I’ve got a Ruger Mark III Stainless Steel. Great gun. My 9 year old twin boys shoot it very well. They want a revolver. I’ve tried several and we find the trigger pull too much for their small hands. Don’t want to modify the gun. How is the pull on this one? Any other suggestions?

Get them the Ruger Blackhawk single action. Trigger pull is light as it must be fired with the hammer cocked (thus single action). However, by having to cock each time prior to firing they will learn marksmanship and proper trigger squeeze. Besides, being it looks similar to an old Colt it has some coolness about it 😏...

I’ve read that the trigger pull on the .22 version of the LCR is terrible, unlike the other LCR revolvers.

If you go with a single action 22, check out the Heritage Rough Rider. It’s cheap, but still a quality gun.

I have an old (late 1940s) Mark II that is still competition quality accurate. Gas ramp keeps it dead on between shots.

I have the Ruger 22 LCR but not sure if it is the “X” too . . . a couple of years old. My daughter & I enjoy shooting it at the indoor range in addition to our LCR’s 357 and 38. Actually the 22 and 357 are favored over the 357. And yep, usually we’re the only Mother & Daughter there . . . many Dad’s & Sons but no Mother/Daughters. So IF your twin sons aren’t quite ready for the trigger pull they should be fairly soon.

A little late to the party, but Ruger makes a nice SA 22 revolver, 10 shots, very nice trigger, available with the day-glo sights. I have one that I bought as a range ‘plinker’, and I love it so much that my poor Mk 2 has been pining away in the safe ever since.
