9mm. The LCR can be had in 9mm, which would be my choice if I were CC a revolver.
The ruger Hillary hole is on the grip frame.Have had both.
MUCH better trigger and recoil management with the LCR.
That means it's more fun to shoot & easier to get hits with. I'll pay extra for that!
Stronger steel frame in the magnum versions. The alluminum framed ones are lighter than an alluminum j-frame.
Easy to change front sight.
No "Hillary Hole".
Oh, 6 .327 Fed. Mag chambers if you want.
Except for size & cost the LCR is superior and it's not close.
Yes, I've "short stroked" it. I've short stroked about every handgun trigger I've trained hard with (Beretta M92. Etc.) It's part of learning how fast you can go.
You won't do it once you're used to it. It doesn't lock the gun up, either.

That was removed many years ago or so I thought. I am not taking mine apart to look.The ruger Hillary hole is on the grip frame.
There are a lot of guys not letting the trigger reset properly and then blaming the revolver.
If you’re into those tactical fantasies, just buy an auto. Snubby revolvers have a different skill set.
Understood.respectfully, i’ve been working more intensively with my s&w 642 lately, i.e. 400 rounds in the past 3 weeks: absolutely no short-stroking with double-taps. i honestly cannot say the same about my ruger lcr 22lr, that i have put 2500+ rounds through in the past 8-9 years. i probably wouldn’t fixate on the lcr’s short-stroke if it wasn’t the original snubbie, hammerless, dao model, i.e. built specifically as a rimfire ccw for which a rapid ammo dump to center mass is a preferred method of employment. the newer 3”, hammered, sa/da, lcr-x is designed to be more of a plinker or outdoors kit gun, where i wouldn’t be ammo-dumping as much, with slower shots. just my thoughts, cheers.
I've noticed that recoil can help get the finger off the trigger for proper trigger reset when firing quick double taps, cylinder dumps, etc. In my experience a quick shooting trigger reset problem can show itself more with a rimfire than with a centerfire firing snappy live ammo.
My ol' Taurus 85UL would show my trigger work weaknesses on occassion when dry firing, but when shooting live ammo the problem never presented itself. A similar problem used to occur with a certain unnamed low recoiling .32 ACP pistol I have as well.

This.

And This. Plus the fact that 32 S&WL shoots like butter. I needed this for my wife who has limited hand strength and limited shooting arm mobility. My sister's 638 airweight in 38 spcl kicks like a mule.
