I am a fan of the 32s. But the recoil of 32 H&R in a LCR is no joke either. Might consider a sp101 in 38 with 38 wadcutters. Recoil is next to nothing. Or you could try a metal frame smith. You get extra weight, but it helps with recoil. You can go up to hotter ammo if need be.

The expert at anything was once a beginner.
