I did read your post. You said that getting the LCR in .357 mag gives one the option of shooting .38s and .357 mags. That is true. But an LCR in .357 mag is still an LCR (Light Compact Revolver), and shooting .357 mags in it is a snappy proposition, and the ballistics of a .357 mag in such a short barrel really are not much different from a .38+P. My point was, everything being relatively equal, why would anyone opt for the pain of shooting .357 mags in an LCR, and risk follow-up acquisition of the target, as well? It just doesn’t make that much sense to me. I have LCR in .38+P (which is a very good platform) and .357 mags in other handguns, none of which are lightweight polymer.
Agree. My point was; if one, especially a small person should want to shoot P+ rounds then a 357 frame would be more suitable due to its additional weight. And, I made the point that a 357 offers more choices “if” wanted, that’s all.
