The Ruger SP101 357 Magnum delivers reliable stopping power in a compact frame built for demanding applications. This 4.2-inch barrel model combines the versatility of .357 Magnum/.38 Special capability with Ruger's proven small-frame revolver engineering.
What Makes This Different
The SP101's investment-cast stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to blued steel alternatives.
