A stupid SP101 question

[JimHPTN]

Other than the roll stamps and the difference in chamber length due to the caliber difference, is there a difference between the KSP-821X and the KSP-321X?

 

[JimHPTN]

I'm specifically wondering about cylinder length.

 

[Fox Mike]

How about giving some information other than the model numbers.

Google says no.

The model numbers tell all the 821X is a .38 and the 321X is a .357/38 both have 2.25" barrels

The cylinder length for the .38 and .357 SP-101s is the same. There were early models (through about 1991?) in both chamberings that had shorter cylinders.

Welcome to our Forum neighbor!

Looks like you got some details above. I hope it was what you were seeking!

@NikA is correct. Same size cylinder. The very first sp101’s had smaller cylinders/ windows.

This is sort of a pet peeve of mine. .38 special revolvers with .357 sized cylinders. I get why, but it still bugs me.
