Ruger sp101 3 inch 357 magnum

[mikestripe]

Any one know if any dealers have a good selection of revolvers for sale, like to find a good sp101 used one in 3 inch, I have a GP100 in 4 inch that I love.

nice little revolvers, a little on the heavy side... it seems as though the local shops here are getting darn near new price out of what few used guns end up on their shelves ...

I stumbled across mine late last year when passing through Dubois Co.
Got it "used", but a guy had bought it for carry, then traded it unfired for an XDs when he thought the Ruger to be too heavy.

I don't see that model on the shelves very often, and they don't seem to stay long when they do show up.
Luck in your search!

I just purchased one last year. Great gun. A little heavy but great for backpacking..

I traded a DAO SP101 earlier this year and really regret it. I've tried to find a replacement and there's nothing there on the used market.

i had one a few years ago and traded for a speed six. I then traded the speed six for a 4" GP100 and like you I love it! Then last month I came across a used sp101 3" for sale on Ingo and bought it. Now I have both and love them.

dupe.

A good used one can cost as much as a new one these days. The SP 101 3" is an accurate and fun to shoot revolver.

Great revolver. Previous posts are correct, used ones bring close to new price. Find one and buy it, don't hesitate. They are in demand for a good reason.

I would love to find two of these...one for my wife and one for my daughter. Definitely 3".

I was able to purchase one from Joe Bobs Outfitters online for I think $475. Even with the FFL Transfer fee my overall price was cheaper than any used ones I could find locally. Hope this helps.

ARMSLIST & Gun Broker.com has lots of them listed. I remember when the SP101 was released to market in .327 and was surprised to find one at the Indy 1500 Gun & Knife Show. I think I paid around 500.00 at the time. I love the gun. It's one of my favorites. However, I don't feel the same about the SP101 in .357/.38 Special. I think it's a little light. I would rather have one of the Six Series Ruger Revolvers (Security Six, Speed Six , Service Six) with a short barrel. It's about the same size and a tad heavier. I see them at the local stores and the prices are crazy. I've seen used ones with tags of 585.00. Go to the Indy 1500 next week and you'll find one.

Dave's Gun Shop in Holland (Dubois Co.) has a couple. Mint,near new used for $420 and a NIB for $495. Both are 3" barrel guns.
I was there yesterday, these have been there for weeks.
