![]() Why would I choose a revolver is a cartridge made specifically for an automatic? Well, first because of America! I wanted a revolver and the fact I could choose one in a caliber I already own and shoot a ton of was just a convenience factor. Ruger started something awesome with this gun and what started with a simple 38 Special has grown into a variety of different designs and in different calibers. ![]() If it were any smaller company, the idea would be laughed off the table. The brand Ruger is a well-known and well-respected brand, with many different firearms that have a lot of influence behind it. LCR even stands for Lightweight, Compact, Revolver, which is a very appropriate name for the gun. This model takes it a step forward and chambers it in the even more potent 9mm round. The J frame was smaller and chambered in the popular and more powerful 38 Special. It was massive for a 380 and chambered in a somewhat anemic round. Revolvers back in the day were the smallest powerhouses you could get. The design of the J frame has always been for a lighter, lower profile gun in a reliable platform. It’s small, lightweight, and perfect for daily carry. The Ruger LCR 9mm is a concealed carry gun. It incorporates everything that is good with the J frame design, as well as modernizing it. The Ruger LCR is by far my favorite modern J frame revolver. A polymer revolver is lightweight and plenty affordable. Some metal like Scandium is super light, and the S&W Airweight line is proof that they work, but damn are they expensive. Why polymer? It makes the gun lighter, way lighter than an all-metal gun. It’s already a weird gun being a polymer frame revolver, but then we are going to chamber it into a cartridge designed for automatic pistols. Today we are looking at the Ruger LCR 9mm. Well, I didn’t personally, but Ruger, S&W and even Taurus have. ![]() I already hear the Fudds light their torches, how dare I bring plastic to the world of wheel guns. Revolvers are simple right? How exactly can you make such an old design better? Well, you can make the frame polymer. It was one of the first widely accepted concealed carry guns and the remains a popular choice. The J frame revolver is a very classic design.
