How about the Ruger sp101
I've been seeing opinions in other forums that the ruger sp101 is a good choice in 357 since it is built stronger than the S&W, and costs less.
The sp101 is all steel and weighs about 25 0z. That doesn't seem so much more than the 386 airlite, but its smaller, and has only 5 rounds. Being smaller it may be easier to carry than tthe 386.
I want something with real power, to carry occasionally with the right clothing, and to give me choices with my other guns a
Glock 26 and the P-3AT.
