[QUOTE="Engineman1960, post: 3701677, member: 9220"] The trigger press on the LCR .38 spl. and the .22lr ( I have both) is very different. The .22lr is extremely heavy, Where the LCR .38 and 9MM trigger press is quite pleasant. Firing a full defensive load in a light firearm like the LCR can be challenging for a novice shooter even an experienced shooter. I would try shooting the LCR .22lr before buying -- according to the Ruger LCR instruction manual ( page 15) the LCR can be dry fired without damaging the firearm ( most .22lr revolvers warn not to dry fire). If this is your choice it gives you opportunity to develop a muscle memory for the trigger. The LCRX with a exposed hammer might be a choice, with both double action and single action available. According to the catalog the LCRX is only available in .22lr with the 3 inch barrel ( This version is one of my favorites) the tamer grips that come with the 3” version seem narrower ( no finger grips) then the standard grips that come on the LCR, a bantam boot grip is also available ( I would try before you buy).

This is also an excellent firearm, "J “ frame .22lr with a hammer, extremely hard to come by. Good luck on your quest for a firearm for your Mom !!!!!! [/QUOTE]
