1989 1st Year Production Ruger Model SP101 in .38 Special
** Very Lightly-Used Beauty **
Description: This is a very handsome and lightly-used Ruger SP101 revolver chambered in .38 Special that was made in 1989, the first year of production for this model. The SP101 was first introduced in 1989 and remains in production even today, a production run of 32 years and counting. The long production run is a testament to superb design and commercial appeal of this small-framed revolver. The SP101 was designed as a scaled-down, more concealable version of the famous Ruger GP100. It has been offered in various calibers and capacities, as well as 4 different barrel lengths during it's production run. What has always remained the same is the high-quality build of the revolver, and it's superb reputation as being an extremely reliable and accurate revolver. This 1st year production example is chambered in .38 Special and features a 5-shot cylinder, a 4" inch barrel, and black rubber grips with grooved green plastic inserts. It has been lightly-used but well cared for, and the mechanics are in perfect condition. The stainless steel is still bright and clean, showing only some very minor and scattered handling/storage marks. All of the factory stampings are still crisp and clean, and the bore is bright and pristine. The 5 chambers are the cylinder are equally as clean and free from imperfections, and the star at the rear of the cylinder shows no damage or marring. The original factory grips on this SP101 are really cool and in excellent condition. You don't see this type of factory grip very often, as they were only used for a short time in early production. Both of the green plastic inserts are free from any cracks, chips, or repairs, and the black rubber surround is free from any tears, chunking, or visible wear. The action on this Ruger is smooth, slick, and perfectly "in time" no matter how the gun is operated, and all of the controls are in perfect working order. This SP101 is not even "broken in" yet! We have no doubt that it will function just as well today as the day it left the factory 32 years ago. If you have been looking for a cool vintage Ruger revolver to add to your collection, this .38 Special SP101 would be an excellent choice. Not only should it continue to be a great long-term investment, but as long as it is well cared-for it could be enjoyed at the range or used for home protection without feeling guilty.
