I'm surprised to hear what people are paying for the new Ruger SP101 .22s. I picked one up at a large local shop for $499 out the door just the other day. As others have said, the DA pull is a little heavy, but not too awfully bad. The SA has some creep before it goes bang. I'd like to see what might be done to fix that up. The gun is accurate and very very sturdy. I had a nice 4" 63 that I bought back around 82. I ended up giving it to my son as it was the first gun he ever shot when he was a little guy. Wouldn't mind finding another one, but am happy with my 6" 617, the 3" 317, and now the SP. I feel I'm reasonably well equipped for rimfire revolver fun!
