I love my 357 LCR. It's my carry pistol - accurate at SD ranges, easy carry and light - never have I had a problem or issue with mine. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.

I like my LCR 38 and it's my daily carry. Sure it can be a little painfull to run 100 rounds through but do you think that will matter when you pull it out to save your life? I'm pretty accurate with it. I've practiced shooting it fast and have no problem avoiding short strokes. Had my friend who isn't a gun guy shoot it and he had no issues. My mom had a S&W featherweight of some kind and wasn't very happy with it. Neither of us could shoot it well. She tried my LCR and we went to the gun shop to trade in hers for an LCR. The gun is good but you really need to try them to see what is best for you.
I have both........LCR's
I first bought the .38 special LCR. And when the .357's became available I got one of those too. I use the .38 for pocket carry. And, I like the .357 in the same strong-side pancake holster I use for my SP101.
The .357 LCR is a lot snappier than the .38 special. I'll keep them both though.

I really like my .38 Spec LCR. I sold my 642 after dry firing one in a LGS a couple years back. The smooth trigger action sold me on it.
I did have some QC issues with my first LCR, but Ruger took it back and sent me a new gun. I went straight to the range (live close by) and tested it. Perfect. Since then, I shoot it a couple times a month, and it continues to be one of my favorite and trusted carry guns.

To me they are one of the most ugly revolvers in production except maybe the Rhino. BUT. . . .I recently got to shoot a friends and I was quite impressed with the function. I think they trigger pull might be just a touch better than my Smith 637. Maybe it's just the grip on the LCR that enables me to shoot it more accurately. I don't care for the button cylinder latch. I much prefer Smith and Wessons.
If you don't care at all about looks then the LCR would make a great little CC piece. I'll stick with my 637 though.
