Concealability of LCR vs. SW 638/ 642

[psyprofessor]

Anyone out there purchased a Ruger LCR? I would be interested on your feedback?

1. How does it compare to SW 638 in terms of CCW?

2. Advantages/disadvantages of LCR?

I handled a LCR at the shot show this past weekend. Sweet!! It's a tad larger than my 442 but a bit lighter. I personally didn't like the trigger pull. Very heavy to start, long and went real light just before it fired. I'd say check it out. I'm a Smith fan and love the J's but I think Ruger's got a winner here.

The LCP hides very well due to it's slim profile. No cylinder bulge to contend with.

LCR, not LCP.

Apparently several people don't know what an LCR is...

I suspect a lot of people will know what it is before long.

This is kind of a dumb question since the LCR hasn't been released yet. You could read up on gunblast.com's review of it though it is rather brief.

Oops, my bad, read that too quickly. I'm actually on the waiting list for an LCR at my local shop. I'm hearing beginning of March, does that sound on par?

Considering it doesn't hit the shelves until March I doubt you will find many people with any experience that goes beyond reading articles about this gun.
