader. Working around my place I carry a Heritge Rough Rider with a 6 inch barrel and .22 wmr rat shot to dispatch various unwanted critters. I also own numerous Ruger rifles, (good quality firearms!). Now comes my complaint, I never knew I needed to replace my Rough Rider until I saw this video! Even with the crappy trigger weight, this thing is a dream! I have always thought that a 3 inch barrel was a perfect length for a yard gun, and in .22wmr it is perfect! So now, I have to find one! Thanks Buffalo, I gotta spend more money! LOL! Keep up the good work and greetings from Arkansas.

The TruGlo fiber optic front sight really improved my accuracy with this gun and it is easy to install.

I just picked up a LCRX 22WMR snub-nose. The only thing I was surprised at is the weight. I thought it would weigh a lot less then my S&W 642 but it's only a little under an ounce; that's with both guns fully loaded. I'm a fan of the 22WMR round. Thanks for the good review. I didn't find anything negative.

There is nothing like shooting in the cold and snow. Revolvers love it as it keeps their barrels cool longer. Neat little gun to have. I had one in .38 with the short barrel but now have the three inch barrel. You can carry these revolvers all day long everywhere without trouble and they will handle any trouble that comes your way.

Awesome! Can't wait to see the velocity tests btwn the rifle & revolver 👍 thanks Buffalo

Thank you Buffalo for get again another one of these videos if you keep it up I'm going to end up buying 1 of these ruger LCRX

What a class act Buffalo is - always! I think he has the highest thumbs up ratio out of anyone else I visit. He is by far my favorite...by far.

“It’s a button…you push it…” Simple but great point!

Best review channel out there. I would prefer you to point out any little flaws any day! Keep up the good work and thanks for all the great information.

I love this gun - I have one, and did a review on my channel last year (although you did a much better job). I do love your style of review, and your flat out honesty! Not to mention the dedication to record this out in the weather like that. Kudos!

"Buffalo's Tactical Fir Tree Course" 🤣

Just bought the 3" LCRx after watching your review of the three 22 WMR cartridges with a different gun. Your review of this gun is honest and spot on. Feed it some Federal Punch and it's a happy camper. I don’t mind it's "only 6". Or the heavy trigger. And i often end up pulling cases out of 38spcl and 357mag wheel guns i own. Heat expands the casing of any cartridge and they stick. Maybe a longer ejector would be good, but I don't care. For me it's a great piece for kit packing, or just target shooting. Love your presentation of the weather at the beginning. Really sets the mood. Fine production and honest reviews!

I like your videos. They are informative as well as entertaining. Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching.

I like your videos! Helpful info. Ive had 4 lcrs but fun, useful videos are hard to come by. You keep makin em and I'll keep watchin. Oh my 22lr LCRX was kinda heavy on the trigger but it has lightened up with use. Thanks Buffalo.

thats one killer banjo

You are an awesome person for doing this excellent video. That ice makes for beautiful images for sure. Now go inside and get warm young man!

Good shooting from the trees in double action

Excellent photography! Always enjoy your presentations.

Honest reviews are always Appreciated !!

Aside from the ejector rod, I’d love to see a 7 or 8 round version and a 4 inch barrel.

Thanks for the honest review. I have been looking at this 22WMR for a while and going back and forth as on whether I should get one. I love the Ruger LCR line of revolvers. I have three different calibers all in their snub nose versions. They are all very reliable and easy to shoot. I just wish this came as an 8 shot revolver like the 22lr does. Taurus makes an 8 shot 22WMR revolver right now and that's where my indecision is coming from.

Your reviews are spot on

That gun been on my radar...

some just get butt hurt. you state the things that you dont like and some of them i dont like. Example the short ejector rod. But I still want this one and the 22 lr one also. Another great job and for toughing out the damn ice, snow and the cold we have had this past week here in the bluegrass state. Stay safe buddy

Love the mood created by the weather.

Another solid review, thank you Buffalo! I'm looking forward to the LCRx .22lr review.... btw the range is looking beautiful, I love snow lol

EXCELLENT review - any of yours I’ve seen have been great.

That looks a Nice and fun revolver to shoot 👍

I'm a new subscriber and looking to get into one of these LCR x I have the regular LCR in 38 special +p and love it and appreciate an honest review especially when it comes to my guns and I think yours has been the best so far you do a great job for those of us who know what we're looking for keep up the good work look forward to more of your videos God bless and stay safe

Love mine. Only "issue" in the beginning was a really rough crane latch release button. Thumb wore out trying to break it in. A couple hundred reps pushing with a dowel did the trick. Great little gun and a great rundown.

I enjoyed the shooting and the scenery. I especially liked the backwoods shooting from concealment. I think today after church I'm going to break out my Ruger Single Six and shoot some with my grandson.

Wonderful and refreshing review. I agree on your points. The 22lr needs a recessed crown. I would also pay a few extra bucks for a longer ejection rod on the mag since it could potentially be used for protection.

I really want one of those LRCx .22 WMR revolvers now! Oh, and BTW, your range is awesome, makes me just a tiny bit jealous. Thanks for making the video, even though it was cold then.

Appreciate the review, well done as always.

Hahaha! I guess if you remember to tip up and shout “hiya!” when hitting the ejector rod there is no problem. Yet another fine video. You are a hell of a fine shooter!!

Great review Buffalo. Thanks for sharing!

