Is that smith and wesson 442 have stock trigger ? How many round did you put through it? By the way, recoil wise, ruger lcp 380 acp and s&w 442, which one did you found more comfortable shooting?
@@JFNIReverse You just gave me a good idea for another comparison video. I still have my Ruger LCP 380 and its got about 2000 rounds through it so far. As for the 442, its a newer addition with 500 rounds through it and it has all the stock springs. With standard loads, I think the 442 is easier to shoot and has less muzzle flip than the LCP but that might be more about having a bit more grip to hold onto with the 442. +P ammo is definately snappier than anything the LCP puts out.
James, I used to work at Jim's and while watching this video I'm like, "I swear this guy sounds familiar." I then recognized the range. I may have sold you one of these. I'm looking to buy an LCR myself. Good stuff!
I just got a S&W model 637 after owning a LCR for about nine years. Although the trigger pull is great on the Ruger - it's a great little gun in general - I've never been comfortable with the "false reset". I grew up shooting S&W and for better or worse, that's my comfort zone. Other than my issue with the Ruger trigger reset, they're both really nice little guns...surprisingly accurate, and surprisingly comfortable to shoot. Can't really go wrong either way.
I own both of these revolvers, but my LCR is the .357 model, so it’s a little heavier than the .38 in this video. I love both of these revolvers, but I prefer the LCR over the Smith. My only reason is for the trigger, I love the trigger. The trigger pull of the Smith is considerably heavier than the Ruger. Again, this is only my preference. As far as the speed loader, I don’t carry one anyways. I find the speed strip as a better option for quick reloading. Plus, the strip fits better in my pocket than the cylinder of a speed loader. So the thicker grips on the Ruger isn’t an issue for me. Speaking of, the thicker grips fit better in my hands than the Smith. Other than that, I shoot them both equally well. The recoil is about the same for me, I don’t notice one over the other in that regard. The Smith is more attractive than the Ruger, by a long shot. I like the larger trigger guard of the LCR. If I’m wearing gloves, it’s easier to get my finger on the trigger. They each serve a different purpose for me. When it’s just everyday carry, it’s the .38 Smith and Wesson. The .357 is my backpacking sidearm due to the extra power and the lightweight. I love both!!! If I could only have one, it’s the LCR. I’m glad I don’t have to choose because I love them both 🙂
Although the Ruger "out of the box" is a little smoother than the S&W. The design is slightly less reliable if you have to shoot as fast as you possibly can. The Ruger is slightly more prone to "short stroking", thus making it slightly less reliable. With the S&W J-frame if you do extensive dry firing, which I always recommend with CCW/EDC weapons (in a safe manner); the trigger on the J-frame will smooth out quite a bit. Again I am not saying the Ruger is a bad firearm (I love Ruger's, and own many). I am just saying that in comparison between the S&W J-frame vs the LCR; I give the S&W a slight edge.
@@doldemenshubarti8696 I should’ve been a little more clear. I use Buffalo Bore hard casts, but not the 357 loads. I use 3 each, .38 +P Outdoorsman, and I use 2 ea 357 flat nosed copper jacket. I alternate them. Both drive those bullets pretty damn well. I don’t feel underpowered when I’m packing those.
Excellent review and thank you for being thorough about comparing the two. I am now contemplating the S&W 442 or 642 Performance Center with enhanced action from S&W for my summer daily pocket carry.
I will cast a vote for a 642 because the cylinder is stainless steel, not carbon steel. Even in a pocket in a holster, my 442's cylinder can get a little rusted over time.
Spot on that’s one of the reasons why I got rid of the LCR I’m a Smith guy but that was the problem that I was having That false reset if you are used to Glocks where you don’t reset the trigger all the way that’s not the gun for you (Ruger) to have as a back up ETC.
Another good video. You had a finer aiming point on the silhouette with the Smith than with the Ruger.. than might be the difference in accuracy , I know it had made a difference with my group sizes before. Thanks for another good video
I have a few LCR's and I just sold my 9mm LCR. I do not recommend the 9mm because I had the occasional bullet creep out of the cylinder rendering the gun useless.
