Ok, so I'm looking for a Light weight carry revolver. Weight being one of the most important aspects. I carried an LCR for a long time, before the cylinder blew up, so I don't feel comfortable carrying another. I don't like internal locks, so most S&W's are out except for the stupidly expensive no-lock mp360.
I liked the feel of the Charter Arms Undercover Lite, but at 250 dollars, I'm wondering if this is a giant piece of crap. I have a couple of old Charter Arms, but I heard it's essentially a new company. I posted in the revolver section a long time ago and no one responded... so now I'll try the infinite wisdom of GD! |

Details on your LCR?..... I'm about to buy one in 357. It was an LCR in .357 as well. About 30-40 rounds down the pipe, I noticed it would hang on one of the chambers. I thought maybe it would smooth out. Then I took it out again, and somewhere between 50-60 rounds total the gun tried to jump out of my hand, and I felt bits and pieces of shit hit me all over. The round somehow struck the frame of the revolved and exploded the side of it pretty bad. I was shooting Hornady Critical Defense .38Spl |

I think you should stick with S&W's time tested J-frame if you insist on a small, lightweight, 5 shot revolver to stake your life upon. They are not expensive used, and arguably better made. I'm not disagreeing with you. Not at all... but the model I like has an internal lock and I hate that. If they didn't have locks, I'd have a bajillion new manufacture S&W's. |

OK How about a S&W 638? Shrouded hammer, can still cock it to SA CP I have found that with a half way decent trigger (most all S&W guns) teaching yourself to shoot double action is pretty much just a mater of pratice I myself think that in a pocket revolver (642 or similar) the hammerless feature is of more potential use than the ability to shoot single action |
