I used to own a GP100 6". It was a real pleasure to shoot, even with full-power loads, largely because of the weight. Now I own a SP101 3" and feel that it's a real pleasure to shoot as well; however, that's because I'm used to 357 Magnum. My point is start with a bigger gun with a longer barrel and lighter loads, and work your way up from there. Maybe you'll come to the point where you like shooting full-power 357 loads out of a SP101; or then again, maybe you won't. Regardless, it's not the best starting point for most.
That's my opinion, for what it's worth. Hope it helps.
