I'm not sure I understand what you're implying. My intent was for the OP to choose a gun that fits him and his needs. Did I miss something?
That's why I like the SP101 DAO 2.25". Heavy enough to comfortably shoot 38+p, light enough to carry/conceal and not pretty enough that I worry about putting a scratch on it.
Depending on your intended use a Speed Six 2 3/4" or GP100 4.2" might work if you don't mind the "billboards" on the barrels.
Or split the difference and go for a five inch.
I like it. I should put the bobbed hammer back in mine.
I polished the billboard off the side of my 3-inch GP100.You know I really like Ruger products but the only one I have left is the Single Six. Just can't stand all the warnings roll marked all over them ...
I roughed it down carefully with a file, then finer and finer sandpaper over a sanding block. Initial polish with a Dremel using rouge, and finished by hand with Mothers Mag polish. I learned while doing it and would do a better job second time. After I got the billboard gone, I polished the rest of the gun to give it a high gloss. It's the 3-inch GP pictured on the previous page. I'll have to take one closer up.
Warning of danger stamped on a firearm, to me, are like warnings posted at the drive-thru that the coffee is hot. If you don't know the dangers, you have no business buying one (or coffee, either).Not fond of the billboard either. But, I don't see it when I'm punching tiny little groups in my target. And, there just might be a tactical advantage. If my future badguy is OCD, he'll be forced to read the whole thing. Giving me time to run.
