I was ABLE to hold both a LCR in 38+P (With CTs) and a stock gripped LCR in .357 Magnum.
The .357 is reportedly only 3-4 ounces heavier but it seemed a bit beefier in most areas than the 38+P.
Myself,, having owned some 6 Ruger SP-101s over the years.
The reason that I don't carry a SP-101, is the fact that they are too heavy for me.
Ruger's .357 LCR felt like a very black and very light SP-101.
I like the LCR 38+P a bit more because it is so light and wonderfully smooth.
DAO in the LCR seems far superior to the SP.
However, back to the .357 version of the LCR.
A bigger gun that's marginally heavier but will also weigh even more with Magnum rounds aboard, crosses it off my list.
Until SP-101 fans can get the long rumored aluminum framed SP.
The .357 LCR should suffice for those people/situations that demand Magnum power in a light package.
