I sold three semi-auto .22 LR pistols and bought this LCR .22 because I was tired of semi-autos that are very picky about ammo, require babying, and which I didn't trust. The LCR .22 is wonderful to shoot, accurate, and, of course, very reliable (even revolvers can fail, but it's much less likely and you can usually just pull the trigger again to advance to the next round). I had one of these years ago, but sold it because I felt the trigger was too heavy. This new one seems more smooth (more like my LCR and LCRx in .38), but maybe I'm imagining that. Anyway, if you want a small .22 handgun, you can't beat the Ruger LCR .22.

Great little revolver for the purpose. I don't expect this to be a target gun, nor a primary defensive weapon. It's obviously neither. What it is however is a great back up revolver with 8 shots of deterrent. I usually carry it in a pocket holster as a back up, a walking down to the road to get the mail gun or as just a walking around my property gun. Well made, lightweight and good trigger for it's purpose.

Very happy with both the LCR! It’s an excellent option for an affordable and reliable .22 revolver.

Good gun. If someone is going to use a .22LR, being in a revolver is probably the best way. Bud's service are A+.

Bought this as a carry and house defense weapon. When it became time to requalify my CCL I decided to use this revolver. We did just fine. This revolver exceeded my expectations. Buds Gun Shop and along with my FFL made the transaction very smooth. This weapon is easy to shoot, easy to clean and very easy to conceal.

My apologies to Buds gun for not reviewing my recent purchases, I had a death in the family and it has taken a toll on everyone, I purchased the Ruger Lcr not to long ago for my wife to begin her job into firearms we finally were able to venture out to the range a week ago to finally get some needed practice, I must tell everyone this revolver was an absolute joy on her face when she fired it! Wow that really made me proud of her you see she has ptsd and just the other people that where there was terrifying for her! We belong to a range in Massachusetts and I must say it has to be one of the best and friendlier bunch people that we have ever met, they offered a private area for her to shoot without all that gunfire around us! Thanks to you Budsgun for the best price and fast delivery we now will be grateful to both the Range and Budsgun! Looking forward to working with you in the future! Long live the United States of America! Oh yes of course that Ruger lcr 22lr is a great training tool 5 stars hopefully I can work her up to a larger scale weapon but for now baby steps!!!

Would buy again. Light weight and easy to shoot. Using CCI quiet 22LR lowers the bang a bit. So far so good.

Very smooth trigger pull definitely heavier than my lcr in 9mm but to be expected in a rimefire. It's easy got get off quick accurate shots! Very fun little gun and super reliable with cci or federal ammo! Speedbeez makes a range box kit so you have a nice 10 fast reloads ready for you the monent you get to the range or to the backyard soda cans!!!

Its back at Ruger after about 50 rounds fired, the trigger and cylinder was locking up towards the end of firing. They are totally replacing the gun they said it was not repairable, so that's going to be a month without a band new gun. My first LCR in .38 had to go back too after the barrel bushing started walking out after about 1000 rounds. I am starting to be not very impressed

Received in perfect order. Trigger is stiffer than I would have liked but I guess that's to be expected from a rimfire pistol this size. Easily concealable and well made.

Bought one for my wife. Nice pistol.

Great little pocket gun. No recoil and decent trigger. Surprisingly accurate for a short barrel 22lr. Arrived fast from Buds....where I do all my online gun shopping.

A very nice revolver. The best for pocket defense gun. I wish they made an 8 round 22 mag. I will be the first to buy it.

I bought the LCR on 22 caliber for my wife, to start shooting with a light caliber and a simple to use revolver. I may be buying a second one for me, it really is a fun plinker!

High quality little 22 that I just can’t figure out what it’s purpose is. To each their own.

Perfect and Exelent!

what a great little gun! Buds cash option beat everyone’s price. Smooth transaction too. Love Buds so glad I am a teams bud member. So worth it Thanks Buds. Kickok45 sent me!

Very well made gun. Wanted a 22 revolver and couldn't be happier with it.

I wanted a lightweight snubnose revolver in .22 LR, and I was deciding between this and the Smith and Wesson 43C. I'm pleased with the Ruger LCR. My purpose for this gun was (1) I didn't have a revolver and wanted one because I think they're cool (2) I wanted a double action only revolver as a training aid to help with trigger control (3) I wanted a handgun in .22 LR because I already have other firearms in that caliber; if I got a .38 or .357 it's gonna be a lot more expensive to shoot and now that's another caliber I need to stock, and .22 reliability issues are mitigated by getting it in a revolver, and (4) coming from the world of striker-fired semiautos without safeties, I wanted something I'd feel comfortable pocket carrying on occasion without feeling like I'm risking a negligent discharge. Concealability / comfort: It's very lightweight, and the dimensions are concealable. In a sticky hoslter it's very comfortable. Haven't carried in in kydex yet. Trigger: I like the heavy double action trigger pull. Good for training and for avoiding a negligent discharge. Action: I'm a fan of the internal hammer, because there's one less thing to snag, and it forces me to train on the double action trigger instead of giving into the temptation to cock the hammer and go single action. Caliber: It's a .22, so it's cheap to shoot. More range time makes me a happy guy. Yeah, I know it's not the most powerful caliber, but it's a gun, and that sure beats a sharp stick. Haters gonna hate, but anyone in my family can shoot this. It's fun, easy, and cheap to shoot, which means you will actually practice with it more, which means you will build confidence, which means you are more likely to carry it. As they say, the .22 in your pocket is better than the .45 you left at home. Accuracy: I'm pleased with the accuracy. For an average shooter like me for training and self-defense distances, it works just fine. Aesthetics: I think it looks nice, but I am not overly concerned with looks. If you want a more classic look then go with something else. Fit: I have big hands, and the grips feel nice. I don't plan on changing them out.

The Ruger LCR 22LR has a comfortable grip, a smooth , but taut trigger pull , and very little recoil. This revolver will serve multiple purposes.

Nice gun,, shipping was timely

The Ruger LCR 22 LR is one of 6 calibers that Ruger has currently in the LCR configuration and I have ordered 4 of them thru Buds. I was happy with the purchase and the delivery from Buds. I have ordered several other guns since then from Buds as well. I also appreciate their email notice system when a product is out of stock....I have now ordered 2 different pistols when I was notified they were back in stock. Buds does a great job keep you informed on where your order is and when it should be at your FFL. Will definitely re-order from them in the future when I order the 38 and the 9mm.

Solid transaction from Bud's. Double action rimfire triggers are heavy by design and changing springs may cause ignition problems. As is it's too uncomfortable for my wife to shoot, which is why I bought it. Even my finger gets tender after 2-3 cylinders. It's solid and fun to shoot and it will loosen up a bit with use.

Owned the Ruger LCR 38 special and bought it right when they came out years ago. Great gun and decided to add the LCR .22 LR to the collection. Great shooter and saving money on the ammo. This .22 is a great gun for range and even concealed carry if needed. Thanks Buds.
