My LCR is stamped .38 +p right on the barrel. I do believe it will last a long, long time with +p loads. Eventually, any gun can be worn out.
The LCR is also available as a .357 magnum. Same cylinder and barrel, but the frame is steel instead of aluminum. So the basic design is very strong.
Not all +p ammunition is created equal. Service life with some of the boutique ammo makers may be shorter than service life with +p cartridges from the big 3. I doubt if I would fire more than once if they actually do break 1000 FPS from a 2" barrel. As Dirty Harry said, "A man has to know his limitations".
I have only fired a couple of boxes of +ps from my LCR, but I expect it to last a long time.
