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.

    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 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. 😀
