I have an LCR in 357 mag. It's light so not as controllable as my SP101 but it's certainly shootable and is not like shooting a light Smith. Not the fastest recovery time but you can get some pretty fast shots off once you get used to pulling the trigger everytime the front sight comes back on target. The flexable frame and the smooth trigger makes a big difference IMO. I like mine and carry 357's in the open. +P's in the house.
