Ruger SP101 22lr Review and Range Time
Спорт
Join us as we take a loot at the Ruger SP 101 4 inch, eight shot in 22 Long Rifle. We compare it to the 357 / 38 Special model and take it to the range firing CCI Mini Mags, Aguila Super Extra, and Norma Tac-22 to compare the results.

They are nice pistols. Something about the rubber grips with wood inserts that really appeals to me.
Have had mine for 10 years or so, great little gun

Thanks for watching Kevin! I plan on doing another video soon testing out some different bulk packs through it.

Thank you Tiger! I appreciate your kinds words.
Good review, nice gun and sexy holster! If you are going to shoot a new-to-you .22LR I do what you did; take 4 or 5 different types and weight so ammo and enjoy the moment of finding what it likes and doesn't like. Take notes, take your time and experiment. I had poor luck with the Norma Tac .22 in semiautomatic pistols as it was "gummy" with too much lube. I didn't stick with it enough to notice how well it shot since I was more concerned with the function. Aguila is becoming a new favorite! Happy New Year to you and your family.

Thanks for watching Frank! I pray for a joyous and prosperous New Year for you and your family as well! I plan on taking this one out a few more times before I settle on it's favorite ammo. Plus I need more practice with its trigger. I started taking notes years ago with all my firearms, usually when sighting them in. On some I even tape notes to the butt stock or inside the shoulder sling. Recently I've used my videos as logs to remind me which ammo certain firearms like. I'm not certain I ever had a good memory and age isn't being kind 😅
Cool video My Name. That made me laugh. I was going to watch last night but my dog kept pestering me so I gave up on my computer time. I have that SP101 in .357. I love that little revolver and it shoots great. I have two actually. The 4 inch like the one you showed and I have a hidden hammer (double action only) one with a 2 inch barrel. That S&W looked really neat. I wonder how it shoots. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks.

Thanks as always for your support Cervus! The SP101 really is a special revolver. Wish they made one in 22 magnum.

You got a nice gun range set up, how much land do you have?
Thanks for the review and information about Camp Curry Leather. I'm trying to find a SP101 or GP100 in 22lr but at least I can get a holster for my Blackhawk now!

Thank you for watching h1orxrah! They've made a few holsters for me and they are all great. I ordered from them through Etsy. Not sure if they also have a separate website.
Great test ! The SP is a great revolver I’ve fired them before ! Good choice in .22 lr !

I got the gp100 in 22lr. It's pretty huge but fun to shoot. That sp101 looks like a good size.

Thanks for watching Brett! The GP100 in 22 is a beautiful pistol. The SP101 is a little better for carry due to weight, and the same can be said for the 357 versions. I much prefer to shoot my GP 5’’ 357, but rather carry the SP 4’’. That being said you can’t go wrong with either revolver. Just make sure to wear a good belt. 😀
Oh yeah, I also have a GP100 357 5" - doesn't get much better than that!

I agree! Although I love my SP101 4 inch although I think the SP101 looks best with a 3 inch barrel and the GP with the 5".
Another 22 😳. Not bad, first drought now floods. Ok down there Texican? 🌵 🌧 🌊

Hey Lawrence! Doing well. Thanks for asking! Getting a good amount of rain but could still use more! Water levels were getting pretty low and some springs in the hill country stopped flowing. Hopefully these storms will raise the aquifer levels. Better than getting it from a hurricane!

I agree Lucka! One in 22 magnum would be fun and would make the revolver much more versatile.

Soup, I cannot argue with your assessment. It is a HEAVY trigger.
11 lb on a double action revolver especially a 22 is not heavy. That's almost perfect.

Thanks for watching! You are probably right Brit. I'm probably just accustomed to semi-auto trigger pulls. I need to take this revolver out and practice with it more.
With a replacement grip, wouldn't this be the ultimate practice pistol for anyone who owns the .357 magnum counterpart?

Yes indeed. For someone with a 4" (or other length for that matter) SP101, this model could be a great training tool.

Price?

If you can find one, they run anywhere between $700 - $900+ online. Like everything, prices are going up.
Try resting the bottom of the butt of the revolver on something more solid , it tightens up my groups a lot !

Doesn’t matter, it’s shit ammo anyway. They sometimes have some sort or resin on their brass that gums up my Mark IV mags. Chi Mini Magdalena the way!
