This has been my daily carry for many years. I can't recommend it too highly. BTW, I love the Crimson Trace grips.I had a S&W 642 that I wish I wouldn't have sold. It was lightweight, reliable, and it looked good. If I ever buy another snubby it's gonna be a 642.
One thing I like about the LCR is that it can be had with the Big Dot sites, is there any way to put these on a Smith?
I work part time at a range, have shot more than my share of light weight 38's and 357's, and have found the LCR to be one of the softest shooting pocket revolvers I have had the pleasure of putting a few rounds through.

The LCR trigger is nice out of the box, but it comes with a price- a very weak return spring. I once owned an LCR, return spring snapped within a couple hundred rounds. Ruger made it right, but I just couldn't trust it. You'll also need to practice so as to not short stroke it. There's little spring to push to the trigger back, but enough to reset the cylinder hand. Training can overcome this problem.
That event brought me to the purchase of a M&P340. I have zero cons to offer for the j-frame.

LCR, because it's another innovative American made product
