I have always been a fan of the 357 magnum. When the sp series came out, I bought one as quick as I could. Loaded it up, heavy. The recoil was massive and I quickly regulated the sp to 38 duty only. Over the years I have bought and sold many sp 101 revolvers. I just love the look and feel of the gun, but that recoil, I just couldn't get past.
A few months ago, I acquired another one sp 101 DAO. Did the action, springs, buffing the internals, sweet trigger. Went to the range yesterday with a bunch of 38, but also took 357 fodder. I wish I had brought more 357. Out of the little snubbie the fireball was big and the roar was loud. With stock grips, the little gun didn't punish me as I once remembered.
Have any of you revisited a gun and liked it better the 2nd time around?
