Just for clarification for those who are new to guns and may not know, the Ruger LCP series are compact .380 semi autos, the more recent LCP II is made in 380 or .22.
The Ruger LCR is a small framed revolver made in a variety of calibers.
The LCR is a proven gun that is easy to operate and can serve many people very well. I see no reason it wouldn’t serve the OP as a carry gun well, too. Like any 2” revolver a fair amount of practice is needed to become proficient, especially with performing ammo reloads, so plan on working a bit to gain a level of confidence in your ability to draw, operate and load the gun... especially if you’re under stress.
I’m limited by my office to having only two off duty or back up guns so I don’t have a small frame revolver in my carry rotation, but I shoot the ones I own to maintain proficiency anyway. (In fact I took a new-to-me restored 3” J frame S&W 36-1 to the range last Friday
.)
Once one understands and accepts the limitations the 5-6 shot revolver has compared to a modern 10-12 shot subcompact semi (Hellcat, 365, Max9, Mossberg, Shield, etc) a 5 or 6 shot revolver is perfectly adequate for daily carry. Honetly, carrying almost any firearm is better than leaving a bigger or more capable gun in the console of your car because it’s too big or uncomfortable to tote.
If an LCR fits your want, wallet and waistline... I say go for it.
Stay safe.
