OP never stated he was looking at the SP, he said other than that revolver what else is out there with a 4 to 6 inch barrel. The only currently produced .32 revolver with barrels that long is the SP101, which is why OP mentioned it.The OP specifically stated he was looking at the 4.2" SP101.
Any gun can be used as a 'kit' gun, 'tackle box' gun, 'truck/car' gun, 'range' gun, 'hunting gun', defense gun, etc. Even the GPs.
I suspect Ruger would disagree that the only purpose of the SP101 is a carry gun. I suspect they would say it can be used for much more than what you claim (see above). For example, Ruger has a Match Champion SP101 for competition. That kinda shoots down your claim.

Nobody who is a serious competitive shooter would buy the Match Champion SP101 over a similar GP100 and while I prefer a smaller revolver for the .32 caliber, that doesn't mean the OP feels the same and if he wants a .327 for range shooting only the GP100 is better than the SP101 in that regards.
