Product Overview
The Ruger SP101 .357 Magnum revolver is engineered for discerning individuals requiring a robust, reliable, and versatile handgun for defensive applications, duty carry, or rigorous field use.

Its compact 3-inch barrel configuration, combined with an adjustable sighting system, optimizes it for both precision engagement and ease of carry, offering a balanced solution for practical utility.
Key Features
Robust Construction
The SP101 features an all-stainless steel frame, cylinder, and barrel, precision-machined for exceptional strength and resistance to corrosion and wear. This monolithic construction contributes to the revolver’s significant mass, effectively damping felt recoil from the powerful .357 Magnum cartridge and enhancing operator control during rapid fire sequences.
Caliber Versatility
Chambered in .357 Magnum, this revolver provides substantial terminal performance. The design also permits the use of .38 Special ammunition, offering reduced recoil for training, plinking, or scenarios where lower power is advantageous. This versatility allows operators to select the optimal ammunition for specific applications without compromising reliability.
Optimized Sighting System
This SP101 variant is equipped with adjustable rear sights, allowing the operator to fine-tune point of impact for different ammunition types and engagement distances. Paired with a robust, integral front sight, this system facilitates precise shot placement, critical for effective use across varied conditions.
Ergonomic Design
The revolver’s grip frame is designed to integrate seamlessly with various aftermarket grips, allowing for operator-specific customization to enhance control and comfort. The integral frame construction minimizes flex, ensuring consistent lock-up and contributing to the revolver’s overall durability and accuracy potential.
Reliable Action
Operating in both double-action/single-action (DA/SA) modes, the SP101 delivers a consistent and predictable trigger pull. The double-action mode provides a deliberate pull for safety and controlled engagement, while the single-action mode offers a crisp, lighter break for precision shots.
