Insert title here:
As I was packing to leave for the weekend, my wife (who has had some pretty significant wrist pain i.e. Carpel tunnel since last year) says: I haven't been to the range for a while, I don't even know if I can pull back the slide on any of the guns in the safe. -my pistols stay unloaded unless they are holstered. Well, sounds like a good excuse to break out the snap caps. Turns out her discomfort level has gotten to the point where it is too painful to manipulate the slide on my g43 xdm or xdsc. We settle on locking the slide and using the slide lock/release on the xdsc(her favorite of the 3) for the weekend if worst case she needed it for hd purposes.
Then she says "we need a revolver". I said yes ma'am. Yes ma'am we do. ðŸ˜"we should get one when you get back this week" yes ma'am. Yes ma'am we should!
I have been eyeballing the lcr for about 18 months. All my handguns are 9mm and I have a significant amount of ammunition on hand as well as supplies to load another few thousand more. But the 38 won't need moon clips.
I show her what I'm thinking and she is leaning toward the lcrx 3". She doesn't like the looks of snubnoss and likes the idea of longer sight radius.(although our house doesn't have a hallway longer than 30ft) but her comfort and confidence is ultimately what is important.
Not opposed to another weapon,but I have rented a 38lcr and the trigger was pretty sweet compared to the Taurus 85(only other wheel gun I've used).
This will likely stay at home as a hd weapon and only travel to the range. But I won't say if we get the snubbie it won't get carried😉
What are the thoughts? Is there something I should be considering that I haven't?
