The Ruger SP101 in .38 Special +P (MPN 5737) is a compact double/single-action revolver built on a triple-locking cylinder for carry and home defense duty. Ruger finishes the 2.25-inch barrel in satin stainless, fits black rubber grips shaped to soften recoil, and includes a transfer bar operating mechanism so the revolver can be carried safely with a fully loaded cylinder.
