Ruger SP 101

[tacoking]

Ruger is my favorite gun, hands down.

Anyone have much experience with the 9mm version? I've been looking for one for a while but have yet to handle one. If so how do you like the moon clips? I've handled the .357 and love the feel. Can't beat a Ruger!

LOVE LOVE LOVE! I even like the appearance more than other makers.

My sp101 is my favorite out of a dozen different pistols I own. even the cons are pros to me. The weight is the only legitimate complaint, and it is a pro if you are shooting .357's. It's a great gun.

I've owned one in .357 for a long time. I can't bring myself to get rid of it, but I'm not quite sure what 'niche' it fills. For me, it's too heavy for an ideal CCW. For open carry or home defense, I just can't see the point in limiting myself to only five rounds. I plan to keep it, but I wouldn't buy it if I had to do it over again.

Probably the greatest small wheel gun in all of history. My next gun, and yes I have shot one many times. I shot that revolver better than my semi autos and a hell of a lot better than my lcr.

I had and traded an sp101 3" for a 2.75 blued speed six. I since traded that for a GP101 3" which just felt better. Now I've gone full circle and want to get another sp101. Probably the 2" snubbie but I won't get rid of the 3" GP. That is a great gun and goes well with my Henry .357 rifle. I love the ruger wheel guns.

...got a .327 SP101 in stainless. Love the flippin' thing. Small to carry and a hoot to shoot.

No such animal as one in 9mm, unless it was previous years.
Currently comes in 22lr, 357mag and 38spl +P

Just bought a used 3" in 357mag, only thing that didn't work for me was the factory grips, put on a Hogue Mongrip and now love it. Factory grips was too small for me.

I believe I recall a 9mm version about 20 years back. I could be mistaken, though.

 

[dbrier]

Yes, they made a 9mm version, but it's been discontinued for some time. You can still find them used, but they cost more than other models.

 

[pmorriso]

I'm might try to make it to the 1500 to search for the 9mm, I haven't had much luck with gun broker. Someday i'll run across one.

 

[draftyranger]

Built like a tank, accurate, I carried one for years. Handles .357 mag well for a small gun!

I have a SP101 as my EDC. I love it.
