Ruger LCP or Ruger LCR

put aside any childish fantasy that you'll need more than 5 shots in an SD situation. Real Life Defense isnt a Steven Segal movie haha!

And if you've ever talked to anyone unfortunate enough to have been involved in a "real life" self-defense shoot-out, you'll soon learn that there's no such thing as having too many bullets on board. If the ammunition capacity of a handgun being employed for self-defense is a concern laced with fantasy, why is five rounds the magical number for "having enough"? Why not try loading up with just four? :eek:

Actually, this is a very good point. I never thought about it that way. Still, i'd rather have 5 in the revolver than one in a potential stovepipe position blocking countless others, which was my main point... And with further regard to reliability applied to your question "why not four rounds?", actually, I would gladly carry only four if the COP derringer was a reliable firearm. God bless and your point is well taken.
 
I'd pick both....great guns! Have you guys heard about the new LC9? It's Ruger's answer to the Kel-Tec PF-9....looks to be a SWEET CCW PIECE! I'd probably carry all 3 at some point.
 
With a single attacker 5 are enough, but with the increase of home invasions with 2 + people coming in or roving gangs, I'm realy considering someting with more than my LCR / GP100
 
blah no thanks on the 357 out of the lcr lol. I will say the the lcr is riding in my pocket right now with 38+p and that is great to carry that way though.

i never really did warm up to the lcp, but it would be one heck of a backup pistol I think, or something for very deep concealment.
 
And now your choice gets more difficult now the LC9 is now being sold. Haven't seen one yet but I am tempted as a SR9c was a candidate to replace / supplement my LCR.

Thanks for posting this. Some how the LC9 had completely flown under my radar. It is roughly the same size as a Taurus 709 Slim and the MSRP is $40 cheaper. Seems like a good buy in my book.

It is only slightly larger than a Kel Tec PF9 and actually slightly lighter. Great now I'm all confued about which one I want.
 
Good Question, but it is the same. LCP to conceal and it is great for that but the LCR is such a sweet revolver and by the way Plus P are fine in the LCR...
 
LCR for me-I have the worst luck with small autos.

But the Ruger reads to be probably the best 380 ccw on the market for the price if you want to go that way.

If I am a legal ccw holder,the print of a revolver is of little concern to me.

Function when I need it is.

I just put a Smith 638 on layaway for just this purpose.

But I already own a Taurus 85 UL that is just a bit larger then the Smith.

That's a good comparison chart los. It really puts it in perspective.

I've been debating LCR or LCP for awhile. I really like them both. I was going LCR all the way. Lately I'm leaning more towards the LCP.

Like another poster said, just might have to get both.
 
The LCP trigger you have to pull wayyyyy back before it breaks. I didn't like it much. My friend has one and he says it still jams now and then.

My vote is for the LCR.
