Ruger sp101.22

[getfoxy]

Is this gun not out yet? I've checked buds, whittakers, etc, can't locate one or a release date? Anyone got the skinny?

They're out, demand is just out running supply right now.

Dang, I want one bad.

I've handled one at my local gun shop. It's nice but not nearly as sweet as the S&W Model 63. I own a SP 101 in .357 and it's nice but again my S&W 640 is nicer. The grip on the SP101 .22 is so-so. I thought it was a bit too small personally. YMMV.

I have an older S&W M63 and it is an absolute honey. If I were in that "kit gun" market again and couldn't lay my hands on a nice older S&W M63 then the new Ruger would be getting a very serious look. I haven't seen one in person, but from all accounts I think they'll be nice little guns and very useful.

My local shop has one, pretty nice, though not a true beleiver on the Fiber optic sights just yet, but ive been wrong before.

if you like sp101s then you will like this. Tempted to get one myself to add to the family but just cant do it yet.

Kal. What's the price on it? That's what I haven't found? Same as a regular sp101?

The one I saw was around $480 IIRC.
