hey Guys
I have decided to add a snub nose to the family. I had a Taurus 85 years ago but foolishly sold it to a friend. That gun was reliable and lots of fun to shoot. This time I decided on a 357. I might carry (limited carrying privileges in NY) but it will mostly be a range toy. The challenge being able to shoot a snubbie reasonably well. I have other revolvers s&w as well as Ruger . Love them all. After handling both smiths and Rugers the sp101 stood out. Not heavy and not light. I initially wanted a used one but cannot find one locally. One LGS had a new blue one. My inspection revealed a nice finish,smooth trigger and tight lockup. Another tread had many folks complaining about Ruger quality and I have had issues too(minor) but the guns run well. I tried several smiths and either didn't care for the trigger or were too light. They had a K6 and a cobra but both were out of my price range(beautiful guns by the way) So what do you guys think. Looking to purchase in 2 weeks or so. Thanks
