Ruger SP101 Revolver
Best versatile revolver for shooters seeking reliable, comfortable personal defense.
This small-frame revolver offers impressive versatility by chambering the potent .327 Federal Magnum while remaining compatible with milder rounds. It is built like a tank with a triple-locking cylinder, though that rugged, all-steel construction makes it heavier than modern polymer alternatives for everyday carry.
