Constructed entirely of stainless steel with a brushed finish, this SP101 delivers the corrosion resistance and durability associated with Ruger's compact .357 Magnum line. The full underlug and ejector-rod shroud add mass at the muzzle and protect critical components.
The revolver uses a double-action/single-action system with an exposed spurred hammer for deliberate single-action work when desired. Ruger's transfer-bar safety is integral to the design, and the 5-shot, fluted cylinder employs a triple-locking system for secure lockup.
Sighting is straightforward and robust, with fixed sights consisting of a pinned ramp front and an integral fixed-notch rear. The rubber grip with molded insert panels provides a firm, consistent hold.
Made in the United States, this example aligns with Ruger's KSP-321X catalog configuration and is paired with its Ruger factory hard case and manual. The combination of a 3-inch barrel, DA/SA action, and stainless construction makes this SP101 a strong, no-nonsense .357 Magnum package.
