Yes , the Ruger LCR is rated for +Pbnc wrote:The S&W is also rated for +P, not sure if the LCR is (or if I would want to use that ammo anyways)
Either way you go, I would recommend using +P as your carry ammo and regular .38 as your practice ammo with some +P thrown in once and a while to be familiar with the difference.
Shooting a snubby will take some practice to get proficient with trigger control and using the sights.
IMO, Snubs are a very practical self defense gun due to the ease of carry and the reliability factor.
I carry a Smith 642 in my pocket daily. I prefer it over the LCR only because I like metal guns.
