I've had a GP100, a 686+ and an EAA Windicator (which I no longer have), and now I'm looking for something smaller. Not J-frame small, but what I consider mid-size for a .357. I have the big, heavy GP and 686 for range fun, so I'm looking for something more portable and concealable. Models I'm seriously considering are the SP101 and Colt KC. Both feel great in the hand and have just about the perfect length of pull.
I admit to being sucked in by the butter smooth trigger on the KC. A bit leery based on reports of poor QC at Colt, but I really like the feel of the DA pull, and might be willing to take a chance based on that.
I'm also not a huge fan of non-adjustable sights, but I understand these are not target revolvers. How accurate are the 3" KC and SP101 with fixed sights? Will they hit the 10 ring at 25 yards (considering I'm up to it)? That would be good enough for me.
The next consideration is how each one handles recoil from magnum loads. The specs put the SP101 and KC at one ounce difference, but I'm told the felt recoil from the KC is greater. Interested in hearing feedback from folks who have actually shot each one back to back.
My intended use would be as a trail gun, something I can keep a backpack, but also IWB on occasion.
