The club where I teach NRA Basic Pistol just bought 10 of the SP101 Targets... We have been using instructor donated guns for 20+ years. Most have been S&Ws with a few Colts, Dan Wessons and Taurus thrown in.

They are a very solid gun but off the bench at 5 yards the Rugers didn't shoot near the groups that the Smiths did even the Model 63s and 34s. And the DA pulls are very hard and we teach DA shooting in our BP Course...

I have two 63s that I use for training and although I plan on buying a SP101 the 63s are not going anywhere... Given a choice I'l take a 63...smaller, lighter and better balanced.
