What’s Included
- Ruger SP101 .357 Magnum revolver (3 in, brushed stainless)
- Installed Hogue Monogrip black rubber grips with finger grooves (aftermarket)
The SP101’s 3-inch barrel with a full underlug provides a balanced profile in a compact package. Its brushed stainless finish on the frame, barrel, and cylinder offers a clean, uniform look and the corrosion resistance associated with stainless construction.
This revolver is double-action/single-action with a smooth trigger face and an exposed, checkered hammer spur for controlled cocking. The five-shot fluted cylinder uses Ruger’s triple-locking system and is released via a left-side push-button latch for positive, repeatable lockup.
Sights are fixed and simple: a pinned, ramped front blade paired with an integral rear top-strap notch. A transfer-bar safety system provides mechanical safety between the hammer and firing pin during carry and handling.
Ergonomics are enhanced by the Hogue Monogrip black rubber grips with finger grooves. Additional details include the Ruger phoenix logo on the frame and investment-cast stainless steel construction, all made in the United States. Year of manufacture is 1994.
