What is your SP101 preference?

[deac45]

I have a first year 3" .38 Spcl. Probably my most carried, most shot revolver.

4" for me.

 

[WendyZXZ]

We have the one here and it is a favorite:

3" .357.

Wendy, do you shoot it with 38's or 357 mags? Have you tried the Hogues grips. Just curious.

Typically it is a mix. With the newer .38 loads they are great but another favorite here is the short barrel/less than full power .357 loads. We still have quite a few Remington Golden Saber loads and those have ballistics similar to a 9mm load from the 3" of the SP101!

I like both, but prefer the 3". The 3" seems larger than a J frame and smaller than a K frame. I nice in-between trail gun that is still concealable. The 2.25 inch is nice in it's own right. It reminds me of a nice robust Colt Detective Special

My favorite revolver that I HAD (regrettably sold it) was a 3" SP101 with Big Dot sights and Trausch grips.

3" .38 Spl. This was before they made the .357 Mag. Great balance. Painted the front sight with hot pink fingernail polish (borrowed from by Daughter-in-law,not mine). I like the combo of trench sight & colored front sight better than the adjustable rear/front green dot sights on my other two.
4" .22 L.R.
4" .327 Federal Mag. (6 shots)

 

[Three44s]

3" 357 Mag. but since they are fixed sighted my favorite "Sp" is not a 101, but rather a blued Security Six 4".

I would rather have a stainless but at the price of 250 how can I complain?

I like both the 2.25 and the 4.2 in .357

 

[rugerfreak]

Just bought a 2.25in .357---------had a 3in and bobbed hammer versions but neither really worked out--mostly due to the lack of viable holsters at the time.


The new one might not work out either as its already being sent back to Ruger--purchased NIB on 12-31-18 and only dry fired---too dangerous for live ammo-----the hammer pin worked its way out every time I would reset it and dry fire after only 4 or 5 cycles.

Just got these Pachmayr Renegade Rosewood grips in the mail, changed from the Hogue mono grip.

 

[pleadthe2nd]

Love mine, 4.2" in 327 federal magnum, it's amazing how accurate these little revolvers are , even with the 32 s&w long.

Those are good looking grips!
