Ruger SP101 Pistol, .357 Magnum, 4.2″ Barrel, 1.75 lbs.

The Ruger SP101 is a heavy-duty, double-action/single-action (DA/SA) revolver known for its exceptional strength and durability. While the SP101 series is famous for its "snub-nose" variants, the 4.2-inch barrel model is designed to maximize the ballistics of the .357 Magnum cartridge while remaining portable enough for trail use or home defense. Ruger utilizes a solid steel sidewall frame with no side plates. This design allows the revolver to handle a steady diet of full-power .357 Magnum loads that might "shake loose" lighter revolvers.
