Thanks everyone for the head's up about the Bodyguard 38 as well. I was wary of S&Ws because of the painful recoil on the J-Frame Airweight I shot, but Hogue makes a "tamer" grip for the Bodyguard 38 similar to the one that comes on the LCR (though it looks like the Bodyguard's tamer grip has a pinky rest and the LCR's tamer grip does not). Also, the Bodyguard allows you to have the laser with the tamer grip, whereas the LCR makes you choose between the two.
And the ambidextrous cylinder release is appealing, as is the significantly lower price of the Bodyguard (comparing laser-equipped model to laser-equipped model).
On the other hand, a lot of reviews suggest that the LCR has a better trigger. Anyone here care to weigh in? Are there other advantages of the LCR over the Bodyguard, or is it just a matter of personal preference?
