    I really considered the LCR for a long time especially the trigger. The only reasons that I did not buy it was it's overall size and the inability to fire it in SA mode. That's the reason that I bought the 638. (Which will sadly have to go back to S&W so that they can put the proper cylinder on it. )

    The notch is supposed to be there as well as the bulge at the front of the frame!

    The double action only doesn't bother me. In a self defense setting I wouldnt use single action. Just drawl and fire. The hammer gets in the way and snags when drawn from a pocket too. I would buy the lcr on the trigger alone. It's just that good but there are a ton of other great things about the gun. The grip adds a little bulk but not much and it aids in recoil reduction. I haven't really had a problem with it's size since I've been carrying it. It's always in my pocket and if it won't fit in my pocket it's on my side

    Well, I still haven't talked to S&W yet but will call them tomorrow. I don't mind the cylinder accepting the 357 but......if I ever do sell it.....some people will be all upset.

    Lol I can see that happening down south here. You know what I mean though. If you pull your gun to protect you life you don't really want to waste your time fiddling with the hammer. At least I don't lol.

    The hammer on the 638 is shrouded. I'd use the SA only if I had to take a longer shot and if I had the time. Otherwise, DA all the way. Presently have 158 grain SJHP +P loaded in it. Don't think that they won't hurt. BTW - Will probably use the 638 as a backup to my 3" SP 101. The SP 101 has 158 grain SJHPs in the cylinder. Also, carry another 5 rounds of the +P in a speed loader.

    I forgot about the shrouded hammer on those. Nice pistol. 38+p would definately get the job done.
