I really like the trigger on the LCR - and I believe the .22 trigger is heavier than the .38/.357's. I frequently pocket my LCR because the factory grip and trigger feel just right. It won't win any beauty contests - but it'll keep on tickin' - and Ruger does a great job of supporting their handguns after sale ... should anything go wrong with it. I, too, will have to say Taurus is out of the question...
