Very cool, Army. I've looked at those. My preference is to have an external hammer like yours so you can choose to shoot either action. The bobbed hammer on a revolver just doesn't quite look right to me. (Maybe a little thinking similar to folk not liking a scope on a Henry!). I'm sure the recoil is solid with +P ammo, but I bet the Hogue Tamer grip will help a lot.

My first Ruger SP101 was a 3" with a fixed rear sight, and I changed out original grip to a Hogue. Also put one of those Hogues on my current 4.25" SP101. They really help with recoil, and keep the revolver solidly in position.

My one other revolver was an S&W Model 637 Enhanced Action out of their Performance Center (.38 Spl + P). It had a 1.875" barrel with a fixed rear sight. I think your 3" barrel is a great snubby length, and you made a great choice. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Agree...looking for those new-gun pictures!

I was in Cabelas in Denver and saw a boat load of Ruger revolvers (new). I saw a GP100 .22 lr. I first asked why, then it grew on me and I looked them all over.

I'm still warming up to the LCR series. 3" is a very practical length. Congrats on the new gun and as Ranch Roper said, Pics please.

I was in my LGS a few weeks ago and handled the GP100 in .22LR. A solidly built stainless steel revolver with a 5.5" barrel length....cool. But there would be a deal breaker for me on this model...I'm not ready to clean this many chambers after shooting it!!

Five or six is plenty...Army's new revolver is just right with 5 rounds!

Congrats on the new revolver. I have a snub LCR, DA only and really enjoy it.

Congratulations, a great looking revolver with great quality!

I don't know about 5 or 6 being enough. I have a Single-Ten and it is just right. I think I would like the exposed hammer because I'm not much of a single action person.

Sir Henry, I missed something in your post. Double action revolvers have exposed hammers just like single actions???
