Lightweight snubbies

Do yourself a favor and buy an LCR

I was very close to buying an LCR...until I laid hands on a S&W Wyatt Deep Cover. I love that pistol and do not regret paying the premium. At all.

I strongly suggest those who dislike lightweight revolvers don't buy them.

See, that's how you can avoid any preaching.

Just quit it there with the logic, mister!

I love my LCR 357, granted I typically only shoot 25 full house rounds out of it, but will shoot 100 of my own ligher 357 loads. I've tried some of the heavier 357's, don't like them as much. That said, I'm probably going to get another gun for myself next fall and just don't know what I want. I currently have a Charter Arm's 38 spl, a KLCR 357, Jenning J-22 and use my wife's Mark I and LCP 9mm. Not sure if I want to get a 45 or 44 mag.

I think S&W's feet are just fine

I too, would be MUCH more concerned with ME holding up to a light weight 357, than the gun holding up.

I "REALLY" like the looks of the Ladysmith Model 60.
But just can't imagine firing a steady diet of fullhouse 357s thru it.

Some will suggest shooting 38s in it, but I want to play & practice with the EXACT same ammo that I'm going to defend my life with.

SO I compromise by carrying a S&W Model 38 with Uncle Mike's rubbers on it.

I carry a 442 and a LCR357 every day. I never could pick one over the other.

Five or six years ago I was thinking to buy a S&W 340PD and I was concerned about its durability. So I e-mailed S&W about the my concerns when shooting factory .357Mag; they said it will hold up 25000 rounds or more of factory .357Mag. So it is pretty durable. Anyway I decided against it because of the lock, titanium cylinder, alloy frame and bla, bla, bla; I decided against the 642, 638, 442 for some of the same reasons as well and finally opted for an all steel NIB 649-1 Bodyguard of 1988-89 with all the papers and everything: I was happy like a puppy. After only 800 rounds (mostly .38SPL Wad Cutters) the hammer stud broke and I wasn't happy anymore.
After that experience I don't judge S&W snubbies on weight, materials, lock or no-lock, date of production, etc. anymore...
