Ruger SP101 3 1/16 now what.

I have a large gash on the second joint of my trigger finger. I will file the trigger guard smooth. Im definately changing grips just have decided Pachmayer or Hogue

Yeah, the Hogues are money well spent. Feel around for rough edges on the back of the triggerguard - something has to be cutting you. A snubby .357 can have pretty sharp recoil, but not so sharp that it should be cutting you.
I'd also suggest you lay hands on some speedloaders before too long and maybe a Simply Rugged holster.

From experience, it's not the trigger guard. It comes from the trigger itself. If you unload your pistol and pull the trigger and hold it there then look where the trigger goes into the frame you will see that the shape of the trigger has a point on the right side and as recoil of the 357 happens that point is digging into your finger. I haven't tried to remedy it yet but I see some filing and polishing coming soon.

Mine doesn't have any point or sharp edges there, but it could be a slight defect on yours. If that's the case, send it back to Ruger and ask them to check sight regulation while they have it. I will be really surprised if you don't get it back totally fluffed, buffed, and basically as smooth as a classic S&W.

I have a 3" with the hogues, I did the wolff springs and didn't think it helped much, but it's an awesome handgun. I've shot some pretty hot loads in it with 180 xtp and 180 hard cast, it's a powerful little weapon...love it.

How does recoil compare 125 vs 158. I carried my sp101 today in a cheap uncle mikes aiwb and wow I like. I've ordered wolff springs and pachmayrs because I normally carry in a tshirt with no cover shirt. Figure get some edges cleaned up and smooth some stuff out and install springs and grips and this joker will be perfect.

I smoothed out the back of the trigger with an emery board and then hit all of the sharp edges on the rest of the gun CAREFULLY with a dremel, finishing up with some Fitz metal polish on the outside parts.

Took some work but was well worth the time.

" I don't mean to insult you but why would anyone buy Ruger and send it to Gemini when they can get Performance Center 627 for less?"


Maybe for these reasons?

I recently called Ruger customer service. They were totally accommodating and helpful; willing take my SP101 back to correct an issue and repair at their expense w/ one week turn-around. I'm just sayin'.
