I'm looking at a Smith & Wesson model 60 and a Ruger SP101. Both have 3" barrels, 5 shot cylinders and are 357 Mag. Both come with fixed sights or adjustable sights. What are the pro's and con's of each. Which would you rather have and why? They'll see limited carry use.
It's nice they're chambered in .357 Mag because then I figure I have a stout lil' revolver to fire .38 Special +P. The .357 Mag capability would be reserved for when I had the urge to start a good grass-fire.
The M60 is my choice - a little handier, a little more refined, and with the adjustable version better sights. The 3" M60 with adjustable sights is one of those handguns where everything comes together.
