i have the lcr 22lr and love shooting it. its super accurate up close and at 70+ yards. and from this video it looks like the lcr 22 mag has about the same recoil and accuracy as the 22lr version, the lcr 38 on the other hand has way more recoil and seems like it would be difficult to hit someone while you are under fire.

just look at him shooting all 3. the lcr 38spl does not make sense in a little gun imo. still not 100% sure which one i'll get though.
does anyone really think if you don't stop someone's attack with a chest shot from a .22 mag that a .38spl+p will? but i do believe i have a better chance to make a head shot with the lcr 22 mag than the lcr 38spl.
