My wife went with the 38 Spl LCR when she decided that she needed a little revolver. Her reasoning was the trigger was better than any of the others that she had tried. I had only shot the 357 LCR prior to that, and if I recall, my impressions were along the lines of playing catch with a MLB pitcher without a mitt.
Her 38 I think has the smaller of the two grips offered for the LCR, and as such, recoil isnt that different than the J frame with boot grips on it (as far as either of us have noticed), but the trigger is much smoother than any other little revolver that I have tried.
If anyone is in the market for a little 5 shooter for SD duty, the LCR is one that I would put on the short list to check out.
