I sure like those little LCR. I bought one for the wife about ten years ago. Traded an Astra 600 for it and a box of .38 special. How does yours shoot?

I've had a couple and they all shoot well. The stock grips mitigate recoil wonderfully. The triggers are decent right from the box.

They are a joy in .38 special.

It’s the 327 federal mag. Really smooth trigger. The federal soft points are HOT!

This one is chambered in .327 and I love it. I use the 85-grain loads in the LCR and save the hotter stuff for my steel revolvers.

Comparing my LCR 327 and my LCR 38 back to back, the felt recoil between an 85-grain Hydrashok in .327 and various +p loads in .38 special are almost impossible to distinguish. The good thing is that they are easy to control and don't beat up my hand. Of course, .327 is a lot louder. It's also a lot more impressive when shooting overripe fruit, old canned goods, water jugs, etc. 😜

Really, it's the perfect alternative to .357 magnum. Having a six-shooter with capable rounds that is easy to shoot well in a pocket holster is nice.

I reload so this round really shines. I shoot cast to practice and you can always shoot the 32 acp or the H&R mag out of it. Really one of my favorite calibers.

I'm stuck using factory ammo but it works out.

I remember people being excited about all of the other rounds when 327 was new. I had already used .32 H&R Magnum on occasion, which I did like compared to vanilla .38 special. The factory selection for .32 H&R Magnum is pretty scant today, and what I can get now usually leaves unburnt powder in the LCR. I grew up shooting .32 S&W Long and still have a wheel gun specifically chambered for it. It's a great Sunday afternoon shooter. :)
 
These belong to the wife, Buck 104 Compadre in 3V and burlap micarta, and her S&W custom shop 637:

I have both of these exact guns.... probably why my wife calls me a revolver snob.. I don't have a way to upload photos on here yet but need to get around to that. My benchmade grizzly creek would like nice paired with one of these.
