I have shot my brothers LCR in 357 mag. We would randomly insert 38 and 357 spin the cylinder and hand it to the other to shoot. Personally other than a lot more noise, the felt recoil was not all that much different. I guess I am no too recoil sensitive.

I would like to hear people’s experience that have shot both 357 and 327 mag from an LCR and tell me the felt recoil difference. I have read that the 327 mag is noticeably less. In which case having a 6th round with more power than 38+P would seem to be pretty ideal. But availability and cost of 327 mag could be an issue.
