Used to carry a Glock 19 IWB, a G26 in a ankle rig and 2 17 round spare magazines. I was tactical as all get out. Now I'm more practical (and a lot older). A Glock 30s, 1911 or a .38 Special is all I carry. I'm good with 5 rounds of .38 Special and a 6 round speed strip in my pocket. That Ruger LCR will serve you just fine if that's what YOU choose to carry. Thanks for sharing
Unless you are a "professional" of some kind; Unless you are planning to travel close to a BLM-rally; You don't need too-much gun on your person. I'm in my late-forties and I have never been in a gunfight, let alone been attacked by a pack of gun-toting ninjas. LCR in .38 is plenty.
I am a real estate agent and every so often have to venture into the city (Minneapolis) where post 2020, the emboldened perps commonly travel in packs with high quality firearms, often having 30 round magazines. I roll with a P365 or the X Macro minimum (sadly).
I've had a 3" Ruger LCRx for a few months. It's lighter than most revolvers I have but is a good shooter and well made. When it comes to revolvers, Ruger delivers.
We just started shoot the LCR in 357, first thing was the trigger is not as good as the LCRx. LCRx is a great carry choice. Thanks for the view Weatherly, UGD
Those are challenging pistols to choose for trying out DA shooting: both are super-light (not as stable as a heavier revolver) and the S&W is a snubby with reduced grip purchase and all the shot-energy will transfer right to your hand. I have three LCRx's; .38 snubby, .38 3", and .22LR 3". They are all keepers. Great guns!
That is the correct word. It will not disappoint with the trigger Ruger runs. Getting to love Ruger products, picked up the EC9s for review this week. Thanks for the view Xzeros, UGD
I like mine, the only problem I've had was the pin in the rear sight jarring loose while firing. In fact I lost the original pin, but Ruger sent me a new one and its been good ever since. Actually the only other thing was that little white patch on the front sight also came out, so if its important to you to have the contrast, definitely change out for a different sight, I've just elected to forget about it, I grew up on black on black sights anyway,
I had a 9mm, 38, and 357mag LCR or LCRX. Couldn’t warm up to them. All shot good, but just bigger and bulkier then an Airweight. And no decent pocketable grips available! Love browsing the selection of J Frame grips, could spend hours drooling over them. Current EDC small pistol is Springfield Armory 911 (replaced my last G42 cause I’m just as accurate with it and it’s smaller and cooler looking) in a Remora Micro holster for AIWB carry or a Desantis Superfly for pocket carry. Glock 17/Gen3 another time, in a JM Customs Wing 2.5. Can’t find a place for the G2C, even though it’s a good pistol and has never failed, I just don’t like the recoil. Sissy Guy here, and prefers a bigger weapon. Keep making videos! They make my day!
I have one and love it for the range and just grabbing it as I head out to the store or where ever. I plan on carrying it this winter when it's easier to conceal. I also own a Ruger LCRX 9mm and a Ruger LCR 357. Yes I am a Ruger Fan. My question is how did you get the letters colored as you did and what did you do to the frame that it looks more metallic than mine ever will?
how did you white out the lettering on the barrel? Looks great! Thanks for the vid very cool. I see Ruger has the 357 version out now in 3" , coming in around 21oz, might have to look into that one for myself. Liked and subbed!
Y'know, if this is essentially a polymer framed version of the sp101, I'd actually like to see a polymer version of the GP100, a lightweight yet duty sized revolver holding 6 rounds of .357 actually sounds like a pretty appealing idea to me.
Can you really pocket carry something this large? Also, did you find that you had to raise the rear sights all the way up to hit point of aim (a common problem with the 3” versions)?
No problem on the sights, hit true. I did pocket carry with a Sticky Holster, my cargo shorts have big front pockets. Thanks for the view Rychetsky, UGD
Might have to take a look at one of these bad boys. I got noodle arms so I need something lightweight. How's the recoil from a 38 special? I've fired a 9mm before.
Thanks a ton. The letting was done with a silver glitter nail polish I stole from my wife :) I have a video up on the how to, make sure to use the right stuff. Thanks for the view, UGD
I'm sure you already knew this, but be careful & use DEEP concealment when going to a post office. They don't allow firearms & are very anal about it. Something like a small Kel-Tec automatic carried in a pocket holster ought to be concealable enough there though. In answer to your question at the end of the video; I only have plans on buying one .38 Special revolver at the present time, when I find one like I want, of course that could change as circumstances change. Love the name of your channel. I think most, if not all, firearms I buy from now on will be used ones.
Thanks Hound. We, my wife and I, love the "Used Gun Hunt". Leave the house and you never know what we'll find. One day it;s the 1877 Colt and the next it's a Kimber Warrior. We rarely look for a specific gun. UGD
just to add a bit of humor to the comments below,when you are from Canada,it sounds simply absurd to read,'"great handgun to take to the store,or backpacking!Up here,handguns stay locked in a safe place,and you couldnt fire one on your own property even if you lived in the middle of nowhere.Pretty much,you take them from your cabinet,phone the local gun range to tell them you are coming,transport the handgun to range and then directly back to your property,or suffer the consequences if you get caught doing otherwise.
Sometimes it look cool to me, other time not so much. Not sure, light to carry on a hike or fishing, people are CCW these hot rods. I am liking the trigger, can't wait to see how she shoots. UGD
UsedGunDude Exactly. This about the first Ruger product I like. It is a great open carry/ outdoors gun for non bear sized issues. You are not afraid to scratch or get it wet in the rain. Good glovebox or boat gun. It is good entry-level house gun. Easy to load, shoot, and fits most hands. Hell, it is perfect rent a cop gun. Something you pack a lot, and fire little. Better than any Hi Point pistol. Just wish it had 7 shots like Taurus has.

