Between the gp100, sp101, and Taurus Tracker I would say you really cant go wrong. If your going to carry it concealed and only use it in an emergency I would say the sp would be fine. But if not I would go with adjustable sights since plinking and small game hunting are the main reasons we all go woods bumming in the first place. That way you can choose your load and sight in for it, rather than finding the load it was sighted in with at the factory. Personally I would recomend the gp100. The gun almost magically handels the hottest loads with ease and points extremely well. Its also the strongest 357 made so you need not limit your practice to light loads. The gp100 came out a little late in the game when police were changing over to auto's so it doesnt have the rich history of other classic sixguns but this isnt a bad thing because it combines all the best features of the guns before it.
