reloader901 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I have no plans to use it for competition. Most reviews I've read about HKS and Safari say they have issues with the stock Hogue Tamer grip. Anyone here experienced with 5 Star Firearms speedloaders and the LCR .38 or .38/.357?

Carmoney Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 There is a school of thought that if you can hide a speeddloader, you can probably hide another snub just about as easily! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reloader901 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 My primary reason to purchase this gun was because I have been having trouble with CCI .45acp shotshells. I doubt I will be carrying the LCR, but it is possible so I got a .357 rather than .38. I broke it in recently. It handles .357 great. Anyway I plan to use it with CCI .38 shotshells on vermin in my barn etc. I don't want to keep it loaded with .38 shotshells, but want a quick way to pop in some when needed. I have no need to conceal a speedloader, let alone the gun, from the snakes, mice, etc. Based on some reviews elsewhere I bought a couple of 5 Star Firearms speedloaders, and should receive them in a few days.

girphoto Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Well, I did it the easy way for the hot summer months in Florida, I picked up last week an LCR in 9mm with moon clips (comes with 3). The rubber hammer grips are ok, but I ordered a set of custom no finger grove Walnut grips fro it from badgercustomgrips.com. It weighs in at just under 19oz loaded and loaded with Hydra-sho 124gr. No problem carrying an extra moon clip or two with 5 rds each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJones Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Look at a set of Speed Strips. Not the fastest, but they're flat and easier to carry. It sounds like they would meet your needs perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reloader901 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Received the 5 Star Firearms speedloaders to use with my Ruger LCR .357. They work great even with the wide grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
