I have a Speed-Six with 2 3/4" barrel and an SP101 with 3" and I have to say that the Speed-Six seems put together better. It was much smoother right out of the factory than the SP101, which seems kind of rough by comparison, sticky action, etc.Cosmoline said:I find the Speed Six superior to the SP-101 as well. It's slightly larger and a few ounces heavier, but that just makes it better with full house magnum loads. And it's just as concealable, except perhaps in pocket carry. There's no need to shoot .38's out of Speed Six. Plus, I just like having six shots instead of five. That's the main reason I've shifted from an SP-101/Model 36 combo to a Speed six/Detective Special combo. Five shots always leaves me feeling like I'm missing a sock.
And I would not try to take it away. I would want to keep her happy for sure.Hers, not mine:
Johnny: not a very good pic, but here's SWMBO's 160 series Speed-six .38 w/ Badger walnut grips.
