Is it "the best for EDC ever"?
Sturm Ruger’s & Co.’s Lightweight Compact Revolver (LCR) is often overlooked and ignored by traditional revolver snobs.

But it introduced several novel features in an otherwise stagnant revolver market when it was released a decade or more ago. It is far from an attractive pistol but it does what it was intended to do, and does it reliably and efficiently.
I came to say K frame.3in Model 65 or 13. K Frame, can shoot full power .357 or .38 special, and it fits most folks hands just about right. Grips and holsters galore for it.
I sold way too many Taurus revolvers back in the day to recommend them for anything serious.
I love the Model 13 and the 65 or the Ruger SP/GP series for this role. They are heavier, but I would rather wear a belt and use a good holster than compromise on weight. I can also shoot them with better accuracy than light weight guns. I do understand why light weight guns are appealing, but an all steel gun works better for me.
This is pretty close to my perfect EDC revolver:

Sorry, but I have to ask.
What is EDC?
