I have a SP101 in 9MM coming, be here Friday, and I am looking forward to a new toy to play with. Big kid in me, 72 years old. I was shocked at what Ruger charges for the mood clips for the SP101 and LCR moon clips for 9 MM. 14.95 + shipping for three clips ! Ouch!! Midway , when they have them in stock, sells a 8 pack of Ranch product moon clips for 9.95 + shipping --- better price. I had a 357 SP101, 2.25" barrel, and it was loud and had a jump with full 357 loads but was not abusive with a Hogue grip on it. Spring kit made it smooth as silk with DA and light SA pull. I plan to give the 9mm 101 the same treatment . I read the review of the LCR in 9 MM by Jeff Quinn of Gun Blast and was frankly very surprised at the velocity he got with some of the commercial loads and that was what swayed me to buy the SP101/9m. I taper crimp all of my semi auto rounds and have never had one "walk" out of the case. I had a speed six in 9 MM many years ago and it was a very nice little gun to shoot and carry around. I can't help but like the SS guns better than the blue, dark colored ones, for CC role. In addition having a shiny gun in you hand will allow potential recipients to recognize their potential peril and maybe change their mind about any further interactions with you and leave to search for easier targets.
There was a study by the El Paso police department many years ago that confirmed this premise , about silver guns VS blued guns and resultant shootings.
