The advertised velocity, from a two-inch barrel, is 1,070 fps but, as the chart reflects, the Punch load averaged 1,155 from the LCR. In addition, the projectile has a lead core with a nickel plating to help prevent deformation. This is accomplished by having a 29-grain projectile that allows for higher velocity out of short barrels. The new Federal Punch Personal Defense has been specifically designed to provide the deep penetration needed for a defensive load. 22 LR Ammo Testįederal’s new Punch round is specifically designed for personal defense.

Users will notice that the LCR has a significantly larger trigger guard than the Smith & Wesson 43C. The radiused and polished trigger, combined with Ruger’s patented friction-reducing cam system, gives the LCR an exceptionally nice trigger. The cylinder release, while small, is easily manipulated. The cylinder flutes on the cylinder are uniquely shaped and are attractive and help further reduce the LCR’s weight. Using a cylinder that is the same diameter as the. The seam between the upper and lower component is clearly visible. This reduces weight while still offering the strength that Ruger is known for.
