IMHO, the 147 9mm has less recoil. Now if we want to talk about 124 +P 9mm in the LCR, well lets just say it wasn't nice.
I would imagine 38+P in a 357 LCR would be fairly tame do to the weight difference.
Most say 9 mm revolvers recoil somewhere between 38+ P and 357.
The 9 is on the steel magnum frame so I think it would be pretty equal. The .38 is 13.5oz, the magnum is 17.1 and the 9 is 17.2.
Occam's Razor?
Duces

That’s what I did with mine on the LCR38 and 22. They’re rigid but I really like the design and indexing. Have a hookless set on order as well.
Nothing beats the OEM Hogues for range sessions, but I like the Hamre grips very much.
I did try black hockey tape over factory rubber, it did help a bit I think.
LCR left in Dark Star Gear, my P365X in JM CK 2.5 at right.
From conversations with the owner Hamre grips are made from "It's a pretty darn high grade nylon, with impregnated carbon fiber. It's made with heat on the higher end of what people are able to do, and we use zero cooling, so it all locks in REALLY nicely."
They're going to be offering reproductions of desirable, out of production stocks, and will have the ability to modify them to fit different firearms in combinations that previously weren't offered (IE - Spiegel J frame grips on an LCR).
I have a set on my .22lr and will be messing around with seeing what the targets/timers tell me before experimenting with them on my .38spl to be honest.
Yeah I saw they had an array of wood stocks to work with. Thanks for the info, I assumed they were G10.
Good discussion on HF grips on the Ruger LCR? thread starting on page 88, too.
Originals were printed… but they’re upping their game significantly with a new powder bed. Keep an eye 👁️ on their IG for some of their brilliance coming to market.
Ryan & his son are Uber creative and with all those other designs to pick and choose elements from, there will definitely indeed be something that tickles the fancy of revolver nerds innumerable.
