^^^Nice. Did you replace the front sight yourself or did you have it done? Did you have to replace the pin or could you reuse it? I don't know how Ruger got those pins so flat/contoured with the stock sights. That sight is the one I am looking at getting for mine. One more thing if I could, what kind of wood panels are those? Very pretty. | |||

Not to derail, but has Ruger ever said why they will not make a 6 shot .38 special SP 101? | |||

Note on the 327 Federal Mag...I have the Ruger version...love it although I am not a revolver fan in general (also have an older SP101 .357). The .327 mag with a 2” barrel has about the same recoil as a .38 special, but also has particle blowback that peppers your face...WEAR SHOOTING GLASSES! | |||

One more question, did the replacement sight need to be drilled for the pin? What size punch and bit did you use? thanks. | |||

Sounds like your cylinder may be out of alignment. I'd have the gun checked out. | |||

All this talk about the Ruger SP101 has caused me to dig out one of my .357Mag versions, load it with .38+P, and to put it into the lineup of my CCW. --------------------- DJT-45/47 MAGA !!!!! “Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur.” "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it." — Mark Twain “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” — H.

Are the Pachymar grips longer than the Hogue rubber grips? ========================================== Just my 2¢ ____________________________ Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right ♫♫♫ | |||

I always thought that if Thor carried a pistol instead of a hammer, it would have been an RUGER SP101. But this is 2019, so Thor would also have to consider a KIMBER K6S with six rounds. The DAO are really nice, but the new DASA version should be outstanding. I'm retired and owe no one an apology for my personal opinions. | |||

Have you looked at the Kimber K6s? I don't think anyone can consider a non-lightweight snubby defensive revolver without considering this. If nothing else, it gives you another round. And I think it's actually smaller. | |||

It is a TALO edition and came with the black cerakote. _________________________ Sometimes good people have to do bad things to bad people to prevent bad people from doing bad things to good people.

I don't think so. I never cared for the Hogues on my Rutgers, but Pach Diamond grips are a perfect fit for my admittedly small hands. _________________________ Sometimes good people have to do bad things to bad people to prevent bad people from doing bad things to good people.
