Good gosh.....I'm wondering if I should even stop now!

Maybe I can just slow down a little and she can jump in, after all...it was just a gall bladder surgery.

Is "Katy" any better than Houston? That is where I am going actually.

I am sure you are an expert with both, but I would rather the larger round count. I carried a 642 downtown once and promised myself that I would NEVER do that again. Folks tend to run in 3-4 people groups.

That Para should be tucked nicely in your shoulder rig

Good point. I'll stick with the Para as per usual.....but take the 101 also.

The 101 will fit nicely in the center console (as suggested). Don't know why I didn't think of that.

I am traveling to Houston this weekend to pick up a relative of mine that just had a surgery.

It will be a day trip and we probably won't be stopping....except to get fuel and possibly one meal.

My normal "daily carry" is the P-13, but the SP-101 is so much lighter.

In terms of concealment, they both hide well, and are similarly sized.

The difference in weight is significant however:

Fully Loaded P-13 (14 rounds of 230 gr.) = 3.25 lb. payload
Fully Loaded SP-101 (5 rounds of 125 gr.) = 1.9 lb. payload

I am partial to the P-13 for it's high capacity and ability to be quickly reloaded, but the Wheel-Gun is tempting for this short trip.
