I've been asking in the revolver forum and elsewhere some SP101 questions. The reason is, I'm signed up for this NRA concealed carry course in June (but may get bumped up to May just a couple weeks from now). And they want you to bring the gun you intend to carry.
Well, I'm a long way off from carrying, though I think it's a reasonable goal to set for myself. Mostly I want the knowledge that comes from the course, and then the permit is an easy thing to apply for and, presumably, attain. If I qualify, why not have it if for no other reason to avoid some circumstances where I might accidentally not be in full compliance when transporting or traveling with my guns?
Anyway, this SP101 keeps jumping out at me, it is spoken of so highly here. And I love the size of it. Ultimately, when I decide I'm ready to carry, I think I could do a lot worse than the SP101.
Additionally, I have located one that is new in the box, never fired, and the guy wants $400. I can get one from a store for $440 but hey, the difference is a couple boxes of ammo and I figured if I had a problem with it I could send it straight to Ruger.
I'm not crazy about the grips on the SP101, but I have not yet looked into aftermarket options.
Sorry for the long post that, it turns out, doesn't really even have a question. I guess I'm just bouncing it off you guys...