I traded off the LCRx, and now looking for one. My favorite DA. UGD

First of your videos I’ve seen. Nice.
Looks like fun!
Feels good, looking forward to the range time. UGD
Looks very nice!
Great light good with an above average DA trigger. UGD

Thanks a ton Jerry. If recoil sissy is wrong I don't want to be right. Looking forward to range time with her, busy summer stuff. UGD
Nice carry piece.
Old school is new again. The weight is awesome, hope I can hit with her. UGD
If you haven't fired it yet stand by for a surprise. Mine was on spot right out of the box. Enjoy.
Easy to stage the trigger! Love it

Ready for it.....Glitter Finger Polish. My wife's idea. Get the little flakes, large are odd looking. Thanks UGD
I just did my letters using regular white nail polish and it works great. Thanks.
how did you white out the lettering on the barrel? Looks great! Thanks for the vid very cool. I see Ruger has the 357 version out now in 3" , coming in around 21oz, might have to look into that one for myself. Liked and subbed!
The sp101 is 27 ounces I'd just go with that.
At only 15oz how snappy is it & are follow up shots scattered all over the target as a result of the light weight?
Um revólver que eu queria ter
Go buy one, great gun. Thanks for the view, UGD
Y'know, if this is essentially a polymer framed version of the sp101, I'd actually like to see a polymer version of the GP100, a lightweight yet duty sized revolver holding 6 rounds of .357 actually sounds like a pretty appealing idea to me.
A really great design, you're right they should make a 6 shot. Thanks Benjamin for the view, UGD
I don't think a polymer framed GP100 would withstand the pressures of .357 magnum. That sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Where do you get a holster for the thing.
You're my new favorite youtube presenter! Fantastic videos man! I hates the cans too!
Subbed!

How's the recoil from a 38 special? I've fired a 9mm before.
UGD, did you wind up keeping this? If so, what holsters have you found for it?
I did not, got a good offer and let her go. Looking back, mistake. I did carry with a Sticky and it rode well. UGD
Fantastic video! Did you put the white lettering on yourself? How is that done?
Thanks a ton. The letting was done with a silver glitter nail polish I stole from my wife :) I have a video up on the how to, make sure to use the right stuff. Thanks for the view, UGD
@@usedgundude1035 I cannot find your video on filling the numbers in! BTW: is it lettering or 'letting'? Link? Title?
@@tkarlmann Here's a Link ua-cam.com/video/367BWLKAwWs/v-deo.html Thanks UGD
Which kind of IWB holster would you use?!
I'm a Sticky man

i like the whole gun but to little
I think it looks really good, but I think hammer-less revolvers look ugly
me like ....
It's a 357!👍👀🎁

Sounds exactly like New Jersey.
Democracy vs Republic...'nough said
You think thats ugly you should get a chiappa
Been looking at one, and it is ugly. Takes a little money for the ugly girl doesn't make much sense, but she does shoot. UGD
U TALK 2 FAST N U DONT SHOW THE MODEL # SHOW THE MODEL # A SIDE FROM THAT I LIKE THE VIDEO THANKS.
Very fast. When you saw model number, are you looking for a SKU number? Thanks UGD
you want a six shot? Get a bigger gun!
To me this gun is useless, ugly and yet very cool. I'm confused.

A 7 shot LCRx I would be for, low weight and 7. That would be a near perfect revolver for carry. Great input, UGD
