I have to pay off the last few I bought

My favorite gun to go range shooting. Accurate, light recoil and cheap ammo. No issues with it.

It’s pretty good for sure. I think my Smith and Wesson 617 is better than the SP101 in 22 but they’re both very good

I very happy,that you can shout of this revolver

Nice find. Get as many guns as you can afford, along with ammo. Thanks for the review.

That Ruger SP is a fine shooting revolver , good choice ! I’ve been a revolver shooter all my life and have always enjoyed both double action models and I have always been fond of single action models!

The SP101 is a great piece.

Great range report. I really like my SP101 hammerless 357 but I think I would want this as an all-around outdoor companion.

This is a great companion gun, it does need some better springs though, maybe I’ll check Wolff out- need some other springs so while I’m at it…

I rly like the SP101s. I'd prob take one in any caliber I could find. Something about them just looks streamline, very appealing to me. I dunno why, they just look so sweet. Good looking gun. A nice revolver, thanks for sharing 👍

I really like it. I may try to get some lighter springs for this one. See if it lightens the action a little.

Picked up one of these a couple months ago. I put a 13 lb wolf spring in it. Helps a lot. Also put a Hogue grip on it which feels great and backs my finger off that trigger a little bit.

I got an SP-101 last year (in .357). I was expecting the trigger to be similar to my GP-100, which I consider to be a pretty decent trigger, but I found that the SP-101 that I got had a really heavy and gritty trigger and more like a Smith trigger than a Ruger. Fortunately, stoning the internals and putting in some Wolff springs helped dramatically, so now it has a smooth and only moderately hefty trigger, yet no light printer strikes

I bought mine used and it was far from perfect. I am a tinkerer so I had to file a few areas, and put Wolff springs in. It’s much better. Mine someone had hollywooded the cylinder shut and it made a burr in the frame behind the cylinder that I had to file out, as it would not rotate when the cylinder was loaded. The frame actually dragged on the rounds in the chamber. The heavy trigger is partially due it it being a Rimfire gun- I put a 10 lb return spring in and a 14 lb hammer spring and it made a world of difference.

Nice but these are $800+ now 😮
