Regarding the LCR, I don't know how much they weigh but bought my wife a Pink Lady a couple of years ago and at 12 oz. it's a handful with standard .38 Specials loaded with 158 gr. SWC'S. I wound up casting some 150 gr. SWCHP's and loading them to around 800 fps or a bit more. Still quite a handful but we finally realized that a death grip with the last two fingers makes the little monster much more controllable.
