I've not held/fired a SP101, so this is just a "theoretical" comment - what is the intended use of a 5-shot, snub-barrel 357 that is weighs around 2 pounds loaded? It seems rather heavy to carry concealed. For a bedside gun, wouldn't an extra round and another couple inches of barrel be better? At the range, the extra weight would be nice, but is a snub-nose the best range gun? My less than two cents is, maybe she should try one of the lighter alloy-framed snubbies before deciding.
