The Ruger SP101 9mm Stainless Revolver features a satin stainless finish, 2.25-inch barrel, and 5-round capacity. This revolver features a smaller Ruger cushioned grip system with no exposed metal at the back strap for shooter comfort. The patented triple locking cylinder mechanism securely locks the cylinder into the frame at the front, rear, and bottom, while its stainless steel frame has no weakening side plates.
The gun is equipped with an integral rear sight and a black-ramp front sight. The SP101 is equipped with Ruger’s patented transfer-bar setup, which protects against unintended discharge and adds another level of safety. The revolver features a 1:16-inch right-hand rate of twist, optimizing accuracy with 9mm Luger ammunition.
Due to the rimless design of the 9mm cartridge, the Ruger SP101 features a recessed cylinder that aids in the use of moon clips for loading the revolver, with ready-to-fire rounds pre-loaded into the moon clips allowing for fast and easy loading of an empty cylinder, and the moon clips keeping spent cartridges together for ejection in one smooth motion—each Ruger SP101 in 9mm ships with three moon clips. Compact and dependable, this is an excellent choice for personal protection or training.
