Ruger SP101 is a double-action revolver chambered for .22 LR, designed as a precise yet rugged platform for training and recreational shooting. The construction is based on a stainless steel frame, providing high durability and long service life even under frequent use.
The revolver operates in a double-action mechanism (DA) with a standard exposed hammer. A transfer bar safety system provides an enhanced level of protection against accidental discharge.
The barrel measures 4.20" (107 mm) and is cold hammer-forged for durability and accuracy. It features a 1:16" RH twist rate, optimized for .22 LR cartridges. The sighting system consists of a fiber optic front sight and an adjustable rear sight, improving visibility and target acquisition speed.
The cylinder has a capacity of 8 rounds and uses a triple-locking system (front, rear, and bottom lock-up) for strong alignment and consistent operation shot after shot. Ergonomics are provided by cushioned rubber grips with hardwood inserts, enhancing comfort and grip stability.
In terms of dimensions, the Ruger SP101 weighs approximately 30 oz (850 g), has an overall length of 9.12" (232 mm), and an 8-round capacity, making it a durable yet manageable revolver suitable for training and precision shooting.
