Interesting that the 140 XPB Federal branded ammunition came out that slow. Buffalo Bore makes a low-flash short barrel XPB .357 using the same bullet that pushed over 1150 consistently in an SP101. I'd wager that Buffalo Bore's short barrel round can match the Federal round in your KLCR in terms of velocity but we'd have to test it to be sure. Of course recoil in the LCR, accuracy, and followup shots may be more important considerations than speed.
My own experience has been that hot loads in a lightweight .357 may not be the most appropriate round for the purpose of self defense.
