Hi Ruger enthusiasts,
I just found this forum. I am fairly new to guns and have been coveting an SP101 and I would like to ask the opinions of some more experienced gun owners. I would get the 101 in .38/.357. My questions:
2" or 3"? I might like to use it for carry at some point so that favors 2". 3" would shoot .357 better and be more powerful generally I imagine with less recoil. Anyone carry a 3"? I have a 4" GP100 in blued (too big for me to carry concealed) so maybe the 3" is almost a duplicate.
Hammer or hammerless? Am I going to miss having SA option if I get the hammerless? Is there any durability/reliability issue with the mechanism that favors either?
There is no internal lock on any SP101, right?
Than you very much for you time.
