Ruger J frame equivalent?

[Conn AK]

Never owned a Ruger until 3 semi auto purchases in the last 3 years. Has
does Ruger make a compact J frame-type 5 shot 38 like S&W?

LCR is closest in size and weight to most J-frames.

SP-101 is just slightly larger and just a bit heavier. Mine will fit in some J frame holsters.

Same Don Hume holster... my SP101 trigger guard was the only part that had to be pressed firmly into the leather but other than that... wasn't much different than my 640 'Centennial'

I have nearly the same holster. Mine was made for the SP101. It is a little loose with my S&W M37 and my Taurus M94, but not bad. I am not crazy about the clip-on holsters, they move around too much. The SP101 is several ounces heavier than the other 2 and likes to tilt forward all the time. The lighter ones do not move nearly as much.
Being a cheap so-and-so, I have bought several holsters with clip-ons, and like none of them. The nylon holsters with the plastic clips are the worst of the worst. Whatever gun you buy, buy a good holster for it. You, and your gun, will be happier.
