I carry a one-off, bob tailed Colt Officers model that I designed, holstered in El Paso saddlery, worn on an El Paso Rangers gun belt. Those who claim CCW doesn't stand for comfort carry weapon punish themselves needlessly.
Have carried and trained with both revolvers and semi-autos, my favorite carry revolver being a Colt Detectives Special. Some thoughts I would plant, we don't get to pick the fight, the fight picks us. That said I quit carrying a revolver when the reality of fighting against a Glock 19 dawned on me. Sure Jerry Miculek can get twelve rounds down range with a speed load in between shots in under 4 seconds but most of ain't no Miculek. I can change a magazine a lot quicker than speed load a revolver. That and magazines are easier to CCW than revolver speed loaders. But, to each his own.... the best carry weapon is the weapon on you.
This is true, the fight picks you. My point about the snub is that it's the perfect anti-ambush weapon. It's not what I'd want to get into a home invasion fight with. Some guru's are now saying that perhaps it might be a good idea to have two weapons on you. Most of them promote the little revolvers as back up weapons, at least for the novice and certainly not as a first weapon.
That's why I have my S&W Shield. With the size of compact semi-autos now, and in my opinion much better accuracy, more rounds, and faster reloads, I'll take my Shield any day.
I agree, I consider the best compact 5 shot snub ever made. Clearly the best trigger. Nothing is faster than this weapon especially using one hand. I can also see the LCR in 9mm with the full moon clips on my wish list. I want to see specific ammo made for it to avoid the "crimp jumping" that has plagued the ammo.
I have an LCR 9MM and like it very much. Nice complement to the LC9s Pro. 100's of 115 - 147 gr rounds through both without any issues.
