Ruger SP101 Model KSP-321XEN Special Edition Premier
I would not say that this Talo-exclusive Ruger SP101 is quite my taste, but I can see the appeal.
It has a standard 2.25" barrel. MSRP is $1,095.

The engraving looks like etching in that photo.
I’ve never liked Ruger’s grips.

0Ruger has always been a gun you could count on no matter what you had done to it and the 101 is a good example. By far not the prettiest but a good working gun no less. I know I used to have one till the times got a little ruff and had to sell it. But as far as the scrolling goes seems a little to much, maybe they should of just kind of high lighted it but the grip are what sets it off to me.

0I’m not much for engraving either but I like it. I’m with MB Wolf as they coulda been a little more reserved. I’m partial to the SP101 anyway as I carry one every day. 2.25 DAO.
Yes they are working guns. Yes they are built like safes but I don’t think i’d go as far as calling them “beater guns”. No they aren’t as refined as others but to blue collar guys like me, a 500.00 gun is a weeks pay and something we’re quite proud of. We love em and care for em as some would care for their 3000.00 custom 1911′s. Just a thought.

0Sadly it is to my taste. Is it so wrong to want at least one over the top ornamental gun? I even liked the Benito Juarez 1911 you had earlier.

0The engraving is so strange and random, that I thought I was looking at a heavily scratched revolver at first.
I’ve always considered the SP101 to be a ‘beater’, a good truck / boat / toolbox gun that you could stash somewhere for emergencies. Seeing it ‘duded’ up just seems wrong.
Oh well, maybe the same people who spend $60,000 blinging up a Chevy Pick Up will be the same who buy this Ruger.
