The good news is that I happened to really like the Ruger LCR's trigger. The sights are bad (only the 640 PRO had decent sights out of all these revolvers) but it is shootable. I got it in 9x19mm for ammo compatibility. The 9mm round performs between 38 Special and 357 Magnum. It is still a compromise on terminal ballistics, but Speer Gold Dot 124 grain JHP penetrates 18" of test media without expansion. The flat face yielded a straight wound channel.

The LCR trigger out of the box IS really nice, (like a J AFTER disassembly, tuning and reassembly) AND you can get a decent front sight, several are available, just need a punch. I just wonder if the polymer parts will be 'good to go' 100 years from now (I have a 105 year old .32 S&W Hand Ejector that is ready for another 105 years.)
