I have both LCR's, a .38 special I bought last year when they first came out and a .357 magnum I bought a couple months later.
I carry the .38 special as a pocket gun, when I need one. It's light & handy. I keep it loaded with 110 gr. LHJHP's. It's not too bad with those. I think they are stout enough to do the job, up close, as a "get off me" gun.

I use .357 magnum 110 gr. LHJHP's in the .357 magnum LCR. It is definitely snappier than the .38 special. I carry it every day in an OSWB high ride pancake holster. I have confidence in it to do the job.
I had carried a Ruger SP101 as EDC, for 8+ years, in that same holster, loaded with Silvertips or Golden Sabres.
The LCR is just so much lighter......Takes some getting use to though with the snappier recoil.
