The SP101 Model 5718 pairs a compact 2.25 in barrel with a stainless-steel frame and cylinder for a durable, carry-friendly package chambered in .357 Magnum. Its double-action/single-action operation, smooth-faced trigger, and spurred, checkered hammer provide familiar Ruger revolver controls.
Ruger’s triple-locking mechanism secures the fluted 5-shot cylinder at the front, rear, and bottom, contributing to consistent alignment. The barrel features an integral underlug/shroud, and the rifling is a 1:16 in right-hand twist with 5 grooves.
Sight configuration is straightforward and robust: a pinned, replaceable front sight paired with an integral fixed rear trench on the topstrap. A transfer-bar safety is standard. The satin stainless finish is applied to the frame, cylinder, and barrel.
This revolver includes an installed aftermarket rubber finger-groove grip, with the original Ruger factory rubber grip and screw-in panel insert provided in the case. The grip frame accommodates a variety of grips. Ruger eagle branding is present on the frame, and markings note Newport, New Hampshire, USA.
