Improving the first is easy, and logical - the longer the barrel, the greater the weight to resist muzzle flip, and the more room the powder has to be consumed, reducing the ball of flame that results from unburned powder following the bullet out of the muzzle. Snubbies are not innately inaccurate: They’re just hard to shoot, and this is mostly due to their recoil and blast and short sight radius. The addition of an inch of barrel length helps ameliorate two of the features that plague small revolvers. The idea of a 3-inch barrel didn’t come out of thin air: there are many of us who consider it the ideal length for a defensive revolver, and not only because it’s easier to carry than a 4-inch. Before we get into how it shot though, we need to talk a little theory to put the gun in context. It came in a compact, boldly-marked zippered case along with a manual, safety lock, and the obligatory fired casing, all in a cardboard package. The pebbled Hogue grip, which is narrow front to rear, gives the appearance of being closer to vertical than usual, lending the grip angle a certain Bisley-like quality. The distinctive scalloping on the cylinder, another trademark, also tells you immediately you’re looking at an LCR - doubtless no accident on Ruger’s part. The trigger guard, with its decreasing radius as it approaches the front of the gun, is one of the LCR’s most distinctive visual cues and lends it a sleeker look than the bulbous curvature we usually associate with six-guns. Our test gun arrived with a cylinder cloaked in a satin black Ionbond finish that’s appropriate for a serious defensive piece, with a dull silver trigger and hammer adding a touch of contrast.
The five-shot capacity is unchanged and frame size remains the same, with a slightly longer grip that omits the finger grooves typically found on the LCR’s Hogue rubber grips. The latest expansion of the line is the LCRX-3, which comes with a 3-inch barrel in place of the customary 1.875-inch snout and adjustable sights instead of the fixed sights found on the original LCR. 22 Magnum, and most recently, 9mm Parabellum. 38 Special +P, with LCR models now available in. Wisely not resting on its laurels (competitors Smith & Wesson and Taurus both quickly followed suit, introducing their polymer Bodyguard and Protector models), Ruger has expanded the calibers offered beyond the original. Features such as the use of coil springs instead of the more fragile leaf springs for added reliability make its single-action six-guns highly valued out in the field, either for hunting or large animal defense, and its double-actions use an innovative grip stem in place of the usual full-profile revolver frame, allowing far greater freedom in grip selection. Nor are Ruger’s innovations limited to rimfires. 22s - the Mark III pistol and 10/22 rifle - are the industry standards. In some ways, it’s unsurprising that this leap came from Ruger, whose Pine Tree foundry has long led the way in casting technology (even producing OEM parts for other gunmakers), and whose. Unlike the Glock 17 that popularized the polymer pistol frame pioneered over a decade before by HK’s VP70, the Ruger LCR was, to the best of my knowledge, the first polymer-framed wheelgun. For some brief highlights, there’s the introduction of stainless steel (and the subsequent struggle to make it work) mastering the notoriously difficult-to-manage titanium scandium, which toughened up crack-prone aluminum and polymer, which has now become ubiquitous in modern auto pistols.Įven so, it was a coup when Ruger introduced its polymer-framed LCR revolver at the 2009 SHOT Show. Since the days of Carl Walther and John Browning, the great innovations have not been in mechanical function, which in many ways peaked in the 1930s, but in materials. This coating is currently only available for steels, we are in process or developing it for aluminum.It’s difficult to do anything truly new in the world of handgun design. This coating is 60 to 70 rockwell hardness and 2 to 3 microns thick. We also have a Zirconuim coating in two colors now. When coated parts come out of the Machine they are a dark charcoal color and after I oil them they are black. Coating sucks up lubrication like a sponge, then releases it as it is needed. This coating is available for steels and hard anodized aluminum. Pretty much wont interfere with your tolerances. Not quite a half a thousandth at its thickest. Hardness is 70-90 rockwell and thickness is 3 to 6 microns. This is our PVD coating that is the One tough mother of a coating.
The coating most of people are wanting is the DLC (Diamond Like Coating). "But the reason I am writing is to give some technical info on the finish so yall ain't left in the dark. Here is a quick google find on thickness. Re: Ionbonding - Any good or bad experiences?
