WTS: Early unfired .357 SP101 "125 gr Bullet" marked, Sold

[atlas366]

It comes with a box, manual, regis card and the plastic disk that covers the chambers. I'm not sure if the box is original, I'd call it NIB if I was sure and it does have very light cylinder rotation marks. A really nice solid SP101 from 1991. $500 shipped and insured to your FFL in the lower 48 (we can talk if you're from HI or AK). I accept paypal friends and family or USPS money orders. I know that I'm new here, so I'm happy to furnish references from another board or industry references if necessary. Pics below at link. Thank you.

atlas, According to the Red Eagle News Reference of Ruger Firearms Pocket Edition #2 Compiled by Chad Hiddleson it appears that the box is correct. Ruger also made a 2-1/4 version that had the model number of 321. 331 is correct but barrel is 3-1/16. 8)

Were these early .357’s with the 125gr. marking based on the .38spl short frame?

Yes, they were. The story goes that because of the natural strength of the design, someone talked Bill Ruger into lengthening the chamber to accommodate the longer round. Only later did they lengthen the whole design.
