Don't have one or know much about them. How do you like yours?

I knew the minute that I laid eyes on the LCR it was for me. But I went to an indoor public range (another thread on that issue later) to rent one just to see how it shot before I bought one. I picked it up & blasted the target, checked my shots, the rest is history. I knew if I could pick up a gun that I had never shot before & hit paper, I should be good to go with practice. For some reason I don't have trouble with recoil shooting 38 & 38+P's w/ct grips. I have not shot any 357 ammo with it though. ![]() |

I'm not allowed to bring one in my house (see my rule, below) and the ones I've tried in the store had a trigger pull from hell, though with Ruger, these days, you never know what you'll get for a trigger. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, though, and beauty is as beauty does, so if it works for you, I'm happy for you, girl.

I am used to the J frame S&Ws and I like having a hammer, even a shrouded one. Even though I use it DA I like having the control, and I have encountered situations where a revolver could be cocked and fired SA but not fired DA. Everyone I have known that had one loved it though. I don't recall anyone having a problem and when I handled one the trigger pull was fine. I have a Mod 638 Bodyguard and a Mod 36 so that niche is well covered.

But it does put the "U" in ugly, now that 303 can get the blame.

Personally I like the S&W 642 because all 5 rds and be fired in a jacket pocket DA without the hammer getting snagged on anything in pocket . It is only 20 ozs loaded and is great for house carry gun or a 2nd gun with your CCW gun . ![]() |

Hey TGR you may not be beautiful but you are ruggedly handsome. Not that I think about how men look. ![]() |

I have a the 38 Spl version of the LCR and am thinking of trading it on a Smith 642 when I get back home. I am also considering the 340PD but the price may make me rethink that one. As to the LCR I have had a couple of trigger reset issues which were common with the early models. It is accurate and the trigger is excellent but it is a carry piece and the couple of issues creates doubt. I like the weight because it is exclusively for pocket carry but it is just butt ugly. My thoughts are unless you plan to pocket carry then get an SP101. |

Gee, I think she's cute in a kind of goofy way, but cute.
