Description
Ruger SP101 Double-Action Revolver
Ruger® SP101® provides magnum firepower in a small-frame Double-Action Revolver meant for concealed carry. Built with a solid stainless steel frame, with extra metal where it's needed, the SP101 also serves well for field carry while fly-fishing or backpacking in the backcountry. The angle of the SP101's peg-style grip frame, with its cushioned rubber grip that has no exposed metal in the backstrap, makes shooting the sidearm comfortable and extremely controllable for a gun of its size. To withstand recoil from heavy 357 loads, a triple-locking cylinder is locked into the frame at the front, rear, and bottom so it stays aligned without getting sloppy over time. The Ruger SP101has a smooth double-action trigger pull, and a clean, crisp break in single-action. The low-profile front sight of the SP101 facilitates drawing the sidearm from a concealed carry holster or pocket without snagging, and is pinned to the heavy top rib of the barrel, making it simple to replace. The rear sight is milled into the solid topstrap, and will never get knock out of alignment or interfere with drawing the weapon when the shooter is in a hurry. The solid frame of the SP101 has no side plate, and the revolver disassembles into integrated subassemblies with no tools, aiding to ease of maintenance in the field. As with all Ruger Double-Action Revolvers, the SP101 features the patented Ruger transfer bar mechanism that provides an unparalleled measure of security against accidental discharge—the revolver can be dropped directly on its hammer and will not fire without the trigger being pulled all the way to the back. The Ruger SP101 Double-Action Revolver is a solidly built sidearm that you can count on in both urban and outdoor environments. Made in USA.

SP 101 revolverGreat gun. I bought the 4.2 inch barrel with a great discount at BPS. I bought it mainly for it's lighter weight for backpacking. It's great for personal defense with .38's and well able to handle 180 grain .357's for the woods. The only problem I've had is that the rear sight cotter pin will shift after multiple rounds fired at the range. Overall, it's a great little revolver.

Wonderful companionI have this in 4.2 inch 357.The grips and trigger were not the greatest but changing them out was so easy. Wolf trigger and hammer springs went in and the grips were replaced with Hogue mono grips. My goodness, what a difference. I am hitting an eight inch gong at 100 yards with what I call amazing regularity (my brother calls it annoying). It rides in a simply rugged silver dollar holster and I can hardly tell that it is there. I used to carry a Redhawk for my fishing pistol but that thing just about wore me out. This is a gun you will not regret having on your belt on all day hikes. It has the power and accuracy to handle pretty much everything in my neck of the woods. The barrel length makes it legal for hunting in my state and the overall size allows it to be concealable in a pinch. You will not go wrong with this pistol.

Nice little revolverI bought the .327 magnum version. I really like the versatility of this gun. So far, I have only shot .32 H&R magnums out of this revolver as they are much more readily available.
The factory grip is attractive, but far too small for me to shoot comfortably. I don't think that my hands are all that big,and replacing the grip fixed that issue.
The trigger is not nearly as light, smooth, and crisp as a Smith and Wesson revolver, but this gun is considerably less expensive.
Would be an excellent gun for a shooter with smaller hands who is sensitive to recoil.

Target shooting fun.I had previously rented the S&W 686 revolver at my local gun range and wanted to add a revolver to my range bag in addition to my .22 for shooting targets.
Ruger makes a great solid .357 in the SP101 (long barrel, fiber-optic sight). The wheel flips out with an easy push-button release and the single-action trigger pull is light and crisp. The rear sight adjusts elevation and windage quite easily with a small flat screwdriver. The weight and balance is good--it absorbs the recoil of a .38SP or .357mag round quite well.
The two factors that would have earned this a five-star review was the Ruger plastic case included--it doesn't hold the SP102 securely and appears to accommodate a .45 with a longer barrel. The other factor is the included grip--rubber with walnut inserts--the grip is about 1/2" too short and I replaced it with a Hogue monogrip that accomdates the last three fingers of my hand properly. The shorter barrel model includes such a useful grip--many other owners have left feedback on other forums to advise Ruger to make this small change in their offering and I agree.
Overall, it's a fun and precise shooter that is easy to maintain and a pleasure to shoot--and a fraction of the S&W 686's pricetag.

Great Gun with a hang-upThis is my second review on the gun the first was prior to shooting it. I changed this from 5 stars to 4 only because after firing, the spent rounds seem to be a little stuck in the cylinder. I had to force them out. I thoroughly cleaned my gun and will go to the range in the morning. I'll let you know how it goes. Otherwise I love the gun.

I Had High Hopes, I mean, it's a Ruger!I purchased the .327 Magnum w/4.2" bbl. I was impressed w/the features, like really fantastic sights, which is why I eventually swallowed what I thought was a high price and tried it out. Ruger's reputation for absolute reliability also helped seal the deal and I had high hopes for this gun.
Right out of the box, it was impossible to clear normal factory327 Magnum rounds from the cylinder after firing without having to use all one's strength holding the cylinder rod against a padded surface to get the sticky cases out. This was with a clean cylinder. After shooting 25 rounds, it was at the limit of my fairly strong hands to clear the cylinder.
Even worse, the cylinder would bind in double action shooting w/factory Federal AE .327 ammo! The rim of the case would bind against the bolt face!
I went home and thoroughly cleaned it looking for loose/rough parts and went back to the range for another 25 rounds and the same problems persisted. It shoots great w/.32 Magnum ammo, but is not functional w/.327 Magnum ammo. Too bad, it's a nifty little package and the .327 has just enough power but not too much. Clearly, this gun is not up to .327 Magnum pressures.
I probably would have forgiven poor accuracy (it actually shoots pretty accurately) or a poor trigger (it has a HORRIBLE trigger), as I assumed a Ruger would work no matter what. If it doesn't work no matter what, why settle for bad aesthetics, bad trigger, etc. And it wasn't cheap...

PerfectPurchased the SP101 in 357 with 2.25 barrel. I like the heavier pistol, well balanced. Also have the KP 161. Can't beat the quality. 38 has low kick, 357's no problem either. Highly recommend.
What are all the different types of ammo that this .357 Magnum gun can fire?
Thanks!

I’d like to know the trigger pull weight of each of the three models of the Ruger SP101 so that I can determine the difference with its double-action system. Even the specs from Ruger website do not list this info in their online manuals and documents.
Asked by: SuziQ13
Thank you for your question.
For in-depth information like this, I would recommend speaking to Ruger directly, as they should have the information you're after in-house even if it's not on their website. They actually have a few different points of contact, but you can view them at this link:

I hope this information helps!
