I had a 2.25" Ruger SP101 in .357Mag as well as a matching one in .22LR that's now discontinued. Matching his and hers set; a friend of mine asked if she could buy it off of me as their 1 year anniversary gift...
I had taken their picture at a church BBQ; both were single at the time; everybody thought the pic looked great; and they would look great as a couple; and so because of my pic; they started dating and eventually got married.
So.... I said yes; and sold them my set.. Fast forward 3 years; I'm back stateside now; and now in need of a new nightstand gun.
The shortlist:
Ruger SP101 2.25" .357Mag
SW Ladysmith in .357Mag
Ruger SP101 3" .357Mag
I think the action on the Ruger is much stronger; but I thought for my Asian hands; and for my wife's hands; the Ladysmith would be a slightly better fit. Will be mostly a nightstand gun. I had the 2.25" before and I thought it fired a bit hot; the muzzle flip was significant; and I thought perhaps a 3" would be a better choice a second time around..?
Thoughts and opinions..
Thanks.