Bullet creep with jacketed rounds? Because they are less likely to do that as are wadcutters. If it wasn't jacketed, that might be your problem as with guns that are lighter, under 16 oz maybe or 14 something oz or lighter still, like 13 something ounces, unjacketed rounds can have bullet creep. The lighter the model the more of a problem it is. 9mm might be more problematic as well, I don't know though about it being more of a problem in 9mm. A very light gun and or powerful rounds can do this if unjacketed.
I own both. For holster carry, Smith is best because the recessed design above grip allows for strap to solidly secure firearm. LCR rounded shape causes it to move around too much in holster, but is perfect pocket carry, and does shoot more accurately for me
Personal observation with J-Frame grips. While the Hogue Bantam grips still leave the back strap uncovered, the grip material being softer and allows for better all-round grip control than similar wood or harder materials. With stout loads, the Js are still going to buck quite a bit, but the Bantam grips mitigate - sort of better distribute some of that unpleasant bite. Still find it baffling that some manufacturer can’t figure out how to put a thin layer of recoil absorbing material over the back strap without significantly increasing the bulk, but I also see the challenges with S&W grip frame design. Great review of both. If the Ruger prices weren’t sort of dead even with the Smiths now days, the LCR would be the better choice. The Ruger sights and grip are big pluses. Having arrived at the point in my life where trying to make a sight picture with little bitty sights is annoying, having the ability to change out blades is worthy of consideration. We all get to some point in our lives where orange paint can’t make little bitty sights stand out anymore. That said, if I could still find a new 442/642 for around $400, I’d go with the Smith.
A excellent video on the S&W 442 38 2"barrel and the Ruger lcr 38 a lot of police carry the S&W 442 38 2"barrel much better than the Ruger lcr for a backup gun 💯👍
I love the 642/442. The trigger is far better IMO, once a spring kit is installed. The LCR short strokes easily. But the fact that in order to get a replaceable front site on S&W, you have to spend double the cost of the 642/442 is absolute bullshit. I’d take the lcr for this reason
Great comparison review. I also own both. I like the Ruger trigger more, I feel like the recoil is less and it's more comfortable to shoot with the oversize rubber grip. I also changed the sight to a HiViz fluorescent green. The 442 I changed the standard rubber boot grip to Altamont rubber boot with wood inserts. Bottom line, I am consistently more accurate with the 442. Go figure.
Excellent video, I carry the 442 with crimson trace laser grips on it, keep it stoked with underwood 125 grain xtp rounds, should work in a pinch I hope.
My Ruger is chambered in 327 federal magnum. It is a six shot revolver , the cartage and bullet pack a punch for a small package. I use this a lightweight backup to my regular carry weapon.
I literally thought there was gonna be a huge difference looking at how it fits in your hands when you shoot. There’s hardly any difference in size. Almost looks like the same gun. Love em both.
In real world shootouts, you would not be pulling the trigger slow enough to cause a false reset. Instead most shooters would be slapping the trigger without ever listening for a reset click….think about it. I have both revolvers and honestly they are both top notch quality revolvers…it really comes down to which you prefer ergonomically.
I've owned 2 LCRs in 38 and 3 J frames. (340, 642, 442) The 442 has stuck with me for 10+ years and will stay forever. The LCR rattle bugged me and the J frame is smaller and easier to conceal for me. I put the smallest possible Crimson Trace grips on it - for my older eyes it helps. I also have a laser on my main carry Glock. I think the LCR and J frames are both great, shrouded hammer, excellent back up, coat pocket or ankle revolver options. We are lucky to live in a time of great options!
triggers can be worked on ( or just keep pulling the trigger and it will smooth out that way), and either gun can have the grips changed. they have rubber grips for the 442 that covers the back and cushions recoil.
