Im leaning towards the lcp max. I like the lcr but it doesn’t seem practical.
I saw a video claiming that the Ruger got more velocity out of a given .22 round than the S&W even though the barrel lengths are the same. The problem is, the person measured the Ruger velocity but was taking the S&W figures from someone else. This raises all the “not the same conditions” or testing methods issues.
I know a bunch of issues could lead the a difference in velocity out of a similar length barrel (rifling, forcing cone, distance from cylinder, etc) even if all the other conditions are fixed (atmospheric conditions, testing methods, etc).
My question is, has anyone tested the two side by side (Ruger LCR .23 and Smith & Wesson 43C) and determined if there is a significant difference—100 FPS or more)?
I'm thinking about buying a 9mm revolver. I have found a few of these. Do any of you have any experience with them?

Or LCRx, loaded with defensive ammunition? I would really appreciate it.
- I currently have a Glock 19 9mm as my personal carry/main sidearm.
- I am now looking for a backup/concealable/SITF last-ditch gun.
- After doing some research, I have decided that the Ruger LCR fits my needs. But now I am having trouble deciding what caliber to get it in.
- My Top 3 Choices
- 22lr-The reason I am considering getting it in 22lr is that the ammo is cheap and plentiful and if the SHTF, 22lr will be the easiest to scavenge and collect.
- 9mm-My main gun is already in 9mm, so I will not have to buy more than one caliber. Plus, a 9mm revolver would make a decent backup/concealable handgun.
- .357-While I would get the LCR in .357, I would only use .38 specials in it due to the lesser recoil. The plus with the .357 is that it can fire two different calibers, which would make it easier to scavenge for ammo if the SHTF.