Great job as Usual!!! Your approach to every video is great....I'm going to revisit the 327 Mag version vid as well... Wish 327 would catch on BIG!!!

Great intro, good music and visuals. We're in the deep freeze here in western Pennsylvania too👍👍

Top notch review Buffalo 🐃 Furthermore filmed during an icestorm in Kentucky WITHOUT a single complaint about the weather 👍🇺🇸👍

Thanks for the comment on the heavy trigger. My aging hands are having increasing trouble with double action triggers, even on our Dan Wesson. Really appreciate the caution.

Great review. I'm glad its not raining.

You are a trooper being out there in that cold as nice job....Good stuff....

Got mine this week. Your review was a big factor in my decision.

spring is right around the corner... and Kentucky's 5th season starts. you know . we have spring, summer, fall, winter they are each one month long interupted by 6 months of MUD! Great video Buffalo.

That banjo music hits just right Buffalo

Thank you!

Love that War Cry. 9:59 Your firearm reviews don't disappoint.

Enjoyed the cold weather testing!

Great review as usual. Thanks Buffalo !!!!

The freezing rain reminds me of Qual Day at MCRD Parris Island (1977) iron sights OLD CORPS! There was also a wicked crosswind. I had the dubious distinction of being the high shooter that day with a score of 214. In the subsequent 6 years, I consistently shot Expert. Thanks for another quality video.. This looks much like Northern Michigan where I live.

...and now you’ve got me wanting another gun.... 😳🤣😂😎 Great review, Buffalo. Keep doing what you are doing, we appreciate it all.

Nice video buffalo! You have the best soundtracks!!!

The targeted groups was impressive as was the Evergreen tactical pistol course! 😁 I know the groups were only 7 yards but that is inviting me to want to try one. Great video my friend. God bless all here.

Good review. Great scenery!!

thanks for the honest review. I was hoping it was an 8 shot as well.

Always an entertaining and honest review 👍🏻

I've done my share of shooting firearms (prob. 25%of Buffalo's) and My honest findings with reliability of pistol caliber cartridge's is of course .22lr 1or2 out of 500 or so were dud's/ .22wmr 0 out of 500 or so failed to fire/ 9mm 1or2 out of 1000 to 1500 were dud's/ .38spl-.357mag. 1 of 1000 once in a blue moon was a dud/ .45acp 1 dud is all I can remember. Just the honest truth as I've had occur in my last 20 or so year's. I'm referring to quality ammo. No cheap stuff ‼️As long as a Man/Woman Knows their weapon and has confidence in shot placement, I see No problem with .22wmr as a defensive cal. Thanks Buffalo 👍

Most helpful insights ... thank you

I ran 8 kinds of ammo through one and I found the 45 grain Hornady critical defense was the best.

This was a very good review and exactly what I needed to hear and to see. I do appreciate it when reviewers will go out into inclement weather to film. I'm in SoCal and our idea of "inclement " is when it is less then 70 degrees.

I appreciate your honesty thanks

I enjoy your videos and appreciate your assessments. Thankyou!

We love Buffalo!

Nice work Buffalo,good shooting,thanks.

I’d buy one in a second. Good review. Keep it real. And nice shooting.

I know all about scrapping ice off the bench for a review lol. Great video buddy very informative. I so wish I could find of these!

I always appreciate your honesty, Buffalo. You also have a knack for clarity. Good on ya. I've got the .357 LCRx and enjoy shooting .38 and .38+p through it. Not so much the .357's. Arthritis bites me back when I do that. But I found, just before the freeze we're in, a grip called the "ergo" grip and put that on to see if it might help. I'll let you know how that goes.

Thanks for this review Buffalo! I have the Taurus 992 Tracker which, as I'm sure you know, comes with interchangeable cylinders for both 22LR and 22 Magnum. I like having the ability to shoot both of these 22 rounds and only carry one revolver but I'll be looking at the 22 Magnum Ruger revolver because of its polymer/aluminum build, because the Tracker is a much heavier gun. Looking forward to more videos on this fine revolver and that 22 Magnum rifle you bought! Good luck finding ammo though.

I like your style, and honesty. Great Firearm thanks Be well

Good review. Honest, not negative. Like to see the review on the .327 gun. Thanks.

really enjoyed this. sounds like a great gun

Excellent review sir!

Looks to be a solid choice. I see you have a winter wonderland going there :)

It usually rains when you're filming, today it's just ice. Nice shooting, thanks for the dedication.

That is such a good looking gun. I love the LCR series. That is definitely a bit larger than the standard snubbies, but I have noticed the LCR's are a bit larger tham a J-frame or Charter arms- I can usually get away using a LCR holster for some of the others, but not the other way around. I love the sneaky shooting around the ice covered pine trees lol- that steel never saw you coming! I was out shooting a revolver in the snow this weekend as well :) My groups were not as good, but it was 24, windy and snowing. after a little while I couldn't feel my fingers. Thats my excuse anyway. I had 3.25" groups out of my Smith and Wesson 617 with garbage Winchester super x bulk 22 at 10 yards- I was shooting at 10 yards cause the target stand was already stuck in the snow there

I enjoy your content, thanks Buffalo

I own this gun and your review is spot on.

Damn!! You got a helluva lot more ice the we did. Im about 30 min north of louisville. I love that ruger by the way! Stay warm.

Thanks Buffalo!!👍👍

I've always wanted one of these. Good groups
