for a good way to carry my LCR 357, I've looked online at something like this http://www.tuckergunleather.com/revolver-pancake-holster/ . But without actually trying one on, it's hard to figure what I would like best. My wife has it easy, her gun and holster fit in her purse (though now she wants a 380 for her smaller purses). I wear cargo pants and t-shirts a lot. I would like something that would go into my top pocket and not stand out.

How do you guys carry your revolvers?
 
I live in the hot & humid southeast, & I pocket carry mostly. I use Desantis, Remora, and Blackhawk pocket holsters. The Remora is the stickiest material with the Desantis a close second in sticky (they stay in the pocket better during draw). I added some stitching to the Blackhawk so it fits my S&W 642 tighter.

Of the 3, I like the Desantis best for pocket carry. Kinda sticky with a shape that will hook in my pocket during the draw.

The Remora is so sticky that it works for IWB even though it has no belt clip, but I have to wear a belt to keep the waistband snug.

The Blackhawk is an inexpensive extra to have on hand - it usually stays with the Charter Undercover.

I live in the Midwest (St. Louis area) where it gets quite warm and humid during the summer months, and light clothes are a must. I have a 637 I just got for EDC. When not in its DeSantis SOF-TUCK IWB, I carry it in a fanny pack. Found one on Amazon for about $60 that is soft leather, has a double zipper at the back, and two generous elastic strips inside to hold it left or right. My wife is using a belly band with light clothing, and I've been considering one of those as well. Your LCR would ride well in either of those options.

+1. I have the Blackhawk and the Remora. My Remora is the size for smaller big autos; I carry both my PT145 and S&W Bodyguard 38 in it-I find it a bit big for pockets, but it is a great IWB for both. The Blackhawk is the 'grab the 38 and throw it in a pocket' holster. Also have the DeSantis SofTuck for both guns, so I'm with both of you.
 
I like the DeSantis Nemesis for pocket carry with my S&W Model 638 and their Pocket-Tuck for an IWB holster.
 
Thanks for the suggestions, just need to buy an xxl t-shirt that covers over my pocket and I'll be good.
 
i live in central florida, needless to say it's hot and humid, all the time. when i carry a .38, my holster is my pocket, i count on regular oiling to keep my gun from rusting.
