    Default My first wheel gun

    Just picked up a ruger sp101 3" in .357mag. Think this will replace my G26 for every day carry gun.

    I have been thinking of an LCR but, honestly they hurt to fire. I need to explore some more revolvers and find one that suits me.

    Nice piece, glad you found a mate.

    i love wheel guns... but that LCR is a bear to manage. Its so light that even with the .38 sp loads... its tough to control.

    The SP101 is one of my very favorite revolvers, I used to carry one years ago. It's going to take some getting used to the extra carry weight vs the Glock 26. Again, nice revolver, and good luck.

    I like the stock grip. After about 20 rounds my wrist started to feel it.


    I might round the hammer a little bit it's to sharp on the corners.

    Anyone recommend a holster for this gun? Got a uncle mike side kick (only thing the shop had) and don't like it.

    I have carried this 2 days, and cant tell the difference from my glock in weight
