Huh? A Ruger sp101 is a 357 magnum.
The pocket on the cargo shorts in the picture appears to be in the wrong place?  :dunno_black:
Defensive ammo in it is OK.

Though I really would not want to stare down the barrel of a loaded revolver. Then "I know the safety is on" and stuff like that and "it doesn't make any difference that my middle finger is on the trigger".

The Ruger SP-101 is a series of double action revolvers produced by the American company Sturm, Ruger. The SP101 is a small frame and all-steel construction carry revolver, with a 5-shot (.38 Special, .357 Magnum, and 9x19mm Parabellum), 6-shot (.327 Federal Magnum and .32 H&R Magnum), or 8-shot (.22 LR) cylinder.

I still dont get whats wrong? :dunno_black:

Judging by the perspective, the loaded gun is pointed right at the guy's head. Not smart.

Ha ha.  Exactly.  They are hollow points too.  Darwin may claim this one in the near future.

Oh it's loaded.  You can see the reflection of the hollow point inside the barrel.
