One last question

I know the Ruger is the way to go and I am going to get 1 of the 2 tomorrow. Which is a better buy from your views? I kind of like the idea of the hammer version but for carry I like the hammerless or bobbed version. They both are great prices just cant make up my mind. Both is not an option though

The 101 is a bit big and bulky to carry in a pocket. Since it's going on a belt get the hammer version. If you go with the bobbed hammer and ever decide to switch you are probably going to be over $100 for parts and labor. There is a reason the hammerless is cheaper. MUCH less market for it.
