I prefer the Ruger SP101 in .357 for shootability. The weight makes it manageable for followup shots when using 125gr .357. I bought mine (2.25" barrel) ages ago and had severe sticker shock when I recently saw them selling for mid-$700 (paid $388 for mine). A little research showed that they now have two lines of SP101. The new fancy ones are the 57xx series and the 'Talo' models. The plain jane early models are KSP321X & XL and those can be found in the $535 to $570 range. I've used the HKS jframe speedloaders with no issues.
5720 and KSP321XL are bobbed hammer
5718 and KSP321X are full spur hammer
