New carry revolver suggestions.

[The Gavman]

Today I was celebrating finishing another year of college by shooting my FNP-9 and my P3AT when I came to the realization that I hate my P3AT. It is very accurate for what it is but literally every shot the trigger pinches my finger no matter how I hold it and it jams unless you have a death grip on it. So I'm gonna get practical and sell the P3AT and buy something that doesn't jam. I'm thinking of something no bigger than .357 and a 2-3 inch barrel in the $400 price range.

A slightly used Ruger SP-101 can be had for less than 400 and for a little over 400 you can find new ones.

A Ruger LCR can be had for a little over $400, depending on how light weight you want to go. There's even a used LCR .357 in the for sale section for $350 at the moment.

I'm a revolver fan... I have a Taurus 85 lightweight which is nice to carry and ok to shoot at the range. Never had a problem with it. The only thing with it is I have to keep an eye on the release button because the screw will loosen occasionally.

I 2nd the LCR...

 

[MtnBiker6510]

LCR also. Very nice shooting and easy to carry

You can't go wrong with a Ruger LCR. Just bought a LCR 357, great gun. Smoothest out-of-the-box trigger I have seen.

 

[The Gavman]

Is the LCR offered in exposed hammer form? I want a revolver with an exposed hammer. Since I dont have 50 posts yet I can't purchase from the classifieds yet but I'm working on that.

I have an LCR and like it alot, but I prefer my S&W 642 (no exposed hammer). I prefer DAO defense weapons. (Too light of trigger pull leads to accidental discharge).

 

[localone]

I carry my public defender in a iwb and love it

 

[rangerobber]

I picked up a S&W model 49 .38spc. makes a nice pocket gun.

 

[Osobuco]

By a used prelock smith and wesson - you will be glad you did.

My brother has a LCR in .357, Very nice wheel gun.

 

[Denny347]

I sold my P3AT and bought a 642. 642 is so much more reliable and I have gotten quite good at loading 5 fresh rounds from a speed strip. I just hated the thought of the P3AT as my go-to gun off-duty. I do not seem to share the same fears with my Smith.

Is the LCR offered in exposed hammer form?

Not to my knowledge.

 

[Knuckle Head]

Not to my knowledge.

Here is a link to Ruger for the LCR, no exposed hammer (Sorry, I have no wheel gun suggestions).
