Both are good American guns....the Utica SW tends to be much heavier than the pre 1930 SW's....both are well made and would serve you well.......

Both being 12 gauge, the Utica SW & LCS have 2.75" chambers.....I would go with condition and which one handles best for you.........in your opinion............

I shoot both Philadelphia Fox's & pre Marlin LCS's and prefer the original Fox Philadelphia guns over the Utica built guns for quality and weight ......
