Thought I'd share pics of my new ruger sp 101 .357.
Plan on using for short/t-shirt summer carry.

Haven't shot it yet, snow just now melting, should be able to get out soon.

I like the grips!!!
nice revolver, they shoot really well, not as much recoil as you might expect from a short barrel gun.
what does it have Newport, NH?...thought they were built here in AZ
What a shame they rollmark that obnoxious warning on the barrel!
Mine says "Sturm, Ruger & Co Inc." instead of "Ruger", and has "Southport, Conn. USA." Same cal/barrel/sights. Purchased 12/07.Quote:

Was wondering that myself, I thought they were made in connecticut or somewhere else. Would love to know? I picked it up at the Kittery Trading Post in Kittery, Maine.Quote:

I believe bottomfeeders are made in AZ and wheelguns in NH. I think corporate HQ is in CT.

what is this "snow" you speak of?
Its been 80 all week here....
Now I have to go out and buy one! Seriously, I recently was in the market for a revolver for my wife to have access to at home. She doesn't like the semi-autos and has trouble working the slides.
I originally wanted her to try the Taurus Model 627, .357, from their Tracker line. I couldn't find one any where. Was in Gander Mountain in Fredericksburg and they had a used Ruger GP 100 in the case. I had also considered the SP 101 and thought, "how different can they be?"
I bought her the GP 100 and she shot it very well out in the back yard. From about 7-8 yards she put nearly all of her first 12 into the paper plate I put up as a target. Now I see your SP 101 and how much smaller, and presumably lighter it is. All I can say is I was seduced by the price - $276 plus tax and a couple boxes of shells.
Nice pictures, thanks for the post.
