_________________________________________
The Ruger SP101 is a compact, double-action revolver designed for personal defense and law enforcement backup carry. It was introduced by Sturm, Ruger & Co. in 1989 as a robust small-frame revolver with a solid steel construction.
History of the Ruger SP101
Introduced in 1989, the SP101 was developed as a stronger alternative to other small revolvers on the market, particularly Smith & Wesson’s J-frame.
Built with a solid frame and no side plates, the design enhances durability and recoil management.
Originally chambered in .38 Special, later versions introduced .357 Magnum, .22 LR, .327 Federal Magnum, and 9mm Luger.
Designed as a concealable yet powerful revolver, it became popular among law enforcement and civilian concealed carriers.
