Ruger is aiming at the competitive shooting market with its new five-shot SP101 Match Champion revolver.

Chambered in .357 Magnum but capable of accommodating .38 Special, the SP101 Match Champion takes the traditional SP101 to the next level with its 4.2-inch full-lug barrel for quick transitions between targets and an 11-degree target crown; chamfered cylinder and a custom Altamont hardwood grip with stippled and checkered sides. It also features polished internals and centering shims on the trigger and hammer, resulting in a smooth double-action trigger pull, Ruger says.

The SP101 Match Champion also boasts a fully adjustable rear sight along with a fiber optic front sight, giving the shooter a clear sight picture for plates and targets. Meanwhile, the polished trigger guard allows for smooth and consistent shooting.
