Guys,
Have a Ruger SP101 that's a great gun, but a little heavy to carry. Was considering the LCR in 357 mag (although I'll probably load it with 38Special +P for my defensive round).
Those of you who own it-your opinions? Are standard grips it comes with adequate in providing you with a comfortable, stable hold? (In my experience if my pinky of my shooting hand isn't supported by the grip I can't shoot accurately-changed the 101 grips to Uncle Mike's to give me a little more length and pinky support-note- I do shoot two handed).
How about perceived recoil? I know a steel framed gun dampens recoil better than polymer, but I'm interested in knowing whether the LCR is comfortable to shoot, as I will put hundreds of rounds (+P and occasionally 357) through it to get comfortable with the gun. Can you shoot 100 rounds at the range and not feel like your hand is going to catch fire or fall off?
Thanks in advance for the help, and feel free to offer other revolver alternatives to the Ruger if you'd like.
