No more aim for the right shoulder to hit center of mass.
My thumb knuckle doesn't get cut by the cylinder release latch anymore. Empties extract more easily than a J, sometimes they all fall out without even hitting the rod. Felt recoil is less than the J frames when both have the boot grips due to the cushion in the LCR boot grip.
On mine, the little screw holding in the cylinder release latch would come loose but I have lock tighted it now.
I like the XS sights for their tritium and visibility but the flip side to them is the round/square shape mismatch makes it harder to obtain a consistently accurate sight picture at longer distances though I have fired a 3.5" 5 shot group offhand @25yds with the Speer 135gr+P load which is better than I could ever do with my J.
Speed strips and HKS 36 speedloaders work for them. Most holster manufs have models for the LCR now.
I have a Nemesis pocket holster, High Noon Split Decision and Don Hume JIT for it.
