Looking for a snubby- S&W 442 or Ruger LCR

S&W x42 v LCR

This subject seems to come along every now and then. I've carried a 642 for the last couple years and since it's carried I've practiced with it quite a bit. The LCR is a smoother firing weapon, but now that I've fired 700 rounds through the 642 it's pretty much as smooth. I find the recoil is easier to manage with the 642 over the LCR.

You can't really go wrong with either one.

I have the 642 and wish I had got the one with the laser. Don;t waste your $ on speedloaders, there is no room for them. use speed strips instead.

Polymer frame with built in laser. I held one at city arms in pleasant hill and it was pretty nice. Trigger was not as nice as LCR but the smith was only like 500 with the built in laser. I didn't like the location of the cylinder release though.
