Top 8 Revolvers From COMBAT HANDGUNS in 2014

When the SSR arrived at the Florida Gun Exchange, everyone who looked at it and picked it up was impressed by its good looks. The custom 4-inch barrel is a real eye-catcher, and so are the wood grips. They also liked the gun's grip-heavy balance. This makes the SSR quick to bring on target when drawn from a holster, and it also makes it swing with little effort. A smooth, effortless swing is important when engaging multiple targets. There were no obvious defects in workmanship on the exterior of the SSR, so I took it home and gave it a detailed bench examination. John Hames shared with you:   Top 8 Revolvers From COMBAT HANDGUNS in 2014 tactical-life.com - Introduced in 2010, the LCR was an immediate hit. By using a polymer trigger housing and monolithic receiver, it provided an incredibly lightweight revolver chambered in calibers ranging from .22 LR to .357 Magnum. The use of Hogue Tamer grips tamed recoil, and the patented friction-reducing cam meant a pretty decent trigger pull. Less about trigger weight, it reduced "stacking," or an increased trigger weight as you move through the pull. The stainless steel barrel sleeve is housed in an alloy along with most of the receiver. It made for a stiffer frame, increasing reliability. While flex may work in some semi-automatics, it is never a really good thing in a revolver, and Ruger's combination of materials made for a solid performer. Designed as a pocket revolver, the hammer was completely covered and inaccessible to the shooter. Well suited to carry in a purse, pocket or even a jacket, it kept a segment of the revolver market out of the equation. The LCRx takes care of that. Available on the App Store.
