I have carried a 2.25" SP-101 for over 10 years. It is one of my favorite guns. Shooting .357 in it is no problem, I've fired probably over 5,000 rounds of .357 thru mine and it's still going strong. Mine is loaded with .357 Golden Saber. I own over a half dozen SP-101's, so I'm obviously fond of them. You can't go wrong with the SP-101.

If you like the Centennial style revolver, but want to shoot .357, you can also look at the 340 M&P. It's not as pleasant as the SP-101 to shoot .357 ammo from, but it's not as heavy either. You can easily carry the 340 in a pocket, the SP-101 not so much. I often carry my 340 as a back up to my SP-101 since they use the same speedloaders and ammo.
