Ruger SP101 .357 Magnum Stainless 2.25-Inch Revolver, 5-Shot, 1995 Production
This 1995 Ruger SP101 pairs the strength of a triple-locking, one-piece stainless frame with the versatility of a compact 2.25-inch barrel. Chambered in .357 Magnum and finished in satin stainless, it offers proven durability, a transfer-bar safety for secure carry, and recessed five-shot chambers. An aftermarket one-piece black rubber grip replaces the factory panels for improved control.

What’s Included
- Ruger SP101 .357 Magnum revolver with installed aftermarket one-piece black rubber grip
The SP101 is built on Ruger’s solid, side-plate-free frame, enhancing rigidity and long-term durability. Its triple-locking cylinder secures at the front, bottom, and rear, maintaining precise alignment under heavy .357 Magnum pressures.
The 2.25-inch full under-lug barrel keeps weight forward for manageable recoil, while the recessed chambers protect cartridge rims and streamline loading.
A transfer-bar safety allows safe carry with all five chambers loaded, and the exposed, checkered hammer spur supports both double- and single-action operation.
This revolver left the factory in 1995 (serial prefix 572-) and maintains a bright, sharp bore, indicating limited firing. The installed rubber grip provides a secure hold and can be swapped easily thanks to Ruger’s wide aftermarket support.
