Ann Otten .327 Federal is an option and it is a cartridge by Federal which makes it even more Funny.
yep and hey its only a 357 so .....lol
🤣
It hits hard as hell tho😬 🔥
Agreed.
Just introduced a new friend today to this realm. Very exciting.
You remind me of the wise grandfather that everyone wants to listen to because of your knowledge and life experiences. Thanks for making these wonderful videos.

Lol
i wish i could adopt him as my grandpa, all my gparents are dead :(
I bet he is a great guy in real life. I would love to meet him.
Just wanted to say thank you from Arizona - whenever I am researching a new firearm this is the place I come. Thanks for pushing quality content for many years.
There's a few other channels you might want to check for real statistics.
Frankly, this is more interesting than my economics class on Zoom. Don’t tell my teacher.

@Diego Flor hear?
Hickok45 is a national treasure.
I own a couple of rugers, no LCR’s or “x”’s. But what I do have I know, rugers are typically built like tanks. I think once people get past the polymer they’ll realize Ruger is trying to narrow the gap of capacity and firepower with relation to other revolvers and small semi auto pistols. I love Rugers. And I love your shows, very down to earth. I’m Blount County TN, maybe the down to earth is a TN thing. 😉
I've got an LCR in .38 spcl, rated +p. Carried it for quite a few years and it's perfect for me, for summer carry. In winter, I carry a G30. I have to say the Ruger isn't really FUN to shoot, lol, but it would sure be effective if ever called upon to save my life. That IS what it's all about after all. Thanks Hickok 🇺🇸
I bought this very revolver for my wife, and it's amazing just how good it is.
The trigger is surprisingly smooth and light, very different from most short barreled revolvers in that aspect.
same here.got it for the mrs, wouldnt mind having one myself now.
I have an LCRx 38 special. Light, easy conceal, smooth trigger pull, and excellent grip. Finally got my hands on more ammo today. Crazy how bare the shelves are.
friends lady has incredibly poor hand strength. Few years ago she settled on the 327 mag version. trigger was the best one for her. just passing on what I was told about the trigger vs j frames. I like my j's.
Got the internal hammer version for myself, for coyotes on the ranch. Ended up gifting it to my moms after our dog ruby died. Excellent firearm for anyone.
Too bad you can't buy them at Fred Myers... 😇😇😇
Love the LCR in 327 Federal 👍
I've owned a couple of these Ruger LCR's but despite my 40 years of pistol shooting I just can't handle the recoil anymore of these airweight revolvers now that I've hit the big 72. Don't get old, you will live to regret it.
For recoil mitigation try the 22 magnum
Oh look, another video making my first revolver purchase harder to decide on.
Depends on what you want it for bu if you want a range you that’s not for ccl I have a s&w 686-6 plus in 6” it’s an awesome revolver. 38 special as almost no kick. It’s between a 9mm and 22. Even 357 is manageable. Real joy to shoot.
Get the LCR in 327 Federal Magnum! Its a 6 shooter! Love! Love! Love! Mine!
Smith and Wesson sd 9mm, my dude good gun
just get a Ruger Redhawk Alaskan in .454 Casull. You'll Love it!!!!. You will not regret
FunkySpunky91 lol
One of the best triggers in its class, though firing full house 357s makes one reluctant to pull it after a few rounds.
That's what the terrific all steel SP101's for. I followed Ruger's suggestion of dry firing it a good 1500+ times to seat the springs and clear the micro burrs of metal left from machining and when I got to the range had a nice light DA trigger and an exquisite SA trigger...like breaking glass, it's so clean.
As to muzzle flip- not a problem. I started with light .38s and worked up to full power .357 Magnum and found it controllable and enjoyable. BTW, I'm disabled, in a power wheelchair with only my non-dominant right hand working...if I see results like that, I bet healthy people able to use both hands will find it a delight.
Glenn Horowitz my s&w 686-6 plus came with an amazing single action trigger without dry firing.
can confirm. my wife’s gun is an LCR. we have some 357, but it’s a hand beater. much rather shoot 38 special through it.
I say get a 357 and shoot 38 special plus ps.
@@godzillasimpson8357 yes the extra 5oz of weight really helps with recoil. even on such a small gun.
