Well I Checked Out One LCR in 357....
...and to be honest... I was not that impressed. Maybe I happened across a very rough example. The cylinder release button required more pressure than I thought was appropriate. I tried the DA pull & it was smooth, but it exceeded the scale on my trigger pull gauge. My gauge only goes up to 8 lbs.
I then tried out a Taurus lightweight & it was much better than the Ruger in every way. I happen to have owned a couple of S&W J-Frames over the years & one Taurus lightweight. I have always been able to shoot the Taurus much better than my S&W. I can see the sites on the Taurus much better.
There is another Gun Shop nearby that has a few LCR's that I plan to go & compare sometime this week. Meanwhile the search continues.
Thank you everyone for your very informative replies.

- Given those options and limitations, I'd say get the LCR - FOG, 2013-05-26, 15:09
- The triggers are smooth and light for a DAO. (nm) -
