So, I've had this revolver a few months now. Brand new the cylinder jammed and it went back to ruger.
Came back fitted and finished like a custom shop gun.
I replaced the grips with hogue to give me more holding power. The little ruger grips with the stiff trigger pull was not a good match for me.
My son and I shot about 500 rounds through it. This helped with a massive smoothness. It became much easier to shoot accurate. Also the effort to pull the hammer back was better. When new that hammer would wear your thumb out.
I happened to go to Salt Lake City through Ogden. Impact guns is in Ogden where Terry Gardner works as the gunsmith. He does SP101 action work. So I decided to drop off the little ruger with him to see if he could get it any better.
Wow! Better is an understatement. Stock springs remained but the action is so smooth and with a brilliant single action pull that has no creep or roughness at all. It's likely about 3lbs or less. Comparing to other single action guns it's as good as any if them. Including the pull and break over of my freedom arms 83.
Double action is still rimfire stiff, but smooth as functionally possible. What an improvement! This little ruger is just perfect now for what it's intended for. The sp101 properly set up has been a great surprise.
