I sold my LCR in 38 for the 357 version when they first were released. The 357 adds a few more ounces although I did not notice much of a difference in the weight. I am not personally a fan of pocket carry and prefer a tuckable IWB holster, which I use on a daily basis. The big difference was time between shots as the muzzle flip on the 357 loads take much longer to come back on target for me. I carry it with the first 3 chambers holding 38 +p and the last 2 with 357 in case they are ever needed. I added the CT grips from my 38 model as well as a Hi Vis front sight, the Hi Vis made a world of difference for both accuracy and getting the sights on target very quickly. The Hi Vis was fairly easy to install for those who may be interested in one, the cost is around $35.00 or so. IMO opinion the LCR is a fine revolver to carry wiothout breaking the bank and the trigger is the best of any of the revolvers in this market and would be a fine addition to everybody's carry rotation.
