What’s Included
- Ruger factory hard case with matching label (Catalog KSP-331X / Model 05719)
- Ruger SP101 instruction manual
- HKS 36 speedloaders
- Extra SP101 grip insert panels (black, with screw)
- Ruger factory data/specification card (grooves/twist: 5 R.H.; 1 in 18.75")
The 3" barrel uses a full underlug with a full-length ejector-rod shroud, giving the SP101 balanced handling and robust protection for the ejector system. Ruger’s triple-locking cylinder (front, rear, and bottom) enhances alignment and strength under magnum pressures.
The DA/SA action with an exposed hammer provides flexible operation. A transfer-bar ignition system adds an additional layer of mechanical safety without changing the trigger characteristics.
Sights are fixed and straightforward: a pinned, replaceable ramp front sight paired with an integral rear trench. Factory grips are black rubber with wood insert panels for a secure hold and classic appearance.
The stainless-steel frame and cylinder wear a satin stainless finish for durability. Rifling consists of 5 grooves with a right-hand twist, and the bore uses a 1:18.75 RH twist rate tailored to .357 Magnum/.38 Special loads.
This example corresponds to Ruger catalog KSP-331X and manufacturer part number 05719, and was made in the USA in 2014.
