I sold my GP100 long ago and Longcolt44 made me send him Security six back, so I decided I needed another Ruger. Found this today. A SP101 Kit gun. I am going to put some Wollfe springs in it, but other than that it looks and feels good. I'll see how it shoots when the snow stops.

Good looking revolver

Thanks Jim. Imagine a 1/2 size GP100 and that is what this is like. Plus it's an 8 shot.

Very nice but one question. When did you start shooting outside?



The night is young. I may have some groups by morning, If it were Saturday, you could expect a range report. Colibris at 14 feet.

Very nice. I had one for a little while. Price was too good to pass up. I parted with it and got the .327. You're going to have some fun.

That is a nice revolver. How are the stores up your way fixed for .22 LR?

Thanks. We can get .22lr almost as readily as the old days. I have been going by our local Academy Sports a couple of times a month and buying a box of whatever they had. Last few times I could get bulk packs. I now have a stash that I don't mind plinking from.

That is good news on the revolver and the ammo. I have quit looking for ammo as of late. I am sitting in the parking lot at Walmart right now while my wife gets a few things. Tempted to run inside and check on 22's but honestly I don't need em. I'd rather buy some reloading powder

These SP101 rimfire have not been out too long have they? Couple years or less? Anyway I sure like Ruger stainless. My brother has the single action 10 shot, the Super Single 10.

You can tell I'm excited about your pistol can't you? I keep posting about it. Let me know how the Wolff Spring kit does in this. Should feel like a action job has been done.

I will keep you posted. The wolffe springs made a big difference in LC44's Security Six.

Yes it did, a lot better. I would advise anybody to at least try them out. Wolfe springs are cheap and if it is not to your liking change back.

I'd post some more Rugers for ya since you are so excited but this is Eric's day.

Go ahead. I would like to see them.

All .327's

I didn't know they ever had a .327 GP100. Those are all sweet. It's a bit pricy plinking with .327 Mag isn't it?

I bought that one before prices shot way up on them. A bit pricy yes but it's a fun cartridge. I have a small stash so I'm good for a while.

I was looking for a gun to fit the canoeing/fishing kit gun niche. I looked at the Charter Arms Pathfinder, until I realized that the grip frame on them is made of plastic. That was the deal breaker for me. I just ponied up and spent the extra $ for the all steel Ruger. As some may note, I could have spent even more and come away with a S&W that fills the same niche in more style. This may be true, but in my area new Smith .22s start at about $700, and used ones are unobtainium. I gave up on finding that "barn find" K22 long ago.

I'm sure Russell would agree, you made a fine choice.
