I am looking to get a lightweight revolver for pocket carry. I have shot the LCR and a 442/642. The 442 fits better in my pocket, and I like the trigger on the LCR better. I was reasonably accurate with both guns. I dont like that I cannot change the front sight to nightsights easily on the 442 so its off my list for now. But, the 340 M&P comes with a front nightsight which I really like, so I am considering it now, despite the price tag. The LCR is great but I would like the option of smaller rubber grips for concealability and a front night sight which are not out yet, but I am happy it will be an option.
BTW - I am indifferent about gun locks, I think both guns have them anyway. And I dont plan on carrying the 340 with 357 but I will probably try it out a few times. I may put laser grips on whichever gun I buy but I prefer nightsights be on there first.
So....what should I get?
And am I making too big a deal about night sights on a snubby? This is my first lightweight revolver and while I think they are important on my carry 1911s, I dont know how much difference they make on a lightweight revolver. Any thoughts here are appreciated.
