The Ruger SP101 has a deserved reputation as one of the toughest small-frame revolvers ever built — Ruger's investment-cast stainless frames are famously overbuilt, and the SP101 handles a steady diet of full-power .357 Magnum in a way that lighter competitors simply do not. The extra weight that makes it durable also makes magnum loads genuinely manageable.

The Match Champion is the enthusiast's version: a slab-sided, half-lugged 4.2-inch barrel that trims weight forward, a slicked-up action, adjustable sights for load development, and Hogue grips. It's a fine woods-carry and range revolver, and it points and swings noticeably better than the standard SP101. Five-shot cylinder, stainless throughout.
