I don't mind the recoil, but i don't shoot +p in either my 38spl, or the 9mm. I wrap my weak hand thumb behind the grip, where the exposed hammer would be if it had one. I'm more accurate with them than a glock 19, or a kahr cm9. The downside is only 5 shots. but with the 9mm, you can easily carry small moonclips with extra shells, & it reloads very fast.The problem I have with the LCR...it isn't comfortable to shoot, the trigger well bites my finger when I shoot.....or the trigger does......but it is small and light and reliable....
CC is always a compromise.. firepower, capacity, size, weight, accuracy.. its hard to fine the best of all. I got a sccy semi auto 9 in 11+1.. not much bigger than the lcr, but more than double the capacity. For not a lot bigger, i have an ati fatboy, a compact 1911 with 12+1 in 45acp. I can have a para 14round mag as a companion & get lots of rounds.
But in most self defense situation, 5 rounds is sufficient. Just being armed is deterrence enough for most.