I would not carry a revolver without the ability to use a speed loader with it. You can change out those grips on the Ruger to a slightly thinner but longer one. I put some Hogue grips on my S&W 642 and it made the gun 100% better to shoot and to draw, and I can still use my speed loaders effectively with it. These small revolvers are great for daily carry, but with their low capacity, you need to be able to reload quickly and effectively with a speed loader just in case. Try some different grips with that Ruger it should really help out.
I have the LCR with Hogue grips and I use a Speed Bee loader. No problem! The speed loader the video maker is using may have too much material around the outer edge.
At 13:16 mins and again at 13:47 mins the Ruger most certainly did drop the hammer….the fire pin is clearly seen sticking out past the breech face after the trigger was pulled both times. It would have definitely fired off the round both times.
The 'false reset' of the LCR trigger is actually an internal safety feature; it's a smooth (and light) non-stacking trigger pull - so that it won't fire again until it's fully reset... That's a good thing. It's a technologically advanced trigger over that of a J-frame.
I found short stroking the Ruger trigger very disconcerting, but that’s probably b/c I’ve shot & carried a J Frame S&W since 1968. My EDC is a no lock 340PD, but the trigger is 12 + pounds on my scale. I’ve learned to shoot it that way so it hasn’t been a problem.
I have a Smith & Wesson Model 36...love it great gun, reliable. The only thing I can say is it's only accurate at close range, so I guess it's only good for as they say "close and dirty"
I have an older 3 inch Model 36. I have been needing a 2 inch Model. For the most concealable and most controllable J-frame, the original 36 is impossible to beat.
Edit : I just realized yours is not 22LR but perhaps still a meaningful question anyway... Is is normal for the LRC 22LR (no hammer spur) to have a large cylinder gap when firing ? I just purchased one and realized it later. When you pull the trigger it seems like the cylinder does not move forward to meet up with the barrel very much, even after pulling the trigger all the way through and holding it back so it doesn't reset there's alot of visible light therefore space between the cylinder and barrel. I appreciate your time spent in responding, thanks
It’s hard to say without having the measurements. You’ll want to hold the cylinder forward towards the forcing cone in the frame and use feeler gauges to get that measurement. I’d say .005” is ideal but something like .014” would be way too much. If the gap is too large, contact customer service to see if you can send the revolver in to have that corrected by the factory.
I know not all speedloaders work between J frames and the LCR. I wonder if that contributed to the speedloader not working. Also, great work working those triggers. Most reviewers jerk then.
I'm a proud owner of a S&W model 16-4, and a Ruger Sp101, I like both guns but I never do that you are doing!!! Compare a S&W to any gun "at least in revolvers" there's no match! Smith and Wesson revolvers are Kings of the revolvers world. I now is my personal opinion but is based in facts, in particular Smith and Wesson revolvers made before the year 2000! They are works of art, that I trust my life and my family, my S&W is my EDC for about 20 years now, and already save my life 2 times, so to me that's facts!
Glocks are toys, in the extremely rare situation where you need a firearm to save your life, you want simple easy and thrustworthy... nothing (multishot) simpler than a revolver!!"!"

Could the added weight loaded of the Smith be due to those after market wood grips?
Actually, when I had the stock grips on the 442 it weighed the same. Even the empty loaded spec sheets say that the LCR is a touch lighter.
I could never get used to that Ruger trigger and if you pocket carry, the Smith is the way to go IMO.
I know not all speedloaders work between J frames and the LCR. I wonder if that contributed to the speedloader not working.
Also, great work working those triggers. Most reviewers jerk then.
Considering these 2. I want a revolver to pocket carry. (I carry an LCP2, now) . Either of these fit in a pocket better than the other?
The Smith is slimmer and trimmer. In the pocket it is easier to carry without printing.
My s&w revolver broke after 26 shots, no return phone call after a month. I don't beleive or trust in s&w quality anymore.
Always like the triggers better on a S&W.... Although have many Ruger toys.. Be Well.
