Congratulations I have no regrets on buying my 3" Sp101
Those that have the monogrip , do you have the rubber or the nylon model ? I imagine the rubber would be better for recoil and the nylon might be better for CC because your clothes wouldn’t stick on it . Any opinions on them ?
plainsdrifter , I hope that I am not hi jacking your thread on your new SP101 . I just thought we could get some good firsthand advice in your thread , with all the people using the monogrip here instead of me starting a new thread about it .

I think they make them in 9mm again. Then there's always .38.The SP revolver may be the finest DA revolver Ruger has designed yet. It makes the perfect carry gun if you want to go rotary and once you go rotary you'll never go back. I am not a big fan of the caliber but the gun is just about perfect.
Or get some Altamonts...View attachment 1017674View attachment 1017675
Probably one of my most carried guns. I live in a very low threat environment.
I live in the high desert and, I like exploring. One speedloader full of 158 GR hardcasts. One with rat shot. Should solve any problem I’m likely to come across.
I carry appendix, the shorter barrel works better for me.
But, if I carried on my hip, the 3 inch rocks.
(shout out to Sack Peterson for the stag inserts. I had a set for 6 months, the left panel developed a split. I asked if I could buy a left grip panel. He sent me a replacement set, no charge. I told him I’d mention that every chance I got. Outstanding craftsman and, businessman)

Yup, blingy speedloaders from 5 star. They make cool stuff. http://www.5starfirearms.com/Chiappa-Rhino-Bedside-Block-Kit-p/cf35706310.htmWho makes those speedloaders?!!!!? Wow!!
And the 6 shot .327 Fed Magnum.I think they make them in 9mm again. Then there's always .38.

Yeah, the thread evolved into grips and then speedloaders. hehehehMy first carry revolver. The gun is a little tank but is better suited for 38 Special. My current SP101 is 327 Federal...one of the older 3" with rear sight and windage. I am carrying it now as a regular in summer rotation.
Looks like the thread is more about grips. We're like that.
Agree 100% there Dan.I love how easily the SP101 comes apart for cleaning. This combined with its stainless construction makes it a really rugged revolver well suited to the south Florida climate I live in.
I don’t need to worry about sweat or salt spray getting on it. I can always take it apart and give it a distilled water rinse which I have don’t before.
The SP101 is the Makarov of the revolver world. Of every revolver I’ve ever owned it is my favorite. It’s the perfect balance of size, weight and ruggedness.
I keep a 2” gun chambered in 9mm in the metal locking vault of my truck. It stays there all the time.
I also have a 3” model in .32 magnum. The 3” barrel is the perfect barrel length and overall balance.
The only place they are lacking is in the sights. But I see Ruger is slowly introducing newer models with real sights.
Those are my random thoughts on the SP101.
