Ruger SP101 4.2" - anyone own one?

[Mindflayer]

Anyone own the Ruger SP101 4.2" in .357 Magnum? It's really piqued my interest - thinking it may be perfect for hikes, and a good match to my .357 Magnum carbine. Just curious as to balance. I have a GP100 in a 5" version, and it's a great gun, but it is a bit heavy for hauling around the mountains, where every pound counts.

My wife carries a SP101. Bought it last July and shoots it all the time. She really likes shooting .38 SP with a little less recoil than the .357 Mag. load. It's a great weapon and very easy to clean and maintain.
