The Ruger SP101 isn’t winning any popularity contests in 2025... but maybe it should be. With a few smart upgrades, this chunky little revolver proves it’s still got serious potential beyond everyday carry. We're taking a fresh look at the SP101 lineup, from modern mods that unlock its best features to often overlooked models like the .327 Federal Magnum and .22 LR variants.
Hard to beat a good Ruger for reliability. Bocephus had the emblem on his guitar strap. Love a Redhawk.
ReplyDeleteRoger that! Along with all the other Ruger revolvers. I have a 1986 (bought new), 3", GP100 in fixed sight configuration. With fast stepping 125 gr hollow points, it will keep all the rounds in the kill zone at 60 paces, leaning on ford truck hood. It's oh so handy that point of impact and aim, coincide.
ReplyDeleteI regret horse trading away my previous Security and Speed Sixes (5 or 6) of the past.
Have owned two of them. Both were Stainless Steel double action only in a .357 cartridge. One went to a long time Vietnam helicopter friend friend that passed away a few years. The other was stolen many years ago. Need to buy another one but the cost has really gone up. Carrying a slightly used Glock 17 with no regrets!
