I have a Ruger LCP, too. I actually carry the LCP more than the 642 due to size.
Added banglist keyword. That’ll bring them in.
Of course, some might argue pushing the thumb forward to release the cylinder is no different than having something press it forward as you are drawing it and suddenly, you are pointing a gun with an open cylinder. I doubt this scenario would happen though.
I have the LCR .357! Feels like a hammer smacks your wrist with the mags. ONLY practice with .38 or Special -P and use the mags for defense.

Check out the laser grip!
Being an “old dog” I’ll take a revolver over a pistol as a “lifesaver” any day !! You weigh your “carry” ammo and check it for fit, but sh*t still happens ! Having another round with a squeeze beats the hell out of “tap’n rack” IMO !! Point shoot it from where you got it, too ! >PS
John Connor ? in last months American handgunner gave it a very good review. Albeit he’s a gunug riter he’s pretty dead on when describing his experience with such. I don’t own nor have I handled one but its getting favorable reviews per my reads in gun rags.
BTW...Stay away from stapler guns.....

Is there anything in particular that you dislike about the LCP?
Just curious. Maybe you’re one of those gun nuts just looking for an excuse to buy another gun? /s
I have an airweight SW 38 hammerless.
Very slick and small.
Not exactly target practice material. If it shoots it will work and last forever.
Smith 442 and LCR are both good but go with what fits your hand the best.
I carry a 442, so does my better half. Put a spring kit in mine and the trigger is great.
The stock grip on the 442 is easy to pull, conceals well.
If this were a gun forum, there would've been such a recommendation within the first 5 posts.
I have a ruger sp101 in .357. It works but has quite a bit of kick with the .357 mags in it. The .38s aren’t so bad.
If you don’t kill them with the bullet the noise certainly will.
I have handled one and it seemed of good quality with a surprisingly good trigger pull.
Keltec makes a small easily concealed semi-auto in .32 and .38. I have the .32 which isn’t fun to shoot but has never malfunctioned. Weighs 7 oz without ammo so its incredibly light.
Got the LCP for my daughter and she still has it, although doesn’t like it much. Got the LCR for my wife and ended up trading it. She didn’t like the kick and neither did I. Both guns are too small for my hands and kick too much to hold for a followup accurate shot. If someone has a grip on you, you can empty them both in the attacker’s midsection without too much trouble, though.
Other posters mentioned that the .357 version kicks like a mule - I think the same thing about both the LCR and the LCP shooting 38’s. Even tried cowboy loads and still didn’t like the kick. Looking for something with a little more mass for a carry weapon.
