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

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.
