Bangkok, Thailand special :wink: .

My apology, some how I missed your statement about them, I must be blind!

That said, I have two sets of grips for my 2 Taurus M327 2" from the same place in Thailand, and they are just great, the best I have found so far.

Just something about the styling of those grips that matches the Ruger lines.

No need to apologize :) .

I love the style of the grips too. Didn't want "combat" grips.
The wood is proud around the trigger guard though.
The little wings that come forward near the trigger extend too far also.
If I sand them down, I worry about matching the finish.

They are still very comfortable in the hand, and I love the look.
I sent the gun in with a Hogue grip, and when it came back put these grips on the gun.
It really changed the look. I think the color goes great with the matte finish.

The thin at the top, and thicker full square-butt at the bottom, reminds me of older S&W revolver grips.

...The only thing I would have left alone was the hammer job .

You know, I didn't even notice that bobbing the hammer was part of the package. After getting the gun back I really like it now. With the lighter hammer spring, and slicked up action, shooting double action is much better now. It's nice to have the single action option, but honestly I never used it.

And you can laugh, but it looks sweet bobbed!

I had Marc at Gemini do my SP101 up with the same package, but did not want the skeletonized trigger guard, as I pictured something snagging on it at an inopportune moment.

Gemini also does custom grips now (wicked pricey!) and I had them do me some boot grips in Cocobolo.

Everything about these Gemini SP's is right on!

Front sights...I need HELP ! ! !
I've decided I need new front sights on both my 2" and 3" SP101's.
jjmIII = Ok, Meprolight on your SP101. How do you like it?
Bob_R = What brand of fiber optic front sight do you have on your's?
WheelyFun = What type of sight is that on your's?
Any & All advice/suggestions on front sights for SP101's greatly appreciated!

The front sight on my Gemini SP is Gemini's own Gold Bead front sight.
Very easy to pick up in low light.....and looks great too!

They are both using sights from Gemini.

I'm using a night sight from Meprolight.

They run around $55 most places.

The Meprolight front sight is a pretty big dot. I line it up with the bottom of the dot level with the bottom of the rear sight channel. This leaves the dot half in the rear channel and hits POA nicely.

Finish ream and hone cylinder chambers .357 mag, .38 spl. 9x19mm, $30

So now you can shoot 9mm out of this gun?

If so, that's neat!!

No. I wish! They charge $30 for those calibers.
SP101's used to come in 9mm.
