I'd love to try one of Ruger's LCR or LCRx revolvers (or both) - particularly a six shot in 327 Fed Magnum - but the available barrel lengths are rated here as too short for a 'B Category' firearm.
A .38 Ruger LCRx
Ruger's Lightweight Compact Revolver is "groundbreaking" in it's use of plastics in the grip & trigger housing - BUT the constant force trigger pull that incorporates a low-friction cam into the fire control system is a true advance in ease of function.

- Advanced materials used are glass fiber filled polymer, - stainless steel, & a 'synergistic hard-coated 7000 series aluminum forging'.
Kiwis have to get used to looking at pictures of Ruger's LCR - as there won't be (m)any coming through our Border Protection..
It seems that although we Kiwi endorsed pistol shooters are examined & certified - not once but TWICE - as being Fit & Proper to own and safely shoot guns of many types - we may not to be trusted with any barrel shorter than four inches in case we want to do ... what?
- Meanwhile the "nutters" can hack-saw their barrels to what ever length spins their wheels or 'tickles their Pickles".
What does the shorter barrel length have to do with anything - other than being louder and slower shooting?
... how about I swear to go vegetarian or vegan - can I shoot a snubby then?

No .. what I'm referring to is that some of the countries with the highest recorded gun crime figures seem also to have the highest levels of meat eating.
Don't laugh - there might be something in my theory eh.
It seems that US residents swallow 120.2 kilos of chicken-fried steak, burgers & hot-dogs each every year, - while UK's inmates chew through 84.2 kilos of meat in their industrial TV dinners.

- Contrast that tonnage of dead animal carcass consumed by 'westerners' with the folk in Bangladesh and India who get by on 4 kg and 4.4 kg a year each while quietly doing their yoga.
- soon be Christmas eh - all that reindeer, ham and turkey with gravy, yeah, - New Zealand is ranked up there at seventh for meat consumption worldwide - at around 106 kg. per head.
LCR Would Be Fun To Shoot.
The LCR is a credit to Chief Revolver Engineer Joseph Zajk, who designed it - My only 'contra' is that I dream that they might go one further giant step and one day build a revolver firing from the bottom chamber.
The Ruger LCR & LCRx are the total opposite of a "TOP-SHELF GUN". They are affordable and shootable - small & light to carry and keep - comfortable grips - in practical calibers with acclaimed good triggers. I have a mate I've known around 30 years ... he is the proud owner of a S&W 44 Magnum revolver with the original wooden grips - in that time I reckon he's had it out on the range at least once .. but I've never seen him shooting it.
