Thanks Jimbo - I checked the B/C gap and it is a constant .005 throughout a full cylinder rotation. `At this point I'm going to attribute the binding to operator error - ME. I'm thinking that I must have done a sloppy job of cleaning prior to the last range visit (finding the residue on the...

I had put about 180 rounds of 38's and 357's through my new SP101 over the course of 3 trips to the range and never had an issue. I clean my firearms after every trip to the range. I replaced the factory springs with 10# springs after the first time to the range where I had fired about 50...

I received a 10/22 carbine as a Christmas gift this past year. I've never had a 22 and immediately liked this little carbine - a lot!! My eyes are not great so I put an inexpensive scope on it. Won't mention the brand as I think it was probably worth what I paid ($39 at a big box store). But...

All -Thanks for the info. Kevin, I appreciate your note regarding safe storage. I keep everything locked in the safe and everything (firearms and ammo are also locked-up individually within the safe). Didn't know about cleaning the mags, good info and I will check out the video. Thanks again.

Was going to hit the range the other day and use the Ruger 10 / 22. Loaded up 5 mags (10 rounds each) and then got side-tracked and never made it to the range. The 10 / 22 is new to me and I'm wondering if it is O.K. to leave the mags loaded (in the safe) for what may be a month or more or...

Hello There- I'm thinking that I may carry (concealed) my SP101 (3-inch) from time to time. Any thought on a good holster for this? Thanks

Regarding the look and feel of the "Polymer" - I agree completely but I was at the range the other day with a friend who has one of these and he was firing 45 reloads (reloads bought commercially). He got a "Hot" round that blew the guns side out. He was hurt - both hands - but will be fine...

I just bought a SP101, 3 inch, stainless. I have not fired it yet but will give it a range test along side my S&W M19 combat magnum. These are different guns with the Smith clearly the beauty pagent winner but from what I hear the Ruger is a tank and will not disapoint. I'm looking forward to...

Hello- I just received a gift of a brand new Ruger 10/22 Carbine. I'm new to Ruger and this seems like a great little firearm. Recently I've come to the point where I put a scope on a Marlin 30-30 and I really like it much better now so I'd like to scope the Ruger. The rifle came with a...

Thanks all. I hope to get to the range in the next few weeks and will try lots of different loads. It's good to know that this revolver can handle it all. I should have mentioned that this gun will primarily be for the range and HD. I doubt I'll ever carry it. Thanks again

Thanks for the info - I have a few 357's, my favorite is my S&W m19 Combat magnum that really likes 158's. Guess I'll start with them but I generally use 38's or +P at the range - just a little less expensive. Bought a box of Win. 130 gr. 38 specials. I'll probably try them next time at the...

Hello there- Last night I bought my first Ruger. It's an SP101, model 05719, Stainless with a 3 inch barrel. I'm wondering what the best size rounds are for this revolver. I plan to shoot 38's, +P and 357"s. Any advice will be greatly appreciated
