Don't get me wrong - I like the idea of the LCR with a single action option if that's what you want. Until I handed my Wife a revolver (she grew up with them on the farm) I always prefered to shoot a revolver single action as that was the way I learned. For accuracy, thumb the hammer back and get it in single action mode. Used to shoot my Dan Wesson at 100 yards like a tack driver that way.
I handed her a revolver (her Dad's S&W model 19) and she raised the gun and pulled the trigger. Put three rounds in the X with .38 Specials at 21'. I was stunned...she never shoots SA. She has a Ruger LCR and despite tha fact that it initially beat her up with recoil, she hits very well with it DA only. So, I figured if a little chic can do it, so could I.
Now I prefer DA and shoot our LCR well enough I wouldn't trade it for a hammer/SA/DA model. It's just another thing to snag on a pants pocket. For a kit gun with a longer 3" barrel? I'd like the option.
I used to never shoot 'em DA until my Wife did it.
Just sayin'.
