About the Ruger SP101 Match Champion

The Ruger SP101 Match Champion is a compact double-action/single-action revolver chambered in .357 Magnum (also firing .38 Special). Built on Ruger's rugged stainless-steel SP101 small-frame platform, the Match Champion is tuned for competition and defensive accuracy with a 4.2-inch full-lug barrel finished with an 11-degree target crown, a green fiber-optic front sight paired with an adjustable rear sight, an optimized double-action trigger using a centering boss and hammer shims, and Altamont hardwood grips. The five-shot cylinder locks at three points for consistent lockup and accuracy.

The Match Champion name links the small-frame SP101 to Ruger's larger GP100 Match Champion, extending Ruger's tuned-for-accuracy revolver line to the compact five-shot platform popular with concealed-carry and revolver-class competition shooters.
