I have the Ruger SP101 in .357 mag. Great little gun, built like a tank. i practice with .38's--smaller recoil.But keep it loaded .357 for personal protection.

Note: I also put acrimson laser grips on it, that are simplyamazing. I can empty the gun at 60 feet and all 5 shots are touching and I'm not the best pistol shooter by any means. well worth the money !!
