Ruger SP101 Match Champion .357 Magnum 4.2" Revolver

Ruger SP101 Match Champion: Purpose-Built for the Competitive Shooter

The SP101 Match Champion represents Ruger's commitment to delivering a revolver engineered specifically for shooters who demand accuracy and reliability in competitive environments. This is not a compromise—it is a purpose-built instrument.

Barrel and Accuracy

The full-lug 4.2" barrel is crowned with an 11-degree target crown, a feature that speaks to serious accuracy work. The barrel length provides the sight radius necessary for precision shooting while remaining manageable for quick transitions between targets. The 1:16" right-hand twist stabilizes .357 Magnum rounds with consistency.

Trigger and Action

Polished and optimized internals distinguish this revolver from standard production models. Centering shims on both trigger and hammer ensure a smooth double-action pull with a crisp, predictable let-off—essential for competitive shooting where consistency matters.

Cylinder and Lockup

The patented triple-locking cylinder locks into the frame at three points: front, rear, and bottom. This design ensures positive alignment and dependable operation shot after shot, eliminating the tolerance stack-up that can plague lesser designs.

Sights and Controls

• Front Sight: Fiber optic for rapid target acquisition in varied lighting
• Rear Sight: Fully adjustable for windage and elevation
• Grip: Custom Altamont hardwood with stippled and checkered sides for secure purchase in any shooting environment

Safety and Maintenance

The patented transfer bar mechanism provides reliable protection against accidental discharge. Integrated subassemblies disassemble without special tools, allowing straightforward maintenance and cleaning.
