After DB followed my lead in going to the 327 LCR, he told me he also did a ton of dry and live fire pulls before carrying it, and I think he said he only short stroked once very, very early on, and none since.
2) 22LR snubs - I get the appeal, but I can't do it myself. Partially because I am not convinced the round will do what I need it to do consistently, but mostly because the trigger pull is ALWAYS so heavy with them to ensure of ignition. I really tried to get into the 351, but the pull just killed it. One of the reasons I gravitated so quickly to the LCR was that out of the box the pull was decent, and it has only gotten more smooth over the last three years. My wife with her badly arthritic hands can easily shoot the LCR, but cannot go any heavier.
3) hand in pocket on snub - this is a great feature for pocket carry, and can be a great technique. HOWEVER, the user has to have a much higher level of awareness and understanding how to gain positional advantage without looking like you are gettign ready to fight. It is far easier than most people think for someone to get too close to you and having one hand in the pocket and out of a contact fight is a bad idea. I have seen this play out over literally multiple thousands of FoF scenarios and in real life videos.
