Ruger LCR or Smith and Wesson 640?

[Fordtough25]

I say s&w, I carried my 340pd all weekend in my front pants pocket and it was perfect!!! I carry magnums, my first cylinder full was great accuracy wise. If I reload it needs to be 38 +ps though lol. Enjoyed a whole show at derby dinner playhouse and not a mouse was hurt, shocking.

Oh and I got lucky I guess, my snubbie came with a good trigger from the factory. And no lock to boot. Win!

Well, I opted for the LCR in 357mag.

I have to say, I am surprised at how well the little snubbie runs. Holding groups on an 8" pie plate at 20 yards is no problem.... not bad for a revolver with a barrel that is under 2". Point shooting at close range is fine. The trigger out of the box is great.

I ran some 158g JHP through it... Those are a handful. I ran some Hornady Leverevolution 140g FTX through it. Still pretty stout, but certainly manageable. Even with these loads, accuracy is strong.

Running 38+P is easy range play.

So, all in all a great little revolver.

The only problem is I still like the Smith and Wesson too..... as well as some old Colt snubbies I have been looking over.... I need to get this under control pretty quick before an addiction develops.

I haven’t got to shoot one of the LCR guns but have shot a decent variety of small 357 mag guns an I will say that I like the weight of the 640-1 to help absorb some of the recoil of the round when it come to the 357 mag. Litter doesn’t always mean better in some cases as in the cop derringer pistol. That gun suck to shoot because it’s so like and is a handful to keep in check.

1. If you figure out that addiction thing let me know: I've been taken over.
2. But, I'm having so much fun!

I enjoyed water and coffee, but the rest of my group had adult beverages. There were quite a few dark haired gals there, good fun and food! I felt solid with the 340 in one pocket and a speed strip in the other.

I have 2 S&W 640s, one is 38 special only, and other is 357. Both have good triggers and I like both.

Oh, sorry. Wrong color. This one is yours, isn't it?

WTF is that, Pistol-Bismol?