I've had the LCR 38+P since they came out. Great carry gun for newbies, small, petite people and super easy to conceal.
Awful gun for new shooters
@@NvrchFotia What would be better? Especially with the enclosed hammer. Can you shoot your gun from inside a purse, or hoodie pocket? Will your gun cycle if someone grabs your gun? It's not a target pistol, it's for self defense within 5 yrds. I have one in 327, and I don't know I'm carrying it in front cargo pants pocket.
Living a ways north of sunny Middle Tennessee, I have found that the LCR in .38special is a great coat pocket gun during colder weather. A coat makes it a lot more difficult to reach a primary gun. But the front coat pocket is a breeze.
Love my Ruger LCR. Would recommend for carry any day
@Godon Gurando is another T-800 OK
Yeah I bet you always need your automatic .50 cal mounted machine gun on your armored Humvee while you wear a full bomb suit. Cover all those "tricky" situations.
@@bobbybush1750 😒😒😒
My preferred summer carry. Two 5 star speed loaders go with it. Same as one magazine in my duty gun. I don't feel under gunned at all. Nice to see reviews on revolvers. Good work Hickok.
I was real surprised on how accrue it is. I love mine as well it’s my carry gun... you forget it’s in your pocket.
@@DS..69 Should check out Safariland Comp speedloaders instead. I'd gladly sell my 5 stars at half price to you to buy more Safaris.
I’ve owned and shot a LCR in 38 +P. I replaced the grip with a Hogue with longer grip. Love it
I own 3 Ruger firearms. You can't beat them for the price. I love mine.
The .327 Fed. chambered model is super cool and it's a 6 shot. It's one of my favorite revolvers. He has a test on it in the archives.
Use 85 grain hyro shok not bad recoil 100 grain Speer hurt
@@gregorybaum9173 Federal just came out with a 104 gr HST at 1500 fps. Hopefully it's making a comeback.
@@gregorybaum9173 It helps if you reload, plinkers to M80 going off in your hand.
Wish Ruger would bring back the 3" sp101 in that cartridge.
My first revolver, just got the LCRx, and it's more than a tool, more than a gun, it's a work of art. I love it. I may have to get another one to frame and hang on the wall.
I love my hammerless Ruger because no snag worries ever. But, you must realize that we are not quite as good a shot as Hickock. Effective accurate distance is 7 to 10 yards. But, the .38 round with hollow points, all you need to land is one or 2 center mass and your good to go. The ultimate "get off me" gun , backup, summer summer carry, potato chip gun. No printing and save your brass for reloads. Getcha one.
this gentleman is the best representative for gun rights intelligent and righteously human
Bought one as soon as the "x" came out. Old school, gotta have a hammer guy. Points well, prints great. 6 o'clock hold gun as usual. From birdshot to +p, it's the perfect companion for "light" work
You gotta do the Taurus 856 snubby!! It’s essentially a 6 shot alloy j frame, you will like it!
Them are good revolvers for up close and personal defense work. Fits fine in the back pocket with the holster it comes with but GolDarnIt! It is so light that you forget you are carrying it and forget you are armed! Took me around 200 rounds to put 33 outta 35 rounds on the chest of the human target from 15 feet. Gotta put in the work to get the best outta it and to get comfortable with the trigger. Thanks for the review.
Imagine being him he's got so many guns he can just pick one to go along with his outfit when he goes to town
Whereas Ian does the opposite.
I actually own one of LCR's with the internal hammer. I love that gun. Just get a pocket sleeve and it's a perfect pocket pistol for concealed carry, feels like carrying a phone around
The frame assembly which houses the cylinder is actually made from aerospace-grade, 7000-series aluminum. The fire control housing is polymer.
Rugers are top guns! Good construction and high quality materials! American made!
Yep, I do wish they would go back to making the 10/22 more like my older one though. Great price points on them, but mine was my mom's when she was younger and it has the checkered wood stock with a nice finish and the free float barrel with the metal trigger assembly, which I did come across a place that sells metal ones for the newer ones so that is a fairly easy upgrade for those that want.
@@bassnazi4713 Top man!
The Ruger p95 is garbage. Jammed more times than I can count.
