YU - Benefits of hammered version are that one can easily use a thumb to pull back the hammer to fire single action. Can't do that with a hammerless action. For carry purposes, in a defensive situation, one is very very unlikely to take the time to pull back the hammer. In a situation where every second matters, the first objective is to make the shot and make it count. Therefore defensive situation would be, 99% of the time, double action - and that is how one should practice with this revolver. Shoot it in double action at the range so you are accustomed to the trigger pull, the motions of shooting, and develop the habit of just shooting it double action without having to fumble around looking for a hammer to pull back. I carried a small revolver for years and preferred the hammerless version, to avoid any possible hang up of the hammer on clothing or other gear. Trigger pull single action is 6 lb for the LCR.

YU Z, the "Hammerless" version has less chance of getting hung up when drawing due to the smooth contours. Trigger pull single action is 6 lb for the LCR and 10.5lb for Double Action.
