Went to pick up my Wiley Clapp edition found out someone had come to buy it, but I already did. I also was going to order an SP 101 and they had 2 in stock that had just come in. 2.25 inch 38 Spl. So I bought one of those too. I will post pictures later in the week.

There's my two cents.

Sp101 a fantastic choice

I strongly recommend the sp. The "3" in is perhaps the most versatile revolver in existence. Ccw,home defense, trail, hunting, plinking, It will do it all.

I have the 3" in 357 and love it. Yiogo

Where did you get the black laminate grips? Very nice and look great on the stainless.

For what it's worth, an SP is what I use for my BUG when on duty. It is a solid performer, no worries at all. Heaven knows, I need to have SOMETHING reliable to back up that piece of junk Sig they make me carry on my hip....

My SP 101 has the Crimson Trace laser grip/sight on it fron the factory. It is a nice compact revolver.

Best small revolver made .... bar none.

I've had my SP101 for a few years now and still love to shoot it. It's a 2.25 in Barrel .357 . Great little gun !

Can't beat a SP101.

The only thing better than a SP is a GP.

I have the 2.25 in. DAO version. I added Pachmayr grips.

Do I like it? Yessir. Small with a big punch and yet controllable.
someday I'll get a 3".

Of the many Rugers I own, I can tell you I have three SP's a 22LR 4", 327 Mag 3" and a 357 Mag 2" all great firearms. Also have the LCR in 22 and a LC9 All of which have been problem free.

Nope, they are not OK. They are very good, and after you throw the Wolff springs in they are awesome.

I have the SP101 in .357 with a 4.2" barrel.
When I got it the grips were to small for my large hands, the trigger was rough and heavy and the cylinder hung up in slow DA mode to the point that it was impossible to pull the trigger with any control...
THAT BEING SAID
Hogue grips made the revolver fit my hands much better.
A couple hundered rounds smoothed out the cylinder hanging up so it is completely gone. A home done trigger job and Wolff hammer spring smoothed out and lightened the DA trigger (SA was always fine) and now I love this thing. Different animal now.
