I have LCR's in 9mm. .38 spl, .327 and .22.
I keep the .22 in my grab & go range bag so it, and along with my pocketed .38 get shot every week.
I completely agree the .22 trigger is heavy, too heavy for a child and was too heavy for my wife (RIP), but the .22 trigger is very, very smooth. The POA vs POI is low with the recommended XS sights I have on it. I tend to run 25-30 rounds on .22 through it the first thing each range session. I feel it helps with my trigger control on any other guns I'm shooting (Usually my .38 LCR and Glock).
Like I mentioned, the trigger on the .22 is HEAVY, but smooth and that little revolver is reliable to a fault. It has set off every piece of bulk and premium .22 LR I put into it.
I would love to see one with a 3-4 inch barrel and adjustable sights in the same size envelope...Red Dot capable too. Not a bigger bulked up frame. It could serve as a great "Kit Gun" in that format.
I am shooting my .327 (.32 S&WL and .32 H&R Mag) more frequently as I've allocated components and energy into loading them, but more especially since @Lost River starting producing a .32 H&R mag load I can now carry for SD. But I would really appreciate Ruger making a .32 H&R mag version with a 3 inch barrel on the lighter weight frame... RD capable would be a plus.
You wouldn't think the 4 or so ounces weight difference would be so noticeable in a pocket, but it is.
I keep sticking my .38 (Hamre Forge grips) in my waistband or A Holster...
FWIW my centerfire LCR's all set off my $49.00/1000 SA (Servicios y Aventuras) primers with 100% reliability. Thumbs up to Ruger for that!
