I carry my LCR daily most of the time in my pocket.

I carry my LCR occasionaly but usually go back to my light weight J-frame with the Apex kit. The LCR has a great trigger but has one flaw. When shooting rapid fire it is easy to not release the trigger all the way which short strokes the gun. The j-frame is more forgiving of rapid fire. Since I see these guns as up close and rapidly fired tools I get concerned about this problem.
One other issue has to do with the grips. I bought the small grip and the standard grip. The small is smoother and easier to draw from a pocket but affords little purchase for the hand. The standard grip handles and shoots great but sticks in my pocket when I draw. I can't find an after market grip like S&Ws little banana grip which would solve the problem. I didn't want a laser grip.
All in all I'm glad I bought it. I tried the S&W polymer revolver before buying and the trigger was so inferior I didn't consider it.

I have a Mika Pocket Holster made for my 442. The LCR fits perfectly in the Mika. Slides right out.
Trigger is better on the LCR. LCR also seems to dampen felt recoil.
I love my LCR.

If you are talking about the LCR in 38 special, then that is what I own. Expect lots of "drama" with +P rounds in it; loud report and muzzle flash and very tiring (not painful) recoil. Standard velocity 38 rounds are perfectly fine, however in that very light weight revolver. Trigger pull is good, and one can expect consistent hits at defensive distances. (20 ft. or less) In my personal experience, I would select the Ruger over the Smith J-frame revolvers due to better shooting comfort with the Ruger.

I'm assuming the revolver is a back up gun and the mag is for a primary semi-auto. Makes for an interesting pic though.

I like the 357 LCR. I never found the perfect holster for it but it is the most comfortable 357 I have ever carried. I have several holsters for it. Some I modified and one I had made. The best I found so far is Uncle Mikes Sidekick #12. You would think it a little undersized but works best for me. You can use it IWB or in front pocket if you tighten the clip by shaping it with a hair dryer so it will stay put when drawing. Truth is, the he little revolver will stay put IWB at 4 oc with the but forward, without a holster, if you have tight fitting jeans.
