    What grip is on the LCR?

    Strangely enough, my Crimson Trace grips treat me better than the factory LCR Hogue grip.

    Unless you're a recoil sensitive person, I'd give either CT Grips, or even a different boot grip a try. Disclaimer though, I'm not recoil sensitive. I've only shot one or two guns that I felt were painful. One was a CZ82 with a worn out barrel spring, the other was a Ruger 454 Alaskan that I shot on a 20°F day. YMMV but I felt the factory Hogue grips seemed to transmit more sensation of recoil (not at all painful, just more "feel") than the bootgrip shaped CT grips.

    I have not shot the 357 LCR though. I have shot the Smith n Wesson scandium framed .357 340PD with full power loads and while it's stout, I didn't feel it painful. That gun also had CT grips.

    I've got the Hogue bantam/boot grips. Hogue-LCR-Bantam_Boot-Grip-Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. It wasn't painful to shoot (although it probably would have been eventually). I just wasn't as accurate as I would have liked. Since I was consistently high and to the right, I know I could adjust with practice. I really want to adjust to these grips because the original grips are too bulky and sticky. It will be a lot easier to carry this way.

    Dans still kicking I heard from him a couple weeks ago, it was just a Merry Christmas text, but haven't heard much from him otherwise. With the risk of sounding corny, I miss him.

    Those are the right grips for the gun IMO.

    When I first started shooting it I was shooting high. Found I needed to almost completely bury the front sight under the rear, not keep them parallel.

    After a couple hundred rounds I finally got the hang of shooting it. I do prefer revolvers, but the LCR is different enough that there was a significant learning curve
