I have been looking at the SP101 for a long time. Finally the stars aligned and I bought one. . .my first revolver. I bought an older Lipseys Target Gray with a 2.25 inch barrel.

Really excited about this! Should be in sometime next week. . .hopefully!

Congrats...nice gun! I put shims on my SP101's hammer and polished the hammer spring rod, replacing the factory spring with a 10 pounder. I also replaced the 10 lb. trigger return spring with an 8 pounder... Tested the mods and the double action is now much lighter and feels more precise, and I can shoot the gun more accurately. The 10 lb. hammer spring by Wolff seems to be the ticket, in my .357 the 9 pounder had the odd failure to ignite the primer, but the ten pound spring was 100%. I'd consider these mods, you'll turn a nice revolver into a great one!
