Ruger Chambers 4.2-inch-barrel SP101 in 357 Mag

(GunReports.com) -- Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) has announced a new Ruger SP101 five-shot revolver chambered in the venerable .357 Magnum cartridge and featuring a 4.2" barrel with improved sights.

"The SP101 has been an extremely popular small frame revolver since its inception in 1988, but it has always featured a short barrel and minimal sights," said Chris Killoy, Ruger Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

"This new version is a quality .357 Magnum small frame revolver with a longer, full shroud barrel and improved sights that offers the shooter a better sight picture, longer sight radius, and additional weight to better control recoil. I am confident enthusiasts will find that this 4.2" .357 Magnum is a great all around centerfire revolver that remains true to classic SP101 styling," he said.

The beauty of the SP101 is that it is a small frame, easily concealed and carried .357 Magnum. I love mine, with its' snub barrel, but I have difficulty getting excited about a four inch version. If I wanted a four inch revolver, I'd likely opt for a K-frame Smith, that gives you six shots instead of five. I have an old pre-1970 Colt Trooper that fits the bill very nicely with six shots, so why do I want to cut my capability down to five shots?
