Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the Ruger LCR .38 Special for concealed carry?

The Ruger LCR .38 Special is designed for concealed carry with its lightweight polymer frame and aluminum inner frame/barrel sleeve. It features a replaceable pin blade front sight, a U-notch rear sight, and a PVD coated stainless steel cylinder. It's rated for .38 Special +P ammunition and can be upgraded with Crimson Trace laser grips for improved aiming.

How does the Sticky Holsters pocket holster work for carrying a revolver?

Sticky Holsters pocket holsters use a proprietary outer material that grips fabric to stay in place within a pocket. This design makes it effective for pocket carry, preventing the holster from coming out with the firearm during a draw.

Why is ammunition selection important for short-barreled concealed carry firearms?

Ammunition choice is crucial for short-barreled firearms because reduced barrel length leads to lower velocity. Ammunition designed to expand at higher velocities may not achieve its full potential, impacting terminal ballistics. Federal HST .38 Special +P is highlighted for its performance in this context.

What are the benefits of the Crimson Trace green laser grip upgrade on the Ruger LCR?

The Crimson Trace green laser grip offers instant-on capability and provides an immediate aiming point, regardless of lighting conditions. While it can slightly increase the grip's profile, it also offers greater recoil control.
