Funny thing, I was just reading a writeup in Guns & Ammo magazine about this revolver while my oil was being changed on my Ranger. It wasn't much of an opinion as much as it was Ruger decribing their gun. They made a big deal about how tight their bore is and how that makes it more accurate. The problem with the Ruger Single Six barrel is that it is a bit large for regular 22LR ammo so that it can accomodate the 22 mag ammo.
This SP-101 looks pretty good. I'd love to see some honest range reports on it.

Just got this info from Ruger. I'd probably still take a S&W 617, but this is a whole lot cheaper.

Finally. They will sell the hell out of that.
The first handgun I ever bought was an SP-101 in .357 magnum. It's a tank. I've always liked it, and I've still got it.
It should be a neat little kit gun. I love the SP101 in other calibers, although some find them to be a bit heavy for their size. That has never been an issue with me. They should see a whole bunch of these.

Didn't Ruger make a double action SP101 .22 cal revolver years ago then discontinue it ?
You know now that you mention it, I think you are correct. They also made them in 9mm (I used to have one of those) and .32 H&R Magnum.
Nope the Ruger website says it's neither MA or CA compliant at this time.

What a load of poop. Don't get me wrong, the entire EOPS thing is nonsensical at least and asinine to the core, but revolvers should just get a pass. How many loaded chamber indicators does one gun need?

I don't think so. S&W revolvers keep their value pretty well. I've got two 22 S&Ws, a 617 and a Model 18-4 and the quality in these two guns is excellent.
The SP101 22 has been around for quite a while. They are also very expensive.
Ya im just saying this is not a new design, its just a re-release of a model that already exists. I shot a 22lr SP101 about 10 years ago.
Hi Guys, sorry to resurrect an old thread, but do you guys know any shops that have these available? I've been looking for a .22 revolver for a while. I considered the LCR .22, but I rather have a DA/SA. Thank you in advance.

MFS had a real nice used one recently at a very fair price but sold it before I could get up the money. I'm still crying over that one that got away.

Bought mine at Four Seasons so they would be worth calling. Collector's in Stoneham shows one in stock.

I bought a ruger sp 101 in .22 for my daughters first pistol a few months ago. The pistol is a tad heavy buy fits her hand well. The pistol shoots dead on, she likes the sights. The only thing we will change is the hammer and trigger springs. I love my smith mod 63 and carry it fishing and camping all the time it is lighter than the 101. However the 101 at the range is steadier due to the weight than the smith.
