If SP101 held 6 rounds…

[FLgun]

If SP101 held 6 round's would it be a Six Series modern equivalent?

 

[Uncle Howie]

I think not… I think the SP101 would still be a slightly smaller frame size.

If an Sp had 6 rounds it would be a GP 100, the sp has a small frame.

So in terms of size smallest to large …the SP101 six series then GP100?

 

[RoninPA]

Yes, I think it would be SP101 six shot, Six series, GP100, Redhawk, Super Redhawk.

 

[DutchV]

The SP-101 in .327 Federal does hold six rounds.

Wasn't aware of .327 in 6 shot configuration as I primarily shoot .38/357. Thanks for the info

Yes, I think it would be SP101 six shot, Six series, GP100, Redhawk, Super Redhawk.

They make revolvers larger than the GP100.. simply mind blowing haha

Yes, the SP is just a scaled down GP100.

 

[FLgun]

So the six series would be directly int between sizes for the SP and GP?

 

[dannyd]

That I don't know, because I have never owned a Six Series

 

[RoninPA]

Yes, pretty much. I did the eyeball check, I'll do physical measurement when I have the chance.

 

[contender]

Yes, they make a real man's revolver that is bigger than the GP series. Get your hands on a 6-shot Redhawk.

SP101, GP100, and Security Six.

I believe Colt had a 6 shot revolver that was SP 101 sized, but it was only .38special.

 

[Aqualung]

Colt made two .38 Specials that were 6 shots. Only difference between them was the frame material. The Detective Specials are steel frame and the Cobras were alloy frame.

SP..GP and redhawk?

 

[Tensaw]

The SP101 in .32 H&R magnum holds 6 rounds. I enjoy mine.

Years ago, I took this pic of two Ruger .357 Mag revolvers:

This is not my picture, just one I saved from when they first announced the SP in .327 Fed Mag, showing the six-shot cylinder:

No the last one is a Security Six. I went back and edited my original post to identify them.
