The SP101’s investment-cast stainless-steel construction provides a durable platform with a consistent brushed/satin finish across the frame, cylinder, and receiver. The compact size pairs with a 4.2 in barrel and full underlug for a balanced, controllable feel without sacrificing sight radius.
Ruger’s triple-locking cylinder and coil-spring lockwork complement the DA/SA action, delivering the robust lockup and smooth operation this series is known for. The five-shot fluted cylinder maintains strength while keeping the profile streamlined.
The sighting system is practical and flexible: an adjustable square-notch rear sight and a pinned, easily replaceable green fiber-optic ramped front sight. The serrated barrel rib and serrated topstrap aid visual focus along the sight line.
Controls and ergonomics include a smooth-faced trigger and a spurred, checkered hammer. The black rubber grips with checkered hardwood inserts offer a firm, repeatable hold. Safety is handled by Ruger’s transfer-bar system. This example was manufactured in the United States, in Newport, New Hampshire, in 2014.
