I got the SP101 in .327 Fed Mag when it first came on the scene back
in 2008 and the M632-1 when it hit the shelves, same with the Charter Arms Patriot,
but, like a fool I let a friend talk me into selling him the Charter Arms, a model
that has since been discontinued. Last year I picked up a M632-2 and to date,
it's probably my favorite although it doesn't have a 3" bbl.
Between the SP101 & M632-1 (shown below), if I were to get another I would
opt for the Ruger. It just seems a little more robust and is a better fit, frame wise,
with the .327 Federal Mag round. With some shooting & Wolff Springs the trigger
isn't that bad, not as smooth as our S&W's mind you, but not bad either.
Here's the M632-2 that I mentioned, which is my wife's primary carry gun.
For those who may not be familiar with the versatility of the .327 Mag
Revolvers here are the rounds it accepts.
