Django...the second photo you posted is not of a S&W model 642, but of a 638.

Out of the S&W v Taurus. I have shot both and the S&W is a better gun. That said you can save a few buck and buy a Taurus, if brand names dont mean that much to you, and it will work just as good. Only thing is that I have a preference to the S&W trigger.
The ruger looks cool but its a plastic revolver, .
Does anyone know if the Ruger LCR has other grip options? That is one thing that the S&W J-frames have. I have Hogue Monogrips on mine to have better recoil control and make follow up shots easier. I can put small wooden grips on it to increase ability to conceal if needed. There is also the Crimson Trace option.
I like the Ruger SP101. Also available as DAO with bobbed hammer.
