SP101 vs GP100

[G_Alan]

oh, one more thing for ya.
from what ive been told you can replace the smaller grip that comes with the SP for the full sized one no problem, im going to probably do that with mine as i like to have my pinky supported, i just havnt gotten around to it yet.

The Hogue grip for the SP101 is a bit bigger than the stock grip. Big enough to fit your pinky finger. I liked the SP101 after I swapped out the grip, but I like my .357 GP100 better. Apples to oranges comparison for what its worth.

many recommend the S&W revolvers vs the Ruger and Alfa.

can the 617 be had in anything shorter than 6" in Canada? their site shows a 6" and 4" model...4" obviously wouldn't work here, so wonder if any special runs were done with legal barrel lengths for Canada?

The minimum barrel length for handguns in Canada is >105mm or just shy of 4.2" which is why Ruger brought out the GP-100 @ 4.2". 4" guns are to short unfortunately.
