If COLT can get six rounds into this gun, then why can't Ruger do the same with the SP101?

Lack of obsession for .357 Mag is the best answer I can see with the Colt.
Holsters.....so far have two #25 Safariland holsters. One for pocket and one bolted into Thunderwear. With an Ares belt it is workable in a pocket of heavier pants or shorts like I wear. I have a #27 Safariland on the way. Hoping it fits. I hope to see a DSG or similar for this gun.

Very close to the original Det. Special. The trigger guard is significantly bigger. While I am not a big fan of the bigger trigger guard, it is because snow scares me and I don’t live in places with lots of it. This gun would make a fantastic winter coat pocket gun and being able to shoot it in gloves is important.

I am doing a lot of dry handling work with it. I didn’t like the sharp edge of the loader cut area on the VZ grips. The beauty of the grips was a few minutes with a small file and it is great now with no visual issues to the grips. I have been happiest working with Bianchi speed strips over speed loaders.

Maybe because the Magnum Carry didn't do so well?

Frankly, in a snubby, I don't know that any increase in "stopping power" is worth the trade off of increased flash/blast/recoil over .38 +P. And I own an SP101.

DB,
What load(s) are you currently using in your SP101?
I'm currently using Win Ranger 130 +P .38s, but I'd like to try out the Hornady Critical Duty Magnum offering, or just say "screw it" and pony up the premium for old-school Silvertips.

I'm tempted to pick one up, to scratch my wheelgun itch.
