"L.A.R. Grizzly
I run across one of these in a local pawn shop today in 45 mag caliber. I understand that L.A.R. is no longer manufactoring these guns and isn't offering waranty suport. This gun seemed to have a 6.5" barrel with two mags. I thought the asking price of $1080 is a little steep. The gun looks to have less than a box or so of ammo put through it. It's real minty the clips dont even show wear.
The gun seemed to have a good balance to me but the grip is awful wide and narrow.
What do you think about this gun? What kind of performace is delivered from the 45 Mag?
I think this gun was a Mk II."
TScottO,
I have a L.A.R. Grizzly in 45 Win Mag, 10mm, 45 A.C.P.,357 Mag and 357/45 Grizzly Win Mag. I enjoy this gun more that any that I own except for the facts that follow: I wrote to L.A.R. for spare parts, load data (357/45), and information about the pistols and all of the interchangeable barrel kits that were supposedly made for it. I got a letter back from them stating that they had nothing to offer me. Not even information on the product that they were selling in 1998. And that was about a year or two ago (that I wrote the letter). Very disappointing to say the least. This is the most accurate magnum pistol that I have ever shot (45 Win Mag only at this time). But, if you break something, then you will have to get spare parts for it custom made with a broken sample. The price on yours is a little high for a used one, but they first came out at around $!500.00. I know where there might still be some .357 Magnum magazines if they haven't sold them. They were asking $65.00 apiece for them new when I last checked. There might also be a 45 A.C.P. conversion kit available. If you like big bangs and a good hunting pistol, then this is a good one to pick except for the above mentioned problems.
Let me know if you are still interested in the accessories.
