I went back to the SP 101 in .357 Mag!Kind of like getting over the fact that it may be a .300 Winchester Magnum, but it’s still just a .30 caliber.I recently got the 4″ barrel version. Really good sights, seven rounds instead of five or six. Its bullet-proof, or even bomb-proof, nature was a part of the purchase decision; I know if it ever requires factory service, Ruger techs will “improve” it back to factory spec.Still, for concealed carry the stats on revolvers are pretty poor – 25% hit rates, IIRC, and that includes trained police.

However, based on your stated requirements and criticisms of the SP101 I suspect that there is not one gun to unite them all. The grips are identical. Great gun have shot several thousand rounds through it and without any problems. My goal in recommending a gun for a first time shooter is keeping it as SIMPLE as possible. $695  FFL req Excellent throughout showing little use. I have NEVER had a revolver with fixed sights which I couldn’t shoot on point with commercial ammo with more than adequate defensive accuracy. My 3″ has some nice aftermarket inserts from Chig’s. Furthermore, when you stop to think about it, that exposed hammer AND three inch barrel ARE NECESSARY for those, ‘longer shots’ the author CORRECTLY RECOMMENDS women to make when confronted by an equally well-armed (and closing) dangerous attacker. It has... (read more) NOT that an SP-101 would fire, anyway!

. Sadly, it’s not a tack-driver for accuracy, but it certainly fulfills its role for self-defense. .38 Special Ruger, SP101, Double-Action Revolver, 22 LR, 4.2" Barrel, Satin Stainless Finish, Stainless Steel, Black Rubber & Engraved Wood Grips, Adjustable Rear & Fiber Optic Front Sight, 8Rd BRAND NEW IN THE BOX AND READY TO SHIP! Actually, initially had to do a “double finger” pull but as hand strength developed. It’s a rock-solid winner that most people are actually going to be able to hit the target with! My woods loads are a 180 gr. I have been packing heat since around 1967 and I have shot all manner of semi-autos but I still prefer the revolvers for simplicity, accuracy, and reliability. Terrific!I just bought one of these guns last night but mine has Crimson Tide Laser Grips on it which appear to be factory installed as they have the ruger crest on them. Nothing seemed to work, yet nothing appeared to be out of spec.Finally, I bought a brass crown polishing tool from Brownells and some 600-grit silicon carbide paste from Midway. I am going to work in Amarillo for a while and am picking up a 6 shot .38 snubby (Taurus). Think Semi-automatic handguns are far easier to shoot accurately than double action revolvers. Galco S2118B Scout 3.0 Ruger SP101 2.25" Steerhide Natural w/Bl $ 71.20 (1) HKS 32J Speedloader Revolver Ruger SP101 Taurus 73, 74, 731, $ 7.77. That why you get trigger jobs. This would be the person who has been around guns alot but still only has a passing interest and knows they will only have a gun for the chance that something goes bump in the night and they can grab it from the sock drawer. Inexpensive, police trade-ins readily available on the used market, good trigger, low recoil, and plenty durable.I’ve owned a 3″ SP101 for about 15 years. The 2″ barreled model is not a pocket gun per se as it is a tad larger than a j frame but if you choose your clothing carefully and dress around your weapon there is no problem with concealment. If you equip a SP101 with both, you’re good to go with the front sight only when the batteries fail in the CT grips (as mine have).For those of us that are old school and don’t speak modern day Swahili.Im a skinny guy at 135lbs & the Simply Rugged Silver Dollar holster with IWB bolt on accessory conceals the SP101 .357/3″well.Great review. Sure, they won’t hit much, but voila! Grips: get the Hogue nylon or rubber one instead; much better.
