It's $450 shipped from Bud's. All you'd add to that is your FFL's transfer fee.

Awesome, thanks.  Any FFLs on this forum in SE Michigan?  

EDIT:  That's a cash discount price.  Damn.

If you go through the checkout at buds, they have a list of FFLs they already have on file.  You should take a look and see what ones are local to you.

Bud's has always been accommodating for me. They have given the advertised price when paying with VISA debit over the phone. You can hit them with a check or a money order if you don't mind waiting a few more days as well.

Edit:
Bud's FFL list here: http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/ffl.php

You can always use your FFL of choice if it isn't listed though.

SWMBO's 2.25" .357 has had a trigger job per the "IBOK" (no longer avail.)from Ruger Forum and a Gemini fiber Optic front sight. I love thet little gun! Carry it IWB or OWB in a pancake from Simply Rugged w/ Inside  out straps. I consider myself somewhat recoil-sensitive (whimpy?) but anything less than full-house 357 are pussycats in that gun. The weight is a drawback for carry but a plus for shooting.

I'd love to have one of the .22's!!

Stay safe.
Bob

Sorry, pic are on the other computer.

Speaking of SP-101 revolvers...

Last night, I pulled the rubber stocks (as Jeff Cooper called 'em) off mine. Inside one of them was a copper pin, about 1/16 inch diameter and 5/8 to 3/4 inch long. It sits in a recess just made to hold it.

What the heck is it?

Also, the cylinder turns quite stiffly. I tried to get a bit of CLP down the shaft to see if it would loosen up but... It has lubricant on the shaft but it's a heavy sort, causing stiffness.

Is there a way to remove the cylinder (for an amateur) and clean out the lube?

The pin is for disassembly.  Here is a vid about it.  You can skip ahead a couple minutes to skip some intro stuff.

It is called the disassembly pin, as seen on page 19 of the manual.  You use it to block the mainspring strut during disassembly.

The real pros throw the pin away to save on weight.

Or they are like me and lose the pin (security six, not sp101 but still).  I replaced it with the base of a broken drill bit.

My 6" security six came without a pin. I tucked a safety pin beneath the base of the grip frame and the trooper grips and use it for the same purpose. The trigger on mine is screwy and needs to see a gunsmith but the modular design of the internals is great.

Just wanted to pop in and add a +1 to the favorable comments about the SP's big brother the GP100.

My GP100 (w/Wolf springs) is an absolute joy to shoot.
