.357 for Wife

Jeff,
$300 is a pretty good deal for a stainless SP-101. You might have been able to do better, but you certainly could have done a lot worse.

Glad to hear you found the Ruger at a fair price. Here in NE Ohio you can't find a use SP101. That was a big reason I ended up with a Taurus SS 605. Can't believe my luck with the pistol after reading all the bad reviews in this post. Bought new for under 300 with Uncle Mike grips. I put over 300 .38's and about 150 .357 mag through the gun without a problem. My Mom ended up with by trading me her Security Six. She didn't like the recoil of the 357 mag so she keeps 38+P loaded in the gun. Pistol packin granny. :eek:
 
We're picking it up Thursday ang going straight to the range. Wy wife has done amazingly well with the Taurus 85UL, getting consistant COM groups of 5 inches or less at seven yards. She's looking forward to trying the much heaver Ruger to see if the added weight helps.

We did try some plus P last week from the Taurus...woo hoo what a flamethrower!
 
No Jeff you didn't get ripped off. You didn't walk away with it but you got a fair deal. The SP-101 is an excellent handgun. I carried one for years as a back-up gun until a recent wrist injury forced me to switch to a lower recoiling Kahr K9. Just make sure your wife gets a good grip on it though. It'll talk to ya from both ends !
 
I owned a Taurus 85CH for years and never had a problem. The trigger was gritty compared to a S&W but I got what I paid for. I traded it for an AMT Backup in .45 that did NOT work. Should have kept the Taurus.
