First tried paint, then fiber optic and ended up putting a Meprolite on a 2" SP101. Normally shoot Sigs with night sights so this looks very normal to me. Do not have a good picture of it but very happy with it. Not too big or too small, looks almost factory. Comes un-drilled and must be...

Had the same problem with a Mark III Hunter recently. Would fail to eject one or two rounds every mag. Tried several different boxes of brands and all had problems every magazine or two. Instead of sending bact to Ruger tried replacing the extractor with the Volq. exact edge and not a single...

Used to shoot a Ruger SP101 and recently picked up a S&W 340 M&P to lighten up a little. Anyone put a set of Hogue wood grips on their J-frames. I was thinking I might like something just slightly longer than the short rubber that comes on the centennials. May just end up with the longer CT...

Was in Little Rock, AR Federal Building recently and noticed the security at entrances had revolvers. Did not get in any detailed discussion with them but the grips looked like Ruger GP100's. They all had the old style rubber grips with wood inserts. These could have been contract security...

Just aquired this combo for a 4" GP100 but do not have a photo. Got the checkered version and they were very quick shipping to me. Wanted the adjustable rear sights and wanted the small grip for smaller hands. Also have the old Ruger compact grip that came on the 3" versions and kind of like...

There are quite a number of posts on Sigforum.com on these pistols. Most seem happy with them but posts seem to indicate some suppliers have pistols in better condition. Give it a look.

I see this book recommended multiple times and noted that it is currently out of print. Just to be sure I'm looking at the right book if I find one what is the current edition and author. Barnes and Noble seem to show several different editions and authors under the same name search. 5th...

I have the 2" barrel 357 in the spurless hammer DAO version. I find it plenty accurate out to 15 yards for self defense. The SP101 is available with Crimson Trace laser grips stock that are very slightly larger than the stock grips but not as large as the Hogues. I personally like the size of...

Also after much searching found a description on this forum for the SP101 trigger smoothing. Its considerably less detailed than the IBOK but both originated from Iowegan. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=258599&highlight=sp101+trigger After reading it you may appreciate what...

One of the gunsmith's on the Rugerforum.com named Iowegan has a writeup on smoothing trigger actions on Ruger GP100 and SP101's. Document is called Iowegans Book of Knowledge. Document is fairly large but he will email you a copy if requested.
