The SP101’s stainless-steel frame, cylinder, and barrel wear a satin stainless finish for durability and a clean, uniform look. The full underlug 2.25 in barrel provides added weight forward, and the triple-locking cylinder enhances alignment and lockup.
Sight configuration is straightforward and robust: a fixed rear topstrap groove paired with a green fiber-optic front blade. The front sight is screw/pin-retained, allowing easy replacement if desired.
This compact SP101 is chambered in .357 Magnum with a five-round cylinder and is also compatible with .38 Special ammunition. The action is double-action/single-action, and the spurred hammer supports deliberate single-action work when needed.
Factory ergonomics include a one-piece black rubber overmold grip with laminate insert panels. Additional details include the manufacturer’s part number 05718, production year 2022, and U.S. manufacture. The package is rounded out with the original Ruger hard case and two extra grip components.
