Buds was excellent as...
Buds was excellent as always. The SP101 is as straight forward as it gets and feels overbuilt for the .38 special which is a good thing. Reliable and rugged are the two words that come to mind, needed a no nonsense revolver for my collection and this one fits the bill. Single action pull feels great, double action takes a few range trips to break in then it feels good. Accuracy of the irons is also good but definitely will be painting the front blade. Can't go wrong with this revolver.

A: Dylan, this revolver falls under a previous CA compliant statute. It net CA requirement for trigger pull, drop safety and being a "Revolver". Newly imposed or soon to be imposed CA restrictions is quickly whittling down the number of CA compliant handguns.
