Great report. I have the same gun and my experiences are similar. A good up-close and personal gun for SD. I found that Hornady Critical Defense 38spl 110gr, (not +P) gives me the best compromise between the recoil and a competent defensive round. The higher weight rounds are difficult to maintain good accuracy beyond 15ft. but the gun is accurate at that range. I bought it for CC and really only expect to use it at close range if ever. I have other guns for target practice, the LCR wears me out after 25-30 rounds without some rest in between firings.
