SP101
« on: December 24, 2012, 01:20:44 PM »
Well, this walked into the shop and the boss let me have it for a decent price, so I got me another Christmas gift from myself.  It doesn'thave  the MIM parts, which is why I got rid of the last SP101 I had, the engraved one.  I hate MIM parts.  Cheap junk, IMHO.  Excuse my crappy pics.

What caliber ?
If I ever look to buy one where should I look for the MIM parts ?
As an unemployed machinist I have an aversion to them regardless of their quality.
Oh yeah, I hate you.
Merry Christmas  ;D

It is .357 Mag.  The new ones the hammer and trigger are MIM parts.  You can tell because the back of the trigger is dished out and the hammer is too. 

No need to hate!

This is probably the 5th one of these I have owned.  I always end up buying another.  Think I will use this as a glove box gun in the truck.

OK, both those parts are easy to check, would have been different if it were some of the internal stuff.
Gun stores are funny about disassembling the merchandise.  ;D

The good ones are like that, you may never use it, but when you don't have one you don't feel right.
I think I've owned 4 or 5 Mossberg 500's over the years, haven't fired 50 rounds total so when money gets tight that's the first to go.
But you need a good shotgun.

Always loved the older ones, with me and my large hands, I just would have opted for a grip change. Simple fix.

Good find, and great pistol.  (Since they "walk into your shop" and all)..... ::)

Merry Christmas To You Sir!!!!! ;D

Guns may not be violent, we all know that an inanimate gun can not just up and kill some one.
But they are definitely capitalist.
We have all had experience with one that "just sold itself".  ;D

Had one of the early Sp101's that was .38 special only,Re-chambered it to .357 mag,then traded it to a friend fr a late 1940's S&W K-22,Wouldn't mind getting another one in .357Mag(or a 2&1/2 inch S&W Model 19)
