I need a lightweight double action only revolver. I like both of these but I can't decide which way to go. Which is the best choice? Which has the best trigger?
Lcr trigger is a lot lighter. S&w are pretty tried and true but those damn 5 shot hammerless 38s seem to be set at 12lbs or more. Both are good for what they are. It is easier however to short stroke the Lcr and skip a chamber if you don't let the trigger out all of the way after firing.
A friend of mine has the LCR. I liked it a lot but the short stroking was a problem for me. I think I could get over it if I had some extended practice with the pistol though. I like that the LCR has front sight options.
I carry the LCR / .357 in the summer when its hot and its really the perfect pocket pistol. The .38 & .357 are the same size but the .357 is about 4 ounces heavier with a stainless steel frame. VERY smooth trigger.
I have the S&W Bodyguard, great pistol. Trigger is fine and I like the factory lazer sight. Priced right at 416.00 bucks. I shoot 125g +p hp with no problems. I took a hard look at the Ruger as well. Good luck with your choice.
I have a S&W and LCR, I choose the LCR on a daily basis. I just shoot it better, It has the front fiber optic on it which helps a lot. THe smith has had some trigger work, just still liking the ruger more
If you like the 642 better, for whatever reason, you can make the trigger better with an Apex kit. 25 bucks and a short installation video about 30 minute job.
I went yesterday and looked at both. After trying the trigger on both I bought the S&W 642. I like it a lot. I have dry fired so much today that my finger turned purple but the trigger has smoothed out nicely now at about 12 pounds. I might try that apex kit though.
