My little SP101 is sucking down full power .357 mag ammo like candy and so far the only visible damage is to my hand.

You won't hear me say that all roogler stuff is crap. The SP101, MKII and 10/22 are all pretty decent guns as far as the engineering goes.
I've owned two SP101s and they were ok. They weren't as nicely made as my Smiths or Colts but they also didn't cost as much.
Once I found out that the major components were cast, I swore them off.

Bah. Then make a forging and be done with it.

Good for them. Don't shoot a roogler P-series auto or centerfire revolver near me. Nobody is going to correct my prejudice, ignorant or otherwise.
If a roogler is all you can afford, then get a roogler. Otherwise, sell some blood plasma, scrounge some quarters at the laundromat, beat up a homeless guy and take his money but get some extra bucks and get a gun from a company that supports ALL of your rights ALL of the time.
