I just bought a new Ruger SP 101 .22 lr from the good folks at SSP today.

Before I forget, SSP is just a top-notch store. I don't say this just because of their pricing approach (which is very good). It's just a good store. Clean with courteous people working there. The owners have a very smart business model going. I've bought either 4 or 5 guns from them and will likely buy more as time goes on. I've sent two of my friends there, both of whom came home with grins on their faces.

OK, back to the issue at hand. I was looking for a rugged .22 which could handle lr, shorts, shotshells, whatever and that I could haul around in my vehicle with no concern about environment. I think I found it. It goes along well with it's 9mm brother

I'm thinking I'm gonna like it. It's the one with the 4" bbl.

I bought one about 6 months ago.

Admitedlly, the trigger pull is heavy and stiff but still it is an amazing shooter and FUN.

I can sit at the bench at Lexington and bounce a soda can around every time, all day long from 15-20 yd range.

It's one of my favorite guns now.

I've done every thing but shoot it. I'm a wuss, so I may not get out in the heat, chiggers, and ticks for a while. Man, I wish we had a range down here.

Thanks. I was a S&W fan for years and have owned several. Still consider them top notch. I may have been a snob, because I never so much as held a Ruger in my hands. Ran into the 9mm locally, checked it out carefully and realized it was a quality piece. Same for the .22. And, less expensive than the S&W.

Only issue I have is that there are virtually no scope mounts for the .22. But, heck, I probably wouldn't buy one if I could find it. The irons are very good.
