Ruger made money and people kept buying it to the point that ruger raised prices. The average .38spcl aluminum j frame is now cheaper than the plastic gun built to out cheap it.
No because the lcr ate the j frames lunch for so long and has more caliber options besides semi gucci .22, scandium fricktonium .357 worth the same as a fullsize magnum, or basic throw in your pocket .38. Smith just slept when thier response (the bodyguard.38) didn't do what they wanted so they just kinda gave up and continued to sell to the people who would buy a j frame. Like when they stopped giving a shit after the sigma failed until they scrapped it and made the M&P instead.

Why? Are J frames bad?
No it's just econ.
CNC and Aluminum frames
Steel J frames are still expensive because of milling steel frames

All LCRs are $600. The only difference between them is the cylinder and how much of the barrel they drilled out.
Who cares? For $600 a .22 revolver better also suck my dick and cook my dinner for me.
I'll pay a premium for a nice .22 since I know I'll shoot it a lot
>mmm yes gentlesir i would like to see your expensive .22 lr pistols
>what?! Why are they expensive?!
whys the .22 wmr version only 6 rounds?
higher pressure
I wish 22lr and 22wmr were like .38 and .357
this, I get why but it'd be nice if there were more standardization and parent cases when they were made
Because the other one is $800.
Cause money is split between Sturm, Ruger and company.
Because shitty mold injected polymer and shitty MIM is.... expensive?
because they knew you wanted the blade runner grips you fricking NERD
Because rimfire DA revolvers are hard to make.
