The SP101 in .38 Special+P is the same compact snubnose package as the .357 variant but rated only for .38 Special and .38 Special+P. For users who do not anticipate needing .357 Magnum capability, the .38 designation provides the same physical pistol at a reduced price point. The heavy SP101 frame makes .38 Special+P very comfortable to shoot.
