Ruger sp101

corvidae

Is there any rhyme or reason to the pricing on the auctions? I've been looking at the SP101 2 1/4 357 new, and everything I see is priced higher than 3 out of 3 local gun shops. Add Shipping to a FLL and their cost.. Way more... All I see is the reserve is equal to SELL NOW price... No Deals? Why have it at auction?

Anyone have any good ideas on tuning up an out of the box ruger sp101 in .357? Srpings? Grips? Trigger job?

Thanks!

All of the above. [:)] Ruger's triggers are almost always too heavy, and they will admit that it's a liabilty consideration. They can be made much better by a knowledgeable 'smith.

I put Wolff springs in mine, made a huge difference. Considering a trigger job to see how that can improve it.

What weight springs did you buy? How do you like 'em.


I know nothing.

Is it difficult to install Wolff springs in a SP101 ? What all do you have to do ?

I agree with Darkstar. Wolf springs are the best. Theit trigger spring kit was easy to instal and gave me choices in trigger pull weight. I ended up with the 14 lb. spring for total reliablity.

I went with the 11 lb main spring and the 8 lb trigger spring.

I also replaced the factory stocks with Hogue rubber Monogrips, and I like them as well. All replacements were very easy to install. These simple changes have made it a better shooter than the day it left the factory, but I think a good 'smith can further improve it.
