LCR Question

When I close the cylinder on my LCR I am able to rotate the cylinder almost a full revolution before it locks. Is this typical of the LCR or should I send it to Ruger? New and unfired 357

Mine locks up TIGHT immediatly. I just unloaded it and double checked. Mine's been fired a lot too.
Does it still do that after you dry fire it?

Is this a new, just out of the box LCR? If so you might need to detail strip it and clean it good. There may be some gunk impeding the cylinder latch from popping up. I just checked my 3 and all turn less than one cylinder before locking.

I have had the LCR 9mm since it first came out. One of my favorite guns to shoot and thousands of rounds. It locks up tight as well as the LCR22. It could be a number of issues, but first I would do a good cleaning. If you have a Sonic Cleaner would be great. If cleaning does not stop it, then send it off to Ruger.

Yes it does still do it after dry fire

I have three lcr's and they all have some cylinder movement before they lock tight. However, I haven't shot them much more than maybe 100+ rounds.

Can anyone here recommend a bellyband style concealment for a LCR .357/.38?

Do you mean if I dry fire and then try to rotate the cylinder is it locked? The answer is yes.
