I have been looking at the 642LS for my wife but have read the trigger pull is very heavy. Is this version of the 642 recommended for women and is the trigger pull lighter? Thanks, Tom

Hi Tom and welcome. Trigger pull has been smoothed out but is still relatively heavy at around 10lbs. The Ruger LCR 38 Special has a smooth and light trigger pull of between 6 and 7lbs  : https://harrysholsters.com/ruger-lcr-review/  -------  Cheers and happy holidays!

My wife thought having a wheel gun would be easier for her being she hasn't much hand strength. That changed when we went to my local FFL and she tried several triggers & hammer pulls. Well, she wound up opting for the S&W M&P .380 Shield Ez.
In the end, for her, all were just not light enough. Now she's so glad she chose the Ez.

Any double action revolver will have a long heavy trigger pill My wife carries a taurus 856 it has a very good single action trigger pull https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/129117/taurus+856+38spl+2+6rd+matte+stainless+steel
