I've been to the range every week for the last month or so. Which is probably more times than I've been to the range total in the last 5 years. By a lot.
Up until today, it's been full-size guns, including a couple of new ones. Today, it was the LCR. Totally different shooting experience. Not even +P ammo. I got through 15 rounds, was already starting to feel the pain. Switched to a full-size .45 and had a pleasant time shooting 100 rounds. Then back to the LCR for another 10.
By the last cylinder, I had developed a flinch. Not because of the "boom" or the flash. But because my hand was in pain, and every shot was more pain. My hand is still a little sore.
Is this something that gets better over time? If I take the LCR with me to the range every week for a few months, would I likely be able to get through a whole box without much trouble? Is there something I might be able to do technique-wise to lessen the felt recoil? (Most answers on a google search are more about setting up follow-up shots). Or is it pretty much "if you take the LCR, expect to do 10 shots and then put it away"?
