The SP101 DAO configuration uses a spurless external hammer and double-action-only operation, providing a smooth draw with no hammer spur to catch. The triple-locking cylinder and transfer bar safety are core Ruger features designed for strength and consistent lockup.

The five-shot fluted cylinder operates on a swing-out crane with a push-button latch. Chambered in .357 Magnum, this revolver also accepts .38 Special ammunition, offering flexibility at the range.
Finished in satin stainless on the frame and cylinder, the revolver includes rubber grips with decorative scroll-pattern inserts and the Ruger phoenix logo on the frame. Overall length is 7.20 in, and unloaded weight is 25 oz.
