Well, I've been looking to add a revolver to my collection recently. I've always liked revolvers for some reason (call me old fashioned), but I traded the only handgun I owned (6in. Rossi SS) for a SA XD-9. Don't get me wrong, I really like the XD, but I was missing my old revolver.
Researching on the Internet, I narrowed my choices to the Ruger GP100 or the S&W 686, with 4" barrels, chambered in .357. I figured these are the "do-everything" handguns. You just gotta have one.
Imagine my surprise as I left a gun store today with my brand new Ruger SP101, 2 1/4" in. .357 I held the GP100 and the Smith, but I just could not put this little thing down! I've never been one for short barrels... don't know why, but now I got a snubby... and I love the way it feels . Can't wait to shoot it.
Anyone else like the SP101??
P.S. I'm new to the forum... You guys have a great place here. I think I'll stick around a while!
