The SP101 Match Champion is built on Ruger's stainless steel frame with a five-shot stainless cylinder and exposed hammer. It is chambered in .357 Magnum and is compatible with .38 Special ammunition. The action is double-action/single-action and uses a transfer-bar safety.

Match Champion enhancements include a tuned action with polished springs and a polished hammer strut, plus trigger and hammer shims and a smooth trigger face. The cylinder features chamfered charge holes for streamlined loading, and Ruger's triple-locking system secures the cylinder at the front, rear, and bottom.
