Poly revolvers

I know, I know....no one wants to hear about a Taurus. but this particular model....not the smallest, but it is light and rated for .357(the .357 puts a hurtin on ya boy, NO JOKE), it carries fantastically. and for the small price of 300$ and having at the very least 1500 rounds through it to this day. it shoots extremely straight and my wife carries it everyday, and I carry it if she is staying home. I am so very happy with the pistol



I do have one complaint, I wish it had stronger rifling, although I haven't been able to notice any inaccuracy because of, it just doesn't seem to be that deep. maybe a non issue....I would just think deeper rifling would be better
 
Are the Taurus or Chiappa polymer models that much cheaper than their alloy counterparts? I know S&W and Ruger price their polymer revolvers at almost the same as alloy revolvers.
 
Chiappa Poly Lite Rhino has yet to hit the market. Still a wet dream. Only Taurus and Ruger so far.

With Taurus, and Ruger coming out with new guns almost weekly it seems, I'm hoping for a new big bore poly. Something between the LCR/Poly Protector, and Judge PD Poly in 44 Special.:D
Either company would get my $$$$ for this gun.
 
I hate the concept

I think the Ruger LCR is a hideous abortion of a design.
And yet, I keep hearing really good things about it.
I'm tempted to, at least, rent one at my local range and see if my prejudice can be overcome.

That description should be used exclusively for the CheCrappa Rhino!:eek:
Just how different is the LCR in looks from a humpback S&W?
You do owe it to yourself to try an LCR. Really great little snubbie.:D

That's how I felt about the LCR when I first laid eyes on one.

A bit of that feeling went away after I dry fired one, and felt how nice the trigger is.

I've shot .357 J frames of every flavor , from the all stainless model 60's to the ultra light weight titanium cylinder 11 oz jobs and the ones in between.

None of the J frame .357's were pleasant to shoot with Magnum loads, particularly full power stuff. Mid range loads weren't awful, but still not fun.

I've also never found J's to have particularly good triggers, and poor ergonomics. Yes, I understand the tradeoffs for a gun that size.

After shooting an LCR 357 with mid range AND full power Magnum loads, I walked away VERY impressed. Much easier gun to shoot well. Superior trigger and ergonomics, and less felt recoil IMO.

Considering how much I didn't want to like it, I walked away with a very favorable opinion of the LCR.

It's not much to look at, but I'd think long and hard before I passed one over for any J frame.
 
They are ugly, no doubt about that.

But, with all the positive comments... I've been thinking of giving the LCR a try. I'll have to see if the local range has any I can try out.

I would love to loose a couple ounces from my S&W 642, it's not much but hey it's some. Also the supposedly better trigger and greater recoil control really have my attention. I am open to it, but still I think it isn't pretty but that isn't that important.
 
The Ruger is very nouveau tough, that cylinder shows they embraced a new aesthetic rather than downplay it. I like that, but I still like the Smith & Wesson in my pocket and the Vaquero on the coffee table. We are blessed with many forms and styles.
