I posted the following in 2013 about my experience firing the .357 Ruger LCR.

I found factory 158 grain .357 unpleasant (as in I'm not going to shoot it) in the LCR. The factory 125 grain .357 was a handful but I will shoot it, just not too much at one time.

While the .357 loads are probably beyond my comfort level (read I'm not going to shoot them-I've called the LCR a 'vicious little gun' in the past) you might be okay with them.
The LCR I handled looked well-made and certainly is concealable and of course you could just fire .38 Specials in the gun instead of .357 loads. That Ruger is still making and selling it speaks well for its acceptance among shooters.
For me and the LCR I think the Dirty Harry quote is applicable 'A man has to know his limitations.'
