According to our local news Pat Garrett's pistol that he used to kill Billy the Kidd was auctioned off in L.A. for over 6 million dollars. I was wondering who on here bought it?

Re: Ok Guys. J-Frame or SP 101?
I bought a 3" SP101 a few years ago and for a shooter it's top shelf. The problem is the 3" barrel makes it less than handy as a pocket gun. On the other hand my 2" S&W 640 is great and almost as heavy. Neither is comfortable to shoot with full power .357 loads.
