I regret parting with my LCR several years ago. I'm not sure what I was thinking about when I traded it away for something forgettable.
The LCR was an excellent revolver that was easy to carry and easy to shoot. I now carry a S&W 637-2. It's a very good revolver, but I really miss the LCR's trigger. |

Dumped a newer production 442 that had issues for a Ruger LCRx. Been carrying it for close to 2 years now. Love the trigger pull.

I chose the LCR in .38 as my backup gun while on duty. While it is a fugly little gun, it beat out the 442/642 (for me) because: 1. It has a much better factory trigger; better than my partner's Apex'd 642. 2. It has the option of changing out the front sight to something actually visible; I went with the XS sight.

Yeah, I need the UPC code for the XS sight. I want to find the cheapest price on it. I am also considering that sweet hogue grip with the plastic sides and rubber front and back straps

Part number is RP-0008N-4. Check Brownells, MidwayUSA, or Optics Planet for best pricing... |

I've owned a number of both. I like the easily changed front sight blade and smooth trigger pull of the LCR, but much prefer the trigger reset with the 442/642's. I sold my LCR's but kept my j frame S&W's. Both are great, but for my own use I prefer the j frames.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The LCR reset has kept me away from it. I was stoked when I heard the 9mm was coming out. Changed my mind when I reset the trigger on one in a shop.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I have shot traditional DA revolvers for a long time, the LCR has a very light but long reset stage. It’s easy for me to jump it and the cylinder will rotate without firing the gun. A balanced pull/reset is important to me because it isn’t my only revolver. Quote HistoryQuoted:

LCR is a great gun, I don’t think you’ll regret it.

Here's a good video listing the pros and cons of each and I think he does a good objective job of it. The reset is mentioned on here too....
