Just purchased an LCR 357, thought I would go with the 357 because of the versitility of shooting 38 Specials in it if needed. Let me start by saying shooting the 357 Mag in the LCR with 158gr bullets is not for the faint of heart it make noise and has a very sharp recoil. Right now most of my CC is with a LCP carried in the pocket, love that little pistol, but the problem with it is its little. Now in comes the LCR 357, my new CCW, is light and small enough for pocket carry which in like and I am now able to put a bigger bullet at a higher velocity on target with a easy to pocket carry light weight platform. The LCR 357 might not be for everyone but for me I have found the CCW I have been looking for. So far 375 round have been shoot in it, both 357 and 38 Spec, with no problems.
 
I carry my LCR357 every day. Most of my shooting has been done with 125G. JHP 357 ammo.
 
Just bought the LCR357 a few weeks ago. It's my #1 carry piece. I replaced the front sight with an XS sight and like it even more. Good luck with it.
 
Great gun, I have one too. Have you tried Speer Gold Dot "Short Barrel" 135gr HP? That is what my LGS recommended and the recoil is very manageable. That's my carry ammo for my LCR. I also painted my front sight with some white paint + clear nail polish to seal it, so that I could see the front sight better. Enjoy your LCR!
 
I have one too, wife has the .38 version and shoots the heck out of it. I also use the LCP and in fact that is what I usually take everywhere I go. If going to the mountains for a hike I'm takin the LCR.

I bought the 357 LCR a few weeks ago and am loving it. I put an XS front sight on and love it even more. You made a wise choice. As a FYI some people said the gun will shoot low with the XS sight...not mine. Same poi as before.
