I own a target grey sp101 chambered in 357 . I am wondering how to price this revolver if I decide to sell it ? Is this a rare sought after item or is it valued more in line with a standard stainless model ? approx. how many were produced ? thanks in advance for any info you folks can offer.

That's a lot of questions! A few pictures of said gun would be helpful.

Welcome to the Forum!
Production figures are not released by Ruger. SOMETIMES,,,, we do get data from a distributor about special runs to where we have a pretty good idea as to how many are made.
Condition is also paramount. If it's an uncommon or rarer model,, condition become extremely important to a collector. A NIB gun or a slightly worn one,, or a well used shooter all have different levels of value. Pictures can help us decide. And,, what you may think is an "excellent" condition gun may actually grade as a "used shooter" to another person. Proper grading is also necessary.
Having the complete package, (box, & all paperwork etc,) for the them makes a difference.

A picture of the end label on the box will help.

I cannot speak to the rarity, but AFAIK Ruger only applied the target grey finish to stainless guns.

The gun is stainless and the "finish" is actually a process of tumbling in a media that creates the color. The finish was designed to be rugged and glare free. I have collected most of the handguns that were made with that technique. Still looking for a super Redhawk 7 1/2 in 480 to complete the collection.
