IMhO the Ruger LCR is a very nice revolver it's just that I personally have a little trouble with it. I shot a friends .357 LCR with 158 grain .357 magnum ammunition and I just flat out won't do that again because it really hurts my hand. We fired some 125 grain .357 magnum rounds and I could be persuaded to shoot them again but not very many at one time (like maybe 10 rounds-two cylinders worth).

I still think it's a nifty little gun and very well made and I wouldn't be surprised at all if I bought one it's just that I'd want to use some tamer ammunition. I have not fired the .38 special version of it but I suspect I would be just as impressed with the fit/finish/handling points.
