Two snub .357s live at my place, both the 2" versions- an SP101, and a Smith Model 60.
My wife shoots the Smith, the Ruger is mine. Neither is hard to handle, though she doesn't really
enjoy shooting them, and I don't like more than 20 rounds at a time. Both have nice triggers, though
the SP101 took some work. I don't mind that it's "heavy" for its size, I'm glad it is. For the money, I think
it's the nicest .357 out there. I replaced the ugly grip panels with elk scales, and it's prettied-up, or uglied-up,
with my own engraving, but I'm too stupid to post pictures. It's a heavy- coat pocket gun, mostly, and I rarely
need one anymore, but I'm gonna keep it, and I fire a few through it, weekly.
