I am considering an LCR as a ccw pocket gun. The light weight and size is a major factor in my decision. Anyone have the .38 or .357 version and care to chime in with their likes/dislikes? I had read some gripes about gas cutting on the .38 versions backstrap due to the aluminum frame. The .357 version has a steel frame and supposedly no such issues. But with the low round count this gun would see I don't even think it would be a factor.
Anyone have any holster suggestions as well if I take the plunge. Thanks, Mike |

I bought the .357 a couple of weeks ago. I find it much more enjoyable to shoot than a J-Frame. The trigger is great. I couldn't believe how easy it was to shoot with .38's and .357's really aren't that bad either.
About the only thing I can pocket carry it in is cargo shorts. I love the gun and would never recommend a J-Frame to anyone after owning one. |

Love mine. Have a Smith 360 M&P that I will likely sell now.
The LCR shoots great, is very accurate for a 1 7/8 barrel, the grips that come on the gun are awesome, I shot 100 rounds of full house 125 gr JHP .357s the other day, though may hand was a bit worn out, I could never even get though 3 or 4 cylinders on the smith do to the pain involved. The trigger pull is sweet for a factory gun. It is my new favorite carry piece. |
