A friend just bought a new LCR in 38 w/crimson trace for his wife.  The gun would be impressive, but there is a rattling noise at the slightest movement.  It's is not the cylinder or the laser grip.  Do your new Ruger revolvers make noise in their internal assemblies?   The gun has not been fired yet and the folks at Gander Mountain (where purchased) said these revolvers do that even though the display didn't.    Thanks!

It's known as the LCR rattle.  I read about it before I ordered one and it's not a problem, apparently a lot of revolvers' transfer bars rattle.

Thanks guys!  A little surprised by this.  My only ruger handguns are a MarkII and 44 Blackhawk; they are both solid.  Why would Ruger make a more commonly carried sidearm that clanks and jingles when from my experience they are solid in their larger platforms?  Has Ruger ever addressed this apparently common issue? At the least it is an annoyance that will impact their sales/value.

ETA - Is there an easy fix to the transfer bar rattle?  Or is everyone just living with it?

If I shake my LCR i can hear a rattle, but I honestly don't even notice it when I'm carrying it.  What is your main concern with this slight rattle? Are you planning on sneaking around with the gun and thinking it will give away your position?

Every time this is ask it shows who has read the LCR manual that came with the pistol and who hasn't.
