I've had a 9mm SP101, and 38 and 9mm J-frame revolvers, for some years now. Due to it's weight, I can't claim the SP101 is best for concealed carry,etc. I think the J-Frames,especially with the alloy frames, the Ruger LCRs, etc. are more practical for that. But it has been a rock solid little revolver with all kinds of ammunition, and has a smooth, but heavy, DA trigger. Might be the last little 5-shooter I'd want to get rid of...
