I carry a Ruger SP101 3" with Rem 110gr JHP and personally think it's the greatest thing since Budweiser in the can! I love it, the gun that is. LOL! The weapon is thin enough to conceal easily and more than powerful enough to "take out the trash". Anyone who says Ruger doesn't make combat handguns never picked up a SP101 or GP100. They are the best of breed since Colt and S&W basically went out of the defensive handgun business. I own both a SP101 and a GP100 4" and would not sell either one.
