Snubbies.

I never shot a LCR .22 but the LCR .38 is a sweet shooter and should work for pocket carry.

The LCR is the main gun of the topic. I'd think it would work fine but it just looks so dang bad. Been watching some old B sci fic flicks recently and I've seen a few ray guns on there that looked similar. Might not be bad but not my things. Knowing Ruger it is probably a very good gun.

BTW, I'm kind of old fashion. I still much prefer blue steel over stainless.

I really love this board. I had a way-too-tired-to-still-be-up missive. I woke up refreshed. Still love my J frames. Still love my training tool of an LCR .22. Has helped tremendously. Could now qualify with a snub. Will admit that I couldn't have beforehand. Instead of dwelling on the irrelevance of my post, a real honest-to-goodness discussion has evolved. Even when I am stupid, and wake up wondering if I should have posted in the first place, I feel welcome.
Thanks. You guys rule.
BTW, I love my 642. My 637 reigns as well. Particularly after switching to a G19 for daily carry. My original choices now seem like a no-brainer-why-would-I-ever-leave-the-house-without-this type situation. This carry thing keeps getting easier and easier.

I carry a 340pd as well but with a green hiviz front blade. The Ruger is nice but I bought my Smith for its weight, yes it kicks like a mule, but when the poo hits the fan recoil is not your biggest problem. Its not a range gun, I only shoot it enough to stay proficient and no more. Also I carry it loaded with +p 38spl, not mags and no speed loaders or strips, if I need more than 5 rounds I have bigger problems.

Not exactly, but close. I bought a a Ruger SP101 in .357, and then bought one in .22LR for practice. Then bought a third in .357 DAO.

Now I would only carry the DAO, so I traded the first SA/DA .357 to my brother for a vintage (i.e., made in W. Germany) Sig P228. Uh-oh, the toothpaste is now out of the tube. That Sig is FINE. Fits my hand like a custom orthotic fits my foot. Now I will probably have to buy a Sig P226 in .22LR just to be consistent.
