I just put this on another post but thought it might be useful here as well

my wife just got an LCR, she has been CC a smith 340PD. We brought them both to the range to compare, there was no comparison the Ruger was far more accurate for both of us with and without the laser activated.

WEIGHT - The smith wins by about 2 oz. ( 12 oz. )
RECOIL - The LCR wins slightly
TRIGGER - The LCR wins by a landslide (the 340PD went to the gunsmith)
ACCURACY - The LCR, its no contest ( tested at 20-25 feet )
POINTABILITY - about the same, slight edge to the S&W
GRIP FEEL - about the same ( both have crimson trace )
CONCEILABILITY - about the same
GUNPORN LEVEL - S&W wins easily here, but the LCR is growing on me
COST - (LCR - $700), (S&W 340PD - $1200)

*overall ( I hate to say it ) but the LCR won easily, after the trigger job the smith is much better, still not as accurate as the Ruger, but the cost difference is ridiculous. Here is a picture of some of my wifes carry guns
