Sweet gun! I remember the write ups on those. I lusted after a 3" SP101 done by them for a while.
Here's the pic of the entire gun.
Would you believe I bought this gun for $200 about 10 years ago?
It's always been one of my fav shooters.

I love how the edges of the frame and barrel are cut, it gives the gun a very modern look.
Just re-read your post.
Are you saying that the factory edges do not look that way?
You have me intrigued, need to look at one of my buddies factory sp101 and compare.
No i am referring to the factory lines, your 101 doesn't look modified in that way. The lines of the Ruger seem to have a more modern cut to them, especially the 101 in regards to the bottom of the barrel and the meet point for the frame and barrel. S&W IMO have more classic lines, and haven't really changed all that much in many decades. The Ruger's to me, bridge the gap in design between S&W and Chiappa . I love how futuristic the Chiappa's look, i like the classicness of S&W, and how Ruger fit's right in the middle. While i don't have a either of those at the moment, i will fix that in the not to distant future. My only revolver right now is a EAA .38 snub, i inherited from my father.
Funny you say that cause I've always felt the same way about each style.
I've already told myself the next revolver I will purchase will be a used S&W due to classic look you mentioned esp with some quality wood grips.
BTW I believe I have the work done on the pistol figured out:
