Ruger SP101 - Ten Days From Now

[Srbenda]

Or something like that.

I filled out the hand-cramping paperwork today at MSAR, on a stainless .357.

It looks like a nice gun, and seems to have overall excellent reviews.

It did cost more than the comparable Taurus, but I think that's a long term investment that will pay off.

I just got mine on monday, hoping to test it out on saturday. I got the 3" barrel version, I'll let you know the range report on it.

Despite the gritty trigger, I like mine alot. I plan on working on mine soon, see post #23 of the following thread:

There must be some "I need to buy a Ruger this week" stuff in the water.

I actually compared the trigger side by side with a Taurus 605, and the Ruger was much smoother. Of course, maybe it's gritty compared to a S&W.

Very nice aquisition. As always, I suggest the relativly cheap Wolf spring job for that particular gun. Smoothes that trigger out nicely.

Great choice...can't wait for the pics

Got mine this past July, 2.125 version. Fun little gun and congrats.

Mmm... I need a revolver....

I think I was there a few days before you...I saw it in the counter, but didn't quite have the money for it. What was it? 400?

Yes you do.

You wheelgunners are pushers.

You wheelgunners are pushers.

It's worse than that, I'll let you shoot mine, I'm also an enabler.

Great choice, but you'll want to get a hogue or pachmyer grip, though.If you run out of its 5 shots, you can use it as a club.

nothing like a good old 357. you got to love them. I got my eye on one but the way the economy and a baby girl, it's going to have to wait.

How much does MSAR charge for that transfer?

Just got an SP101 in .38sp with the 3" in October, paid $275 for the gun (they only come in stainless finish which is great looking). 5 years ago I had sold my last snubbie, a Taurus 85 which I couldn't shoot well due to the grips not filling my hand properly. I highly recommend the Crimson Trace Lasergrips, although expensive they are a great upgrade to the grip size and work amazingly well. Only thing about Lasergrips though is the cleaning of the lens after a range session is a pain in the butt, but well worth the fun of one big ragged hole in a target without even really aiming . Would be easy for home defense too when you don't or can't use the sights or traditional shooting postures. Just my .02.

How'd you get it for $275?

I'm curious if they have another one at that price.
