I started a thread a few days back about CCW. I've been looking into many different kinds of small autoloaders in both .380 and 9mm and a little bit at .38 snubnoses. I have to say the idea of a snubnose is growing on me but I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe it's the light weight, or simplicity of the design, or the awesome caliber, or the small size. Anyway, I'm seriously considering a revolver for CCW at least part of the time until I can settle on an autoloader.
Since my only experience with revolvers is a very very old double action .22, I need some pointers in what makes a good revolver. So far I've found the LCR and the S&W 442 to be among the top ones that interest me. I like the grip and have read that the trigger on the LCR are great. But the 442 has been around longer and is probably more widely used, it's smaller, and from what I've seen it's less money. Only thing I don't like about the 442 is that the grip seems to go into a straight part of the frame and it doesn't look like a comfortable grip. Either that or the recoil may just push the metal frame into the hand. Anyway, if anyone could give me some pointers and some advice I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