@@William.H.Bonney My P90 eats everything it's fed. Never have had a Ftf or fte. Can't say the same about my Glock or my duty one.
David S it was my first Ruger and I was disappointed it was the worst gun I’ve ever owned. Maybe it was just that model?
I’ve always been a Smith guy but I bought a LCR in 9mm for a summer gun. I love it the double action is super smooth out of the box. IMO it’s double action to me is as good as I’ve felt.
When my dad was worried about home invasions for awhile last year, his cousin loaned him an LCR and I was kinda amazed by it. They LOOK cheap in pictures but the FEEL really well made. Luckily things calmed down and he was able to return it without firing a shot.
going to be a sad day if some one kick down you dad door and LCR at his cousin house.
@@LuffyFanBoy99 ???
@@LuffyFanBoy99 u are right
LCR -X is my EDC, lightweight, pocket gun with a sticky holster
I have owned 2 Ruger LCRx snub nose and I love them! Great guns, I want another in 357 mag and .22. Also a little tip, the snub nose can take the full size grip. Fiber optic sight upgrade is a must have.
The Ruger SP 101 is the best handgun I've ever had.
Got my daughter the original LCR-X 38sp/357mag. We really like it but this looks even sleeker and more suited to how she carries for close up visits. You may have just hurt my bank account... again!! Thanks for the excellent and entertaining review videos!

He's really good at that! Hurting the bank account that is!
@@bassnazi4713 ty
I love my LCR with concealed hammer in 9 mm.
makes a great pocket gun with the right pocket holster.
9 mm is easier to find plus with the full moon clips it's easier to reload.
Remington makes ammo that is specially designed for short barrel handguns.
Cheers
Don't see the point. The DAO version of the LCR with the internal hammer and 1.88" barrel is best as a pocket gun for defensive use, while if you want a kit gun you want a 3-inch barrel with adjustable sights.
FYI, the .38 special/22lr models are aluminum frame. The magnum version of the LCR is stainless steel.
Just an observation. The frame on the .38 is aluminum, including the shroud, not polymer. The lower is polymer. On the .357 the frame is stainless steel.
I have the LCR in 9mm and use a grip from Pachmayr to give myself a full grip. Great revolver.
I really like the LCR 9mm. It weighs ~ the same as the .357 LCR and is ballistically superior to the .38 LCR. Also it reloads VERY quickly using full moon clips.
What is the reason the .327 Federal is not popular? Federal Ammunition Company invented it and it seems perfect for the Ruger LCR. The .38 special is so 1930 to 1970 like what Barney Fife carried in his shirt pocket.
Picked up my LCR 38+P shortly after they came out. It has served me very well for many years.
That was a heck of a fine group on that Bud's logo on the paper.
Almost all touching.
I never thought about the clean break on the double action being that clean you could shoot groups like that.
I always did the single action shooting thing.
Damn fine shooting right there.
Hickok, Thanks for a great video, but I also know you are a VERY good shot to start with and can show off these lightweights very well and make them look good. Most of us peons (me included) cannot make such a small gun hit so well... We just have to admire you.
Just bought one in 327 Federal Magnum. Can’t wait to get started with it.
I have one,their excellent😊
I have an LCR in .38 +P. I have had it for many years. I love it.
The main reason why I prefer the LCR over SW J-frames is that Ruger offers a 6-shot version in .327 Mag.
Imagine if ruger made a stainless lcrx with a usable concealed hammer like the S&W 638/649, it would be awesome I think
@@thecowboy6317 Just get familiar with double action or get a trigger job, don't be scared. Single action is at most slightly useful if you fire at a long distance target and that is unlikely with a LCR.
An no Hillary hole.
@@ruthford112 it’s just underneath the grip..
Had my LCRx 3" for two years now and I absolutely love this revolver. So light and easy to handle. Everyone is surprised how light it is and very light recoil. 38 spc
Idk why they don’t just give Hickok the stuff he requests cuz you know he’s boosted the hell out of their sales
We can buy guns if we really want them. Where we're just borrowing these guns from Bud's and send them back, it allows us to borrow as many as we want and anything we want that they have. They generally get their money back on them when they sell them, so it's a Win-Win for all concerned.
