Bruddah Stang... kinda unrelated, but if you had your choice of a .38, would you go with the LCR, LCRx, 637, 638, or 642?

for pocket carry the LCRx would probably be my last choice, just bc of the hammer.
i like it bc of the hammer being here in hawaii we can't conceal carry anyways.
i thought it would be better to shoot at the range in single action.

I've only shot the LCR, so I cant really give a fair comparison.
plus I'm a Ruger fan, so I'm biased.   ;D

but I've searched for reviews comparing the both and even on the S&W forum some users prefer the Ruger for the smooth trigger

i was hesitant at first in getting a DAO revolver, but the LCR's trigger is pleasantly pretty good for DAO.

if I had to make a decision rite now for 1 gun from the above choices with the possibility of CCW, it would be the LCR
