I'm not sure it would sell well enough since the SP101 isn't capable of handling anything larger than the .357 magnum it's already chambered for. It would just be an aesthetic change but yes, I use this fairly often to compare sizes before buy.

 

Like the Mini-14...chambered in a lesser cartridge than the original. It was more of a joke, but I was surprised at the similarities in length between the two. Anyways thought of the Alaskan as being huge despite the short barrel but she is just wider and taller.

 

I discovered Handgun Hero only a couple weeks ago. Previously I used Genitron.

 

I’ve used it but I forgot about it until now. I seem to remember it didn’t have the gun I wanted to compare in its database.
Comparing the SP and the Alaskan is going to look similar until the top view when you can see how much fatter the frame, barrel and cylinder are… or maybe you’ve seen it already, I don’t know if they have three-views

They have rear views for some guns. Seems like the top view would be very useful. The Table is pretty useful though - more so for Semis that revolvers.

 

I've been using it for a few years. Excellent site for comparing handgun dimensions/weight. I use it more extensively whenever I'm considering a new concealed carry option.

 

I have used it, usually when someone says a gun on here I don't know, I look to see what it looks like if they have a file of it

 

Does anyone else frequently use Handgun Hero for comparing different models to each other?

Occasionally. Last time I used it was to compare the Ruger Security-380 to the Glock 28 (not that I would ever buy a Glock ). The Ruger won.

 

I use it from time to time. Handy site.

 

Though many find it fun the usefulness is limited.

Everything depends on your frame of reference(s).

Can you actually relate what those fractions of an inch differences would be like?
Same for differences in weight?

Most people can't!

Several people made a huge deal about the larger size and weight of the new FN HIGH POWER compared to a classic like the SA35.
I've been shooting my BHPs constantly. SA35 is identical. Shot them side by side with the FN.
Couldn't FEEL the difference in size or weight!

My Dad was a Millwright. He had calibrated eyes. He could perceive small differences.

Some can look at a Blueprint and SEE it 3 dimensionally in their brain down to the measurements.

Some can feel and judge small weight differences.

Most of us cannot. Especially, all of it combined.

Nothing beats laying your hands on them. And if you're honest with yourself, you may find it doesn't matter. Even when you shoot them.

That's a reason i ask, how does it shoot for you?

Range Rentals are bigger today. Perfect way to compare and/or try before buying. Have a blast at the same time.

Yes, true there!

 

Yeah, I use it regularly. Good stuff. Comes in handy when comparing carry guns.

 

I use the site for comparisons and as good as it is in helping determine size differences one can be misled.

For instance, having owned SP101s and an Alaskan I can verify they are worlds apart in size. May loo, close length wise and that's where the similarities stop.

I do wish they'd add some non carry guns like the Bearcat.
