UPDATE: Sight SOLD! I recently had a customer desire to switch out his Meprolight front sight on his Ruger SP101 to a Big Dot. The mepro was literally on the gun for one week. It is in perfect condition already pre-drilled and ready for you to install on your SP. All I need from you is $50 which will cover shipping. So, if you have been curios about a new front sight on your SP101, you might take advantage of this one. BTW, this money goes...
Ruger SP101 327 Federal
We recently did another Ruger SP101 in 327 Federal. This gun got the whole package and the bobbed hammer. If you haven’t read up on the 327 Federal cartridge, you might find it interesting. Recoil is manageable and you get a 6th shot in the SP101 platform.
The Blast Process
We bead blast finish a lot of the Ruger SP101’s that come through our shop. Most of the time it is a cosmetic choice for the owner. There is something about having a satin finish on those guns that is really fantastic. You could possibly make the argument that their is tactical nature to the finish as well since the gun isn’t so shiny, but that is a debate for the gun forums. Sometimes there is a blemish that can be corrected by...
Trausch Grips for the SP101
Recently had a customer request some grips from a French company called Trausch Grips. I had never heard of them, but I must say I am very impressed. They are larger than the Badger boot grips and the regular Ruger SP 101 grips that come standard with the gun. The Grips are very, very snug on the gun. In fact it can be a work out the first time you put them on! Since the SP 101 is really not a pocket gun because its weight, I think these...
Hornady Critical Defense 38 Special + P
I recently had the opportunity to test out a newer ammo from the guys at Bulk Ammo. They are a company that services shooters through competitive prices, and as the name implies the more you buy the better the prices become. Steve sent me some of Hornady’s new Critical Defense 38 special +P. This ammo is specifically designed as a defensive load. Since most of the work we do is on wheel guns used for duty and protection it seemed like...
S&W Bodyguard Revolver
The S&W Bodyguard 38 is a new venture for Smith in their revolver product line. No doubt it was influenced heavily by the Ruger LCR. I guess what I find most interesting right now is that Smith seems to be a little behind on the development of new things. The Bodyguard and the Governor are both following other manufactures ideas. One might argue that it is better to be late if your product is better in quality, but I have not shot the...