Hickock45: misses 3 shots on the same target
Also hickok45: hits the very next 5 shots perfectly
This man is an inspiration to shooters everywhere. I’ll never forget him shooting the gong with a bodyguard .380 lol
I was hoping he would try the gong with this one. I think he could hit it.
Dale Fry absolutely, since that gun shoots high, all he would have to do it put it right on the money and it would hit as long as the bullet didn’t travel side to side lol. I bet he could hit 6/10 shots with it if he really focused.
I’ve got both the LCRX in .38 Special, and the 357. They’re very intelligent firearms. That 357 is a real howitzer !
Which would you recommend?
@@Bro_TD I personally like the 357 as it has such a wide ballistic index. 38 special comes in so many different projectile weights as does 357. So you’ve got a lot of choices.
I bought one about ten years ago when they were a little cheaper. I’ve always liked it and I’m going to suggest my daughter get one thanks again for your videos they are very informative. .
I missed out on gettin one back in the days...they are way overpriced these days...
Was just thinking of getting one in 22 wmr for my neice.
I recently fired a friend's LCRx in .38 Special, and it's not a gun you'd shoot just for fun. That said, accuracy and function were more than adequate for its intended purpose. I would like to see Ruger make the .22LR variant available with a 4" barrel. The light weight would make it a perfect kit gun for hikers, etc.
LCR in 327 Federal is a masterpiece. The SP101 is even better.
I agree. Its the best all around lcr. 6 rounds with more power than 38+p. If recoil is too much, you can choose from 5 separate calibers all put of the 327 (327, 32 h&r, 32 long, 32 s&w, and 32 acp). The only thing that doesnt come with this from the factory that it really needs is a fiber optic front site. An additional $30 makes this the perfect summer carry revolver.
Willie Jamehufff Amen to that!
Recently purchased one, great piece!
Yes I bought LCRx at Cabalas used for 325. Barely fired. It’s a good shooter. Some ammo gives a real kick on recoil but I’m pleased with it
I have a LCR 357 and LCRx 3in in 22 lr. I love them both. They are great guns. I will never sell or trade them.
Don't want to keep us too long,i could listen to this guy talk guns all day.
I put on a Hogue Bantam Boot Grip on my LCR .38 Special +P.
Makes for a really sweet pocket carry in a Remora holster.
Gotta check that out
My wife bought a Ruger LCRx back in May, 2020…. Waited 2 hours and she passed the Gun Test with no prep. 357 mag rounds have 520 ft/pounds and kick and rather hard on your hand. 38 special 215 ft/pounds much lighter… and some cowboy 38 special easiest to shoot. My wife shoots my Uberti Henry also… little kick.
I say stopping big people, use the defender rounds but there is a kick. Cowboy 38 Special for target. Not really a target gun but small, easy to carry. I like 1911 my self.
Yes! I was waiting for this video. I have had the LCRx snub nose in .357 for a couple years ago, and I love it. It was my favorite gun before I got my 5.5” Vaquero in .357. THAT is my favorite gun now, but I wouldn’t trade in my LCRx for anything.
He might’ve missed that bowling pin three times, but I’m sure he scared the crap out of it
I have both the Ruger LCR 22 and 38 and they are so nice.
He made this .38 look like a .22lr .No recoil at all crazy
I'm sitting here with the exact same gun in awe that he's blasting. 357 with such little recoil then realized he's loading .38 special. I think I'm gonna buy some 38
That last bit “this is a great gun for defense” while hammering on a fence almost made me spit my coffee out laughing.
I've bought my LCR 357 just because of your review man, and I do not regret ;)
I love my Ruger LCR .38 Special. I have a great pocket holster and I just throw it in my pocket before I live the house and forget about it.
New Hickok 45 video uploaded.
Me: Automatically clicks to watch it....smiling while thinking "life is good"
I went to Tennessee and stayed in a cabin. And as I was leaving about 35min away I passed Buds gun shop but it was a night. Really wanted to stop by lol.
If you were in Tennessee and only 35 minutes away from Buds Gun Shop, you must have been flying.
Buds is in the Lexington, Kentucky area, a good distance (100 miles or so) north of the Tennessee/Kentucky border.
