The SP101 in .22 LR holds 8 rounds in a cylinder sized to the rimfire cartridge. The 4.2-inch barrel provides excellent accuracy for plinking and small game hunting. The SP101 frame is substantially heavier than necessary for .22 LR, but the weight aids in slow-fire target shooting. This is Ruger's entry into the DA .22 LR revolver market with a gun sized between the tiny LCR and the full-size GP100. Type: Revolver Action: Double-Action Caliber: .22 LR Capacity: 8 Year introduced: 2013, USA Weight: 34 oz Overall length: 9.1" Status: Active Intended use: target, plinking, training, small_game
