Besides the stuff mentioned above,, (light gun, heavy recoil, etc,) I look at things with a thought towards practicality.
Ruger built the LCR as an answer to the desires of a LIGHT easy to conceal, easy to shoot revolver due to customer demands. Now,, I teach handgunning,, and I always say; "Light weight, easy to carry,, heavy recoil. Heavy weight, harder to carry, lighter recoil,, it's PHYSICS."
That said,, in this case I'll delve a bit deeper.
When you lighten a gun like the way Ruger did with the LCR,, I do not believe it was an effort to build a gun that can be subjected to a lot of excessive use & heavy loads. I think you'd be looking at a failure of something after a period of time & use. And even good quality steel guns can have issues. The S&W M-19 was designed as a LEO gun,, yet,, it's known to have issues after a lot of heavy use with heavy loads. It was designed around a "normal" police load & use.
With that,, PERSONALLY,, I would look at a different model if my desire was to shoot a lot of top tier loads using H110.
