Ruger LCR 38 special+P

Have you fired this, yet?

I thought it was a pretty neat little gun. The local gun range had one I rented and fired at the range.

In the words of the guy behind the counter, it's got a 'snappy' recoil.

He was right. I only fired it with .38 Special and the recoil was pretty sharp. I wouldn't recommend these for the fairer sex, especially with +P rounds.

“Have you fired this, yet?”

Well, there is a story there. I bought this gun while I was having cataract eye surgery on both eyes. Someone asked me if I had gone to the gun range. I told that person that right now one eye doesn’t see like the other eye and I probably couldn’t see the target, much less hit it. Then the Texas heat set in so I’m waiting for cooler weather to do that. The old Colt 38 special has a monster kick and I’ve dealt with that and know how to absorb that kick so I don’t break my arms. Not using +P.
