I decided to carry both today (the LCR as BUG). I hope to make it to the range this weekend, if I can find some amo. I own a few other double action 357, but just one box of 38 sp. left in the safe.

38 has been fairly available, i was in Dallas last week and saw it several places.

To the OP:
The only time I could see carrying a new gun w/o range time would have been my first gun, on the way to the range from the store. Surely you can hit an indoor range going to/from work, evening or on a lunch break?

Lots of shooting stats don't support this claim. There have been many LEO's (who presumably train to fight and shoot) that have missed at arm's length in a fight... assumptions can be dangerous, I hope you can convince her to train in case she ever has to deploy her weapon.

the "pencil test" to test if the gun will fire is very sage advice.

I second this and do it when I reassemble my carry guns after cleaning.
