At long last, something new
At long last, something new
I sold my GP100 long ago and Longcolt44 made me send him Security six back, so I decided I needed another Ruger. Found this today. A SP101 Kit gun. I am going to put some Wollfe springs in it, but other than that it looks and feels good. I'll see how it shoots when the snow stops.

Good looking revolver 
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Re: At long last, something new
Thanks Jim. Imagine a 1/2 size GP100 and that is what this is like. Plus it's an 8 shot.

Re: At long last, something new
Very nice but one question. When did you start shooting outside? 
The night is young. I may have some groups by morning, If it were Saturday, you could expect a range report. Colibris at 14 feet.

Re: At long last, something new
Very nice. I had one for a little while. Price was too good to pass up. I parted with it and got the .327. You're going to have some fun.

Re: At long last, something new
That is a nice revolver. How are the stores up your way fixed for .22 LR?

Re: At long last, something new
Thanks. We can get .22lr almost as readily as the old days. I have been going by our local Academy Sports a couple of times a month and buying a box of whatever they had. Last few times I could get bulk packs. I now have a stash that I don't mind plinking from.SA1911a1 wrote:That is a nice revolver. How are the stores up your way fixed for .22 LR?

Re: At long last, something new
That is good news on the revolver and the ammo. I have quit looking for ammo as of late. I am sitting in the parking lot at Walmart right now while my wife gets a few things. Tempted to run inside and check on 22's but honestly I don't need em. I'd rather buy some reloading powder

Re: At long last, something new
These SP101 rimfire have not been out too long have they? Couple years or less? Anyway I sure like Ruger stainless. My brother has the single action 10 shot, the Super Single 10.

Re: At long last, something new
You can tell I'm excited about your pistol can't you? I keep posting about it. Let me know how the Wolff Spring kit does in this. Should feel like a action job has been done.

Re: At long last, something new
Yes it did, a lot better. I would advise anybody to at least try them out. Wolfe springs are cheap and if it is not to your liking change back.millman wrote:I will keep you posted.

Re: At long last, something new
I didn't know they ever had a .327 GP100. Those are all sweet. It's a bit pricy plinking with .327 Mag isn't it?

Re: At long last, something new
I bought that one before prices shot way up on them. A bit pricy yes but it's a fun cartridge. I have a small stash so I'm good for a while.millman wrote:I didn't know they ever had a .327 GP100. Those are all sweet. It's a bit pricy plinking with .327 Mag isn't it?

Re: At long last, something new
I was looking for a gun to fit the canoeing/fishing kit gun niche. I looked at the Charter Arms Pathfinder, until I realized that the grip frame on them is made of plastic. That was the deal breaker for me. I just ponied up and spent the extra $ for the all steel Ruger. As some may note, I could have spent even more and come away with a S&W that fills the same niche in more style. This may be true, but in my area new Smith .22s start at about $700, and used ones are unobtainium. I gave up on finding that "barn find" K22 long ago.
