J, that barami hip grip works very well, it holds the gun in place along with the tension of my belt, the very slim grips make them very easy to conceal, and I don't worry about the gun going off, I'm sure I'd feel the cylinder rotating if the trigger got caught on something. And I am extremely careful when putting the pistol in place. The bad part is shooting the pistol with those hard slim grips, it's a little painful, but I doubt that would be an issue if it was ever needed. There is plenty of grip to control the weapon, and it works well for me. Usuallly it's carried over towards appendix position, but goes elsewhere when I want to sneak it in someplace where they pat you down. It's very rare that I do that, usually only at places downtown, where we have people of questionable character hanging out on the streets, and you have to park sometimes blocks away from the venue. If it were somehow detected, they first have to ask you to leave, and if you don't they can call the cops and you get a small fine to pay.Tom

It's arguably the best load available.

S&W makes the revolvers by which all others are judged. You can't go wrong by buying the best.Never trust anyone who doesn't trust you to own a gun.

I looked at an LCR yesterday, .38 +p. Gun is used, belonged to my FFL's girlfriend and she swapped it for a Glock. It looks new, comes with everything from the Factory, an HKS speed loader, and a box of Hornady Defense ammo. He's asking $420 on it...is that a fair price, or what would be a good offer on it? He has a brand new Taurus 605 (poly and stainless) in 357 for $350, but I liked the feel and trigger of the LCR more, and in a package that size, I reckon 38 +p would work just as well as .357.

You can shoot 357 or 38.

This is a 38, but one I like to recommend.

The only reason that I got my 638 rather than the LCR was that the 638 is definitely smaller. Trigger on the LCR is way better than the 638 (unless you've had a trigger job done like JFootin). Still can't figure out exactly how his gunsmith was able to get a 4 1/2 pound pull out of it and still ignite the primers.On the internet, the number of posts do not correlate to actual knowledge.
The notch is supposed to be there as well as the bulge at the front of the frame!

Looks like a SP101 is the minum weight (26oz vs 17 oz for LCR in.357) to reasonably use .357, am I wrong? Again looking for CCW and range fun.
If shtf I have other guns, snubby is sure as **** not my first choice.This place isn't safe.

Thanks for the offer JFootin, but I'll just do some more polishing on my own. Since I've got a bunch of springs from Wolff for the gun, may start cutting coils too.On the internet, the number of posts do not correlate to actual knowledge.
