Hogue Ruger SP101 Rubber Monogrip

I recently purchased a Ruger SP101 3" .357 and the stock grips are very hard plastic/rubber that can become very uncomfortable to hold/grip after some time or even a few hot .357 loads so I decided to buy these as they were very highly reviewed.The Hogue grips are extremely comfortable, they have finger contours for added comfort and this makes shooting the Ruger SP101 much more pleasureable without a doubt. A Must buy for the Ruger SP101.Hogue rubber grips are molded from a durable synthetic rubber that is not spongy or tacky, but gives that soft recoil absorbing feel, without affecting accuracy. This modern rubber requires a completely different molding process than ordinary neoprene and results in a much superior grip. The material we use does not come apart or deteriorate and is resistant to all solvents and oils used around firearms. Hogue Grips give you a lasting precision fit and durability that will provide years of dependable service. The flexibility of our materials and molding process has allowed us to produce superior rubber grips with features that out perform all other makes.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!-------------------------------PROS-------------------------------* Price Price Price Price* Build Quality* Comfort/Ergonomics* Rubber to better handle/grip-------------------------------CONS-------------------------------* None, they are awesome!

I recently purchased an SP101 2.25" and was having trouble with getting a proper grasp. I'm about 5'10", my fingers are relatively long and thin, so with a good tight grasp on the stock grip the trigger was in the middle of my second phalange. My pinky always ended up dangling off the end of the grip even though my hands are not particularly wide. Managing recoil with 38 HP 110gr wasn't terrible, but 357s of any kind were hand-numbing and difficult to get back on target. I saw similar complaints online, so I decided a grip replacement was in order.Installing this grip only took a few minutes, including removing the old one. The adapter and pin went on the frame easily. It was a little tight to slide up the frame, took a little wiggling to get the adapter lined up in the grooves, and the rubber wanted to catch on the hinge pin tab so I had to walk it over. All-in-all, maybe five minutes. The grip mates nicely to the frame, feels tight whereas the stock grip seemed a little wiggly by comparison. Looking at it you'd think it could just as easily be stock unless you already knew.After taking it out shooting a few times, I can say the Hogue grip makes a world of difference, and is a fantastic value for the price. It properly fills my hand, my trigger finger ends up hitting the trigger on the last phalange correctly, I can get a full grip with my pinky, my hand aligns better so the hammer is easier to pull back for SA, DA trigger pull is steadier, recoil is much easier to control with hot 357 loads and doesn't leave my hand buzzing.Overall my range experience (as much range as you get with a snub nose) has improved significantly since upgrading with this grip. This may as well be considered a necessity for the SP101, unless you have very small hands in which case the stock grip may work for you.

Perfect fit, very comfortable.

Have a Ruger SP101. Trying it out in the store was surprised that with my small hands my little finger was mostly off the grip. Knew before I bought it that a 357 with a grip that small wasn't a good idea. The original grips are pretty but that's all. Looked at a few options. The Hogue grip with it's outstanding reviews was my choice and it was only a few dollars more. Came with same day delivery. It was easier to install the Hogue grips than to remove the Ruger grips. After the install the first time I tried them knew it was the right decision. Went to the range and even with 357 rounds the weight of the gun and the Hogue grips it was a pleasure to shoot.

It soaks up .38 Special loads easily. As for .357 Mag, it is much better than the OEM grip. Felt recoil was much less and it fit my entire hand.This was a great upgrade.

This grip is an absolute necessity! It shocks me that it does not come like this from the factory... The grip is extremely easy to put on and feels perfect, I cannot recommend it enough! Feels great, looks perfect, easy to install, makes for better use when shooting and doesn't leave you sore like the stock grip does with repeated shots like at the range. Buy this now!Only thing I would say is that if you plan on conceal carrying an SP101 then the grip is bigger so it may make that harder, but frankly this gun is already a bit too big to conceal carry anyway so I don't see it as a big deal. Might as well make the gun function better for what it is as opposed to making it something is sort of isn't.

I really love the feel compared to the stock grip on my 4" SP101. Much much better purchase on the gun. I thought it was too small to install at first, but after fi---nally reading the instructions, and with a good & firm twist, it popped right on perfectly.Very happy with the feel and value..
