The SP101’s alloy-steel construction is finished in blue, including the frame, cylinder, and barrel. The full underlug fully shrouds the ejector rod, and the solid one-piece frame design omits a sideplate for added rigidity. The five-shot fluted cylinder uses Ruger’s triple-locking system for secure lockup.
This revolver is double-action/single-action with a spurred hammer for confident control. Sights are fixed, combining a pinned, replaceable ramp front sight with an integral trench rear. The transfer-bar safety provides reliable protection against accidental discharge.
The compact 2.25-inch barrel, 7.20-inch overall length, and 26-ounce weight make this SP101 easy to carry while remaining shootable. The rifling uses a 1:16 right-hand twist with five grooves. It is chambered in .357 Magnum and also accepts .38 Special.
Enhancing control and feel, this example wears an aftermarket textured laminate G10-style one-piece grip with finger grooves and a black/gray swirl pattern. It is cataloged as Ruger model 15702 and dates to 2019 production (serial prefix 576-).
