Nice write up.
I too, prefer the J-frame. Perhaps it is just that I have owned and shot them for so long. I'm lucky in that the Smiths seem to naturally fit my hand and "point" well for me. The LCR is a great, snub choice for many. There is nothing wrong with owning both.
As to ankle carry? I've found the one holster that just "works" for me. The older school Desantis model 044. I never liked the way the newer Neoprene ones felt. Too much movement on my leg. The 044 uses a D-ring that really locks in the gun. I finally bought a replacement after nearly 20 years of use (the velcro was losing some strength). I kept the original and may try to replace that velcro. It actually works "ok" still, so I may just keep it as is. BTW, the one holster fits all three of my J-frames. My 640 (no dash), my 638 and my 642. Love my Desantis.
