Funny, my "woods gun" is a RBH .45 Colt, but I was just thinking I need the new SP-101 4.2" .357. Why? Why not? I like the fact that I can literally be "loaded for bear" with the .45, but in truth, I mostly shoot 250 hard cast at just under 1,000 fps. Cheap to load, fun to shoot, crushes most critters with little meat damage. Still want that .357, though.
