Ruger SP101 357 Magnum Revolver
The Ruger SP101 represents a refined approach to compact revolver design, delivering reliability and shootability in a package suitable for both experienced marksmen and those new to wheelguns.
Design and Build
This 357 Magnum revolver features Ruger's patented triple-locking cylinder mechanism, which secures the cylinder at the front, rear, and bottom of the frame. This design ensures positive alignment and consistent lockup shot after shot. The satin stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without the glare of a polished finish.
The frame is a solid one-piece design with no weakening side plates, contributing to the revolver's durability and longevity.
Ergonomics and Handling
The cushioned rubber grip system is engineered for comfort, with no exposed metal at the backstrap—a feature that reduces discomfort during extended shooting sessions. The grip frame accommodates custom grips if desired, allowing shooters to tailor the revolver to their preferences.
At 27 ounces with an overall length of 8 inches, the SP101 balances controllability with portability.
