Therefore, I can’t really discount either gun they are both excellent, or capable of excellence, with the trigger. After 20 minutes of work to replace these two springs with lighter powered after-market Wolff springs my SP101 trigger weighs less than the LCR. ![]() However, and this a big however, with a simple replacement main spring and trigger return spring it can be improved to excellence. Out of the box, the SP101 trigger is total shit. Though longer and heavier than a striker-fired trigger, the LCR is a smooth press all the way through, and it lends itself well to decent accuracy. I think that the LCR proves to have a great revolver trigger for someone like myself, who is predominantly a pistol shooter. I find that it is very good for a double-action only revolver, and it tends not to stack as they usually do. Out of the box, the LCR has what might be the best factory trigger of any small revolver. Therefore, do you want to shoot it a lot, or do you want the easiest carrying revolver? That would be the first big decision between these two snubs. Obviously, the LCR carries much more conveniently since it is so scanty in weight. The weight makes a huge difference in terms of shooting: the LCR is a chore to shoot, even with regular pressure 38 specials. Weighing in at 26 ounces, it is literally twice the weight of my 38+P LCR. The most obvious different between these two Rugers is that the SP101 is all stainless steel in construction, and it is a beast for its size. However, it is still very small and concealable. ![]() The SP101 handles and shoots significantly better than either for most people, no doubt due to the increased size and weight. Both guns are quite small, the SP101 being slightly larger than the LCR or the well-known Smith and Wesson J Frame. The two small revolvers that I have put to use for this is the versatile LCR and the venerable SP101. Since I live according to reality, I occasionally need deep concealment, and I have found that only the small-frame revolver can provide decent power, yet disappear in almost any dress. I am outspoken in my love for small-frame revolvers, even though I am not necessarily a revolver “enthusiast.” What I mean is, I would never carry a revolver over a double-stack auto loader if not restricted due to dress or circumstance.
