I happen to like the snub 38 lcr a lot. In my hands it is much better than a belly gun! I am not that great but typical 10 or 15 yard targets had better duck and cover behind some actual cover lol.
The gun can shoot better than you, me, or pretty much anyone else can hold I figure. 135 Gold dots do very well out of our lcr, as in the shooter is the limiting factor. There is a bit of a learning curve though. The revolver is small and the grip is smallish but it can be changed if you need. The trigger is very different than a semi if that is what you are used to. As far as most similar revolvers go, that lcr of yours has an excellent trigger and you will be hard pressed to beat it.
That said, it took both my girlfriend and myself a long time to be decent with the lcr. The snappy recoil and short sights make it very easy to mess up! She had a hard time getting used to the trigger, but afterward no issues. She usually shoots a medium glock, so I figure thats part of that issue.
Are you finding the rollover point right before it fires? That helped a lot for both of us.
I did put an XS dot on for a front sight. I confess that helped a lot for me as I really do not see that well. Nothing else really needed changed really. All that said, shoot it. A lot. Use reduced loads if you can. I fully believe that is what allowed both of us to get good and be confident with the LCR. We both shot lots of cast plinkers and low powered stuff.
