Description

This Ruger SP101 double-action revolver is chambered in .357 Magnum and features a 2-inch barrel with a satin stainless steel finish. The firearm is equipped with a 5-shot cylinder and black rubberized grips featuring textured plastic inserts secured by a single screw. The right side of the barrel is marked RUGER SP101 over .357 MAGNUM, and the left side is stamped READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL over RUGER NEWPORT, NH USA. The right side of the frame displays the serial number 575-65737 above the Ruger eagle logo. The revolver is accompanied by its original gray plastic Ruger case, a factory instruction manual, a Ruger-branded padlock with two keys, and a factory test fire shell casing envelope with a reported test date of 2014/09/05. Serial-number reference information and the included factory labeling, which lists Model 05718 and Catalog No. KSP-321X, are consistent with 2014 manufacture. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The satin stainless steel finish is in excellent condition, showing very little evidence of handling and only a faint cylinder drag line. The bore is bright with sharp, well-defined rifling. The black rubber and plastic grips are well-preserved with no significant scuffs or wear. The double-action and single-action mechanical functions appear to operate correctly, and the cylinder times and locks up as intended.
