Just curious. I used to have one and had to send it back to the factory. Ruger said they weren't making them at the moment and asked if they could replace it with another gun. I said, "Okay, do you have any SP-101s?"
So they sent me a 2.5-inch version at no extra charge and it seems to be a well built piece, but a bit heavy.
But what about the LCRs? The .357 ones? I always wondered how they'd hold up. I didn't like the puny 1.82-inch barrels they came out with (can't we hold the minimum at 2-inches?) But what about flame cutting? I never shot a hot 125gr JHP mag out of it, but people who have said it's not pleasant. But I've heard the same for the SP-101.
If you ever had an LCR of either type, did you keep it or dump it? And did I do better switching to the 101?
The SP-101 pictured with my .357 Ruger Speed-Six.
My LCR .357 and my sister's .38+P version.
My Taurus M88 .38spc with the LCR .38+P. I don't know how the
S&W 60 .38 and the Taurus hold up to +P loads. But the Ruger
seems like it was built for it.
