Holy cow is that thing sweet!  Ultra light weight and the trigger is very nice for a factory DAO.  We put 50 rounds through it (.38 special) so we didn't get to test +p recoil.  I thought the factory grip was nice as well.  Sweet little gun.

OK - my MIL wants one - bad hands and all, so how accurate is it from what distance?

From my experience it was on par with my SP101.  At 7 yards I put 4 out of five in the red circle.  I must admit that the front sight on it is something I would change to a XS Big Dot or the like.  My wife was hitting 3/5 in the red circle but she does not shoot as much as I do.

That's better than I suspected.

I'll post a range report when I get mine in a week from now.

There are a lot of YouTube videos showing nice very nice shooting out of these LCRs.  

Mine will eventually be wearing a Big Dot though.

I would suggest having your MIL with bad hands try this gun before buying.  The recoil is fairly sharp in a pistol this light even with .38 special.  It's very manageable with the Hogue grips, but it might be painful for somebody with "bad hands".  Accuracy is very impressive, if I do my part I can place all five shots within a few inches of each other at  7 yards... the wonderful trigger no doubt helps in this.

i just got mine.. and due to everyplace being sold out of ammo all i've shot is +p self defense ammo (hornady critical defense 110gr. FTX and winchester bonded 130gr. PDX1)

at 7 yards, after I stopped flinching i was getting 4/5 in the red. holy moley what a lot of kick though! can't wait to see how the gun acts with standard .38.. love it so far though (:

loaded, in my front pocket holster you kind of forget the gun is even there (so light!).

I would agree with this as well.  The light weight is a trade off for increased recoil in any revolver.  It is not a gun that you will want to shoot all day.  We were looking at it for my wife to carry in her purse.  Light weight, takes 38+p's, nice trigger, accurate, no Hilary Hole.

I shot my buddy's LCR and I was also very impressed with it. Great double action trigger and accurate. Didn't kick as much as I thought it would too.

Try before buy is a given.  Some place want to train her with a .22, but sell her the LCP  
She can train with it to feel confident and then if she has to use it, hand pain is nothing compared to survival.
