    SP 101 Match Champion

    Don't let the model moniker SP101 define its purpose. I didn't purchase this handgun as a defensive handgun, but rather as light weight field handgun. If a 4.2" GP100 can make a 50 yard shot at a deer, take out a snake at 5 feet, and then a rabbit at 25 yards, I can assure you that an SP101...

    No I didn't . The amount it was off made adjustment a moot point. Even if I had been able to pull that amount of windage to the left at 50 feet, there wouldn't be any adjustment room at 25 yards.

    Just received an RMA #. After my email instructions, off she goes.

    SP 101 Match Champion

    It took a while for me to get to the range, but I did make it yesterday. I stopped by Wal Mart, and picked up a Value Pak of .38 Special. I realize this isn't premium grade ammo. But in this case, it's the grouping that counts. Target 1 depicts off hand double action at 21 feet. Target 2 is...

    Ruger 44 carbine value

    I sold one for $300 about 25 years ago. Just never warmed up to it.

    SP 101 Match Champion

    - just a rough action, small burr. I lubed and worked the action. I have worked the action now for over a thousand cycles. I've dry-fired a lot also. The action is getting smooth. I hope to get to the range this weekend. I'll detail strip, clean, and put some white lithium grease on it...

    SP 101 Match Champion

    I appreciate all of the advise (that's sarcasm in case you aren't catching it), but I think I have it handled. I purchase from brick and mortar and online. My purchase of the SP101 was an online purchase. I paid shipping to get the handgun to my FFl. I would have had to have paid for...

    Notice any similarities? I just picked it up today. Look closely at the trigger.

    New SP101 MC on its way

    I just ordered an SP101 MC in .357 over the weekend. I was looking for a good OWB concealment holster. This is not my primary carry, when I do carry, but something for the woods/field/kick-about. I am mostly interested in kydex. Any recommendations based upon the above would be appreciated...

    New GP-100 revolvers in 327

    I just picked it up a few minutes ago. The DA is a bit heavy as expected, but smooth. The SA doesn't feel more than 5 lbs., don't have a gauge. There is very little over travel, which is nice. The grips feel great in the hand, and it's a great looking revolver. The grips are darker than they...

    Purchasing an SP 101

    What I normally do while traveling when I find a firearm I really want is to make the purchase, and have the firearm sent to my favorite FFL holder. I pick up the firearm when I get back home.
