Another vote for the SP101. If you were asking which gun in .38 Special to buy, I'd vote for the Model 60, but for magnums, I think the SP is a better choice. I have two SP101s myself, one 2 1/4", one 3", both DAO with Meprolight front sights. They are fantastic revolvers and my first choice for a primary carry revolver. I carry my 2 1/4" SP in a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster regularly despite the accepted "internet fact" that the SP101 isn't a pocket gun.