I’ve got one of these in 327 mag and love it.
I recently bought 1 of these and 2 642's. The Ruger is an excellent gun, but the 642's are swiss watches in comparison. Only problem is my trigger finger crashes into my thumb.
Another great revolver - video!! 🙂👍 Love it
You could never keep us too long. I love these videos. Thank you very much.
They are also available in .357 with an increase in weight of about 25%.
"Great gun for da fence…"
1 day ago? The trees are showing early spring in Tennessee, not late summer. Plus Hickock is wearing long sleeves and not sweating to death.
i don't know how you could ever dislike one of his videos
thanks hickok
its nice to see something really interesting on tv kkkkk
He might want to try out the Taurus 605 Polymer Protector. It's a 5 round 2" snubby .357 revolver. I like to shoot 130 gr .38 special FMJ and +p JHP defense rounds through it because of the gun's weight, larger standard grip size, and visible sights. They all contribute to comfortable recoil, accuracy, and reasonable concealability in a pocket holster. The ultimate result is an effective reliable CC revolver that I'm using as my daily carry handgun. I alternate carrying it or a new Taurus G3C with 115 gr 9mm FMJ or JHP defense rounds in a similar pocket holster.
I think it would make a decent survival pistol in a big out bag
I've been carrying the lcrx for about 6 years i believe. Great little pocket pistol.
Love my lcr .357
So, they hold 4+1 ? ha. Thanks for the great vids.
A HI CAPACITY MAGAZINE CYLINDER??????🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪😇😇😇😇😇😇🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀
I bought my Son a .38 Rossi revolver. Accurate firearm but it lacks in the cylinder getting to hot after range shooting 12 to 18 rounds through it the casings swell and they are hard to eject. Other than that it is a great firearm for around $400 bucks.
I grew up shooting revolvers. Love J- frame sized ones. In summer, I can put one in a cargo shorts pocket and not have to wear a belt holster, etc. When I leave my compound, I now have my Glock 19 on the hip, a 5 shot revolver in my off side pocket for backup.
Learning how to shoot is wonderful but it is taking me allot time to even get close at 15 feet. I love this channel!!
Federal Punch or HST is the way to go with 38spl
"If you get attacked by a big propane tank", beautiful!
Thanks for being such a badass Hickok45, I literally just ordered the Ruger snub-nose 357/38-special LCRX model myself!! So, needless to say, this video was absolutely perfect for me & clarified a lot!!!! Keep up all the great work brother man, thanks for doing what you do!!
The best hiking camping fishing kit gun I’ve owned. I’m a big fan of the LCRx.
I had a LCR in 9mm, traded it in. But I have a 3" LCRX in .38 special, a 3" LCRX in .22 mag, and a LCR in .327 federal. Haven't got around to shooting the last two, yet, but I like the .38 very much. Surprisingly low recoil for a polymer revolver.
I prefer a 4 inch barrel or longer in my revolver. Its a good car gun to keep readily available when my other guns are pocketed or holstered which makes them more difficult to access when I'm buckled down in the car seat.
I Have a ruger LCR 38 plus p with the spurless hammer . Great CCW .Had it for about 5 years .Love It. But i Will Say that it does have some kick .
That's a really good review. I own the one without the hammer spur. Don't care what it looks like. It's not a range gun. I think it's the perfect self-defense weapon. As long as I can put five 357 s into something at about 6 ft or less I'll be happy. I carry mine in the front pocket with a sticky holster. Good video. I like that thing about you and Tucker Carlson also
Sat in the truck waiting for opening day on dove this morning. Thanks for the upload.
I don't really get the point in ultra short barreled snub nose revolvers. The short barrel does not improve conceal ability (much) when compared to something like a 4" barrel. And, the performance of a .38 from a 2" or shorter barrel....sucks.
I love Ruger. My mom has that Smith you mentioned. Its really nice. I've took it and her to the ranger a few times with a couple of my guns.
I absolutely love my Dads Ruger LCR in 38 Special with the CTC grips on it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep it up! I have been watching your videos for about five years. Thank you for your honest words, I have based ideas off your words. Thank you, and stay safe.
