LCR 22 or SR 22 ?

Recommended Posts

M&P22 would also qualify as a "fun to shoot" 22..   maybe a little bit bigger than the SR22, but light and easy to shoot..

 

if you're stuck on the 2 in the original post, i would pick the SR22..   for some reason, LCR is ugly and only holds 8 rds compared to the SR's 10..   just my personal opinion though..

I own a sr22 and a lcr in 38. I believe the triggers between the lcr22 and lcr38 are the same and that is what I'll compare.

 

The pros of sr-22

- da/sa (very nice sa pull, da is not terrible but nothing to write home about)

-10 round mags which you can purchase multiple and practice fast mag changes

-3 different palm swells to adjust grip

 

Cons

- doesn't seem to like low grain bullets

- occasional feeding and ejecting issues with certain ammos

 

Lcr pros (based of lcr38 and my own 22 revolver)

- very smooth da trigger, if you can master it you're golden. And yes I'll write home about it.

- no mags to worry about misfeeds or ejection problems

- can shoot practically anything.

 

Lcr cons

Limited capacity

No single action trigger ( I don't know if they make a lcrx22)

 

My personal opinion is everyone should own a 22lr revolver and if I could go back I'd probably would have got a lcr22 over a sr22.

I have the SR 22 and I like it a lot. I don't have any hands on time with the LCR so I can't comment on it.

 

Same here.  And unlike brocglock23, I have not found it to be the least bit finicky about ammo.  I can't recall ever having it malfunction.

I have an SR22 with a couple thousand rounds through it. Personally I love shooting it. Its a blast to mess around with and I really don't experience ammo problems with I remember there being a problem with something early on. I'm pretty sure it was something like the barrel coming loose and eventually making the hole egg shaped. I have had no problems at all and love it.

SR22 owner here. Fantastic little plinker. I now own 5 magazines for it since the 10 rounds go fast when you're having fun.

Eats any and all ammo i feed it, including Remington Thnderbolt. Had a few hickups within the first 50 rounds. Nothing a break-in and good cleaning didnt remedy.

Plus, the accessories market is growing. I plan to pickup a threaded barrel for it, so I can put a supressor on it one day when I move to America.

    • Sorry, both are SPF.  Being picked up this week. Win M22  22 LR SPF to Ringwoodfrank.
    • Yup I see. Looks like right now you can only purchase the 2023-2024 permit still. I assume won't be able to purchase 24-25 season permit until July.
    • Just a heads-up for anyone who might also be in this situation. I joined USLS mid-April of 2022. Some time after renewing for 2023, I changed email providers, and dutifully reflected my new address on my account page. So, I have been anticipating renewal alerts at my new address, but those never arrived. I logged in to my account the other day, and was surprised to see that my subscription expired that same day. I went to my account main information page, confimed that my email address was correct, then went to the billing page, which showed my previous two payments, but which did not give me any apparent way to pay up for the new year. I requested support using the Customer Service form on the web site, but received no reply. Today I called their support number. Apparently changing the email address from my view of my account page did nothing to change the address that they use internally for billing purposes, including expiration notifications. Maybe they also use that address for replies to the support form, even if a different email address is entered there. Also, my account was set up to auto-renew and charge my credit card without my intervention, but that setting did not show on my account page in any obvious way. So, if you have USLS and have changed your email address since you last renewed, you might want to give them a call to ensure that they send renewal information to your correct address. The prospect of having legal coverage lapse while carrying in NJ was, for me, a less that confidence inspiring experience. I will note that the telephone-based customer service was excellent.
    • F*n imbeciles. They know damned well (or should) that, even if passed by the Colorado Senate and signed into law, virtually that entire load of crap is certain to fail Bruen/Heller scrutiny, and probably sooner, rather than later (SCOTUS). What a monumental waste of time (of course, how much can a dip$h*t's time be worth, anyway?) and energy. I passed through Colorado a few times in the 70s, and visited some clients there in the 80's & 90's, and, even by the end of that period, I had the impression that it was politically fairly conservative (with a few exceptions such as Aspen). WTF happened?
