[QUOTE="Tom Givens, post: 765633, member: 386"] We got a Ruger LCR snubby in today. I will wring it out in live fire next week, hopefully, but in the meantime I wanted to actually measure its dimensions and compare them to known standards. My daily BUG is a 1960 vintage Colt Cobra, with after-market wood grips. I also had a new S&W 442, with the current factory rubber grips on it. I used these to compare to the LCR. Gun cylinder diameter height OA length weight LCR 1.27 4.84 6.32 13.6 oz 442 1.30 4.45 6.41 14.8 oz Cobra 1.40 4.80 6.54 16.1 oz Note- The Cobra holds 6 rds, the Ruger and S&W hold 5. Frankly, I see no advantage over my 50 year old Colt. The difference in cylinder diameter is why S&W J-frame speedloaders wont work in the LCR. More to follow after a couple hundred rounds downrange.
