Ruger SP101 SNUBBIE

[jeepster09]

What is the opinion of a Ruger SP101 hammerless stainless snubbie? I have a guy that wants to trade me one for a scope that I don't use.
The scope is A equal value Trijicon RMR.

Sounds like a no brainer to me...................I would put a full hammer back on, they are just butt ugly with no hammer..............nice little firearm though........

I like the SP101. I'm not at all familiar with the hammerless version.

Now he added a choice of an New LC9 NRA version with 8 boxes of ammo or the Ruger SP101? hmm WHICH ONE?

Looks very nice. Like brand new. I'll add a set of SP101 grip inserts to my to do list.

I forgot to add the ones from the last person. I'll have to research and see who that was. The minds a terrible thing to lose, also the minds a terrible thing to lose.

Who wants cake?

Hands down SP101 to me. The LC9 does kind of go with your color scheme but doesn't appeal to me like your others do.

get it. I am real pleased with my sp101 snubbie although I prefer the hammered version. Not a deal breaker though. I really like Ruger revolvers and rifles but I've never been able to warm up to their pistols (with the exception of the 1911). Not sure why so I'd pass on the lc9 but that's just me.

I ordered a spring kit for the sp101 awhile back but haven't gotten around to doing a trigger job. The stock trigger is pretty stiff (about 14lbs I believe in DA) and a little gritty. I haven't shot it enough to wear thru the grit. I might just take it to the gunsmith to get it done and done right. Regardless, I still recommend the revolver even with the stock trigger.

And yes it's pretty stout when shooting 357. I practice mostly with 38 and save the magnums for SD. But I wouldn't let that stop me. The upside is that you have the choice...

I'd do it.

I've had a 2 1/4 hammerless and still have a 3" hammered SP101. I think they are fantastic revolvers and prefer them to the Smith Jframes all steel. No side plate access and beautiful workmanship.

The triggers are long and stout, but a good trigger job can do wonders for these.

I vote DO IT. SP101

I'm partial to Smiths, but that is one nice looking Ruger wheelgun; forget the LC9 and learn to love double action.

I have trouble making up my own mind let alone yours. Go with the flow. See if he'll give you both guns for the sight.

greedy? I like your thinkin'

Ok, here's the perfect solution. Send me the SP101, have him give you the LC9, give him the sight!

It's a win / win perfect solution. I should get a Nobel. Lord knows the standards are low enough these days.
