My only bitch about the 22lr LCR is that it’s not the easiest thing in the world to hit small targets with. Trying to head shoot a grouse can be a challenge. At least for me.
Thank god they are either stupid or patient enough to hold still for 2 or 3 shots. Maybe even 5 or 6 😁
Have you tried the 3" version? No. I need to get one. A 327 FM would be sweet with 32 longs for general assing around. Yes it is, as is the SP101 4 inch in 327, or the Single Seven, although the SA is a bit heavier. But I do not purchase 32 long or 32 mag for low velocity ammo. I roll my own in 327 brass. If you handload it is pretty easy to duplicate 32 long or 32 H&R mag with 78 gr Lasercast, or 85 gr HP jacketed in 327 brass. They work great for grouse, bunnies, or squirrels. I am also making very effective snake loads with Titegroup, #12 shot. and a couple gas checks to keep everything in place. If traveling into an area infested with predators, instead of small game. Each revolver is quite capable when stoked with powder coated 120 gr cast over a max load of H110.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

I like carrying my S&W M-63, 5” stainless 22 or my S&W M-60, 5” 357 depending on where I’m going. Sometimes I’ll carry my M-60, 3” 357..it’s hard to beat and I shoot it really well.

My options are S&W 63, Ruger SR22, or if I think I need/want more gun, my Ruger SP101 3” .357.
More often than not, its my SR22 that makes the trip.
If it’s people I’m concerned about, I’ll probably carry my Taurus 709 slim 9mm.
A “no print” Taurus 738 in .380 carries well in a cargo pocket in shorts.

Owned a bunch of S&W Kit Guns over the years, seems like a had a penchant for selling them too. My son has a couple of M34’s he bought last year, box etc. both unfired. As much as I like them (first handgun was a M34 in ‘71), I tried a lot of alternatives: Walther TPH, PPK/S, Ruger Bearcat, Ruger Standard, Ruger SP-101 with the half lug, and a few M60’s.....
The Glock G44 has won me over.
It’s fun to shoot, very light, good sights, easy to clean, and great for a lefty....

A M34-2. Damn 'dillers... last one I clobbered was with a 94 Winchester. 30-30 settles their hash.

Newest rimfire is a Kimber .22 upper that mated nicely to the old Kimber frame. A beauty of a tackdriver. Fun little gun. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/4aWn8uW.jpg) Older Colt with some of my Grandfather's handmade lures. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/MTWEzdA.jpg) And the old no dash 4" 63. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/0VVgBJP.jpg)

I have a nickel 34-1 square butt 2” like your 63.
The .32 is a sleeper, I remember seeing the initial dealer flyer on those back when they were introduced, but never ordered one. IIRC, it is a round butt?
