Ruger LCR 38sp!

[Mr.Glock]

I am enjoying this LIGHT weight pistol. Just ran a half box through it for the 3rd time.

Is there a lighter 5 shot 38 special out there?

Any advice on which boolits will serve me well in it? Have never carried a small revolver one like this.

Have a 360 pd, smith. 12 oz, 5 shot 357. It’s a bit of a handful but 38+p are very manageable. Summer carry pocket gun. Since the wife keeps it around usually have the 38’s in it. Think I have 135 grain short barrel ammo in it. Love the light weight guns.

Georgia Arms special wadcutter load, about 14-15 inches penetration and even some slight expansion.

A full ounce lighter! Nice.

The 340PD is supposed to be 11.8oz. I have a friend that claims he's beat that with a .357 360J with a titanium cylinder from Midway installed, but I haven't personally weighed it.
I always thought the LCR was ridiculously heavy for being half polymer. I think S&W has several lighter full metal models. Eventually it gets to the point where you're weighing grips to shave fractions of an ounce off.
@pstmstr was it a 340 you showed me the other weekend? Have you put it on a scale?
