An overview of two popular, lightweight snubnosed pocket revolvers chambered in .38 Special caliber ... the Ruger LCR and S&W 442 Airweight. Both are excellent choices for pocket-sized zombie self-defense handguns. More detailed reviews to follow on these guns if interest is high.

  • Nice job on the review dude and I really dig both guns but like you, a slight nod to LCR. Hard to shoot but deadly if you get good. Peace.

  • @nutnfancy Thanks for checking in! I practice with standard lead nose, but carry w/ 138gr +P ... brutal in this size gun but manageable. I concur with your thoughts re: the .357mag version ... seems like it would just be too painful. As usual, your review for the LCR sets the standard.

  • Nice review. But I can't understand why someone would want to get a key holed 442 when they are available without. I love my (no lock) 442. The Ruger has nothing over it.

  • @FaganRoberts I'm not really a fan of the integral key locks either. It just happens to be what was available (at a killer price) ... my wife never uses the lock, and we're about to locktite the locks OPEN. Same on the LCR (my gun) ... especially since the lock is in a stupid place. They are both excellent shooters though ... my wife prefers the 442, I like the LCR a bit more.

  • Traded LCR .357 snub for the Smith 442.

    LCR Tamer grip "grabs" at your pantleg when worn on the ankle and will sometimes give a distinct weapon profile. 442 grip is nice and thin yet still fits your hand nicely with the finger grooves. .357 is too much to fire out of a 1 7/8 in barrel, IMO.

    The S&W cylinder release slides forward, while the LCR pushes in. This can "pop" the cylinder loose if worn in the pocket and prevent a proper seal of the round in the chamber.

  • The LCR/442 may be a good defense against humans but not against the undead. I would prefer a larger caliber and more bullets. A 1911 or Glock 21 would probably be more effective.

  • what kind of speedloader was that? looked really slick

  • RUGER LCR, Why the hell after pushing the cylinder released button, you have to force it open with the other hand, so much for speed loading. POS
