Am considering purchasing a Ruger Sp101 or a Speed Six, and would like to read your opinions. Purpose: ccw/car carry and to keep the G27 company.
Had an SP101 when they first came out. Had it for a year or so. Sold it when I bought a GP100. Just saw one for sale in a gun store, and I recall mine being finished a lot better. But could buy a used one and ship it off to Jack w. for a "taming the beast job". Or, could check out the Speed 6, which has an extra round.
It has been many moons since I've handled one of those, and I recall they were a bigger frame. Perhaps the 101 is the way to go for ccw despite giving up a round, for its size and strength are evidently designed specifically for ccw.
Re the SP101, is it possible to get a duller finish besides the SS? I read that Ruger has a "bright" SS, but I prefer blue steel. Rusting has not been a concern -- I don't carry very often, and SS just looks like a pimp gun.
