What is your SP101 preference?

I've got a couple of SP101's and I much prefer the 3" model. I did recently buy a 2-1/4" because of the price but I certainly have more 3"ers. Just between these two models which is your preference? Wondering if I'm in the norm.

2.25 DAO 357 mag. Love it....

I like all the lengths, but my current favorite is the 3 inch. Mine is in 327 Federal.

2-1/4" is my preference in an SP101. Any longer and I go to a Security Six/Speed Six in 2-3/4".

3". Seem like the extra 3/4" makes a big difference in shootability.

I shot a few before deciding on a 3 inch .357. It's so versatile and accurate. From mild 148 WCs, to 158 JHPs over max charges of H110, it hits where aimed.

My preference is the 2.25" SP101 in 357mag that I currently own. Nothing wrong with the 3". Would feel comfortable with either length for that matter.

Both are great but the 3" models definitely look better.

I like the 2.25 version. Easier to carry and conceal.

I have a 3 inch because when I was buying, they didn't make a 4 inch barreled SP.

Me too Gramps. My newest is 2012 or something close. Still like the 3" but I do need another 4". For my purpose I'm curious about the demand for the 2 barrel lengths listed.

Half-lug 4.2-inch adjustable-sighted SP .357.

2-1/4", Spurless Hammer, .357 Mag.

When you are out and about with one in your pants pocket you just know that it will handle almost any situation that you come across.

Mine is a 4" in .32 H&R Mag.

Yep, either barrel length. That's why I like them so much. I would have guessed that 2/3 that sold were 3" and maybe 1/3 were 2-1/4. But it looks like from this little survey, it's about 50/50. Who would have thought???

I would have to say the 4", since they dont make the 3" with adjustable sights.

Hmmm. I have a 2" .22 and a 4" full lug .22 along with a newer 8-shot 4" w/ fiber optic front sight. I also have 3" and 4" 32 mag SP101's. The 3" and 4" 327 Federals are also in the stable along with the 9mm.

I don't have any in .38 or .357!! :shock:

Honestly, the 4" full lug 22LR I bought in 1993 is my favorite SP.

I need to get some of the "normal " versions, don't I?

I think a 22Magnum would be great in these. Hint. Hint...
