The SP101’s stainless steel construction extends through the frame, barrel, and cylinder, all finished in satin stainless. Its compact profile combines a 2.25 inch full-lug barrel with an approximate overall length of 7.20 inches and a weight of 26 ounces for a sturdy, well-balanced feel.
The revolver features a triple-locking, fluted 5-shot cylinder and a solid, side-plate-less frame. The DA/SA action uses a smooth trigger with an exposed spurred hammer and Ruger’s transfer-bar safety system.
Sight setup is straightforward and durable: a pinned, replaceable black ramp front sight pairs with an integral fixed rear channel. The black rubber monogrip with black synthetic panels provides a secure hold.
Rifling is 5-groove with a 1:18 RH twist, as noted on the included factory spec card. This example is part number 5718 (catalog KSP-321X), made in the USA and manufactured/shipped in 2015.
