Ruger LCRx in .357mag?
The Ruger LCRx in .38 Special is recommended over a hypothetical .357 Magnum version due to weight and recoil considerations. For short barrels (<2 inches), .357 Magnum offers minimal ballistic advantage over .38 Special +P, with the latter providing a better balance of power and shootability. A .357 Magnum LCRx would necessitate a heavier steel frame, negating the LCR's primary appeal of being lightweight for concealed carry.
