Wouldn't a gun with a frame built for .38's be somewhat unsafe
with a
bunch
of .357 mags going through it?

What part of this is so hard to understand?

The gun is a .357 mag built on a .38 frame.

Ruger SP101

Hello? Anybody home?

You god damned people will agrue about anything.

I'm outa here for a while.

Morons.

No argument exists. I was simply asking a question. I looked for
information on the Ruger SP101, but could find nothing saying the
frame
was
built for .38's.


Look at the top strap, Einstein.


Ah, another name-caller!

Enlighten me, please. I am certainly no expert on pistols. What is a
'top
strap'?

Is there one in this photo?

Yes, there is. See the black grip with the silver screw holding it on?
That's actually called the top strap.


Those are grip inserts. I've never heard them called 'top straps'. Do
they
have a stamp on them somewhere saying the frame is a .38 caliber frame?

No. You just have to know these things. One high-tech way of knowing is
to
read a lot.


Well, here's the site with all the specs and such. Perhaps you could
point
me to where it says the Ruger SP101 pistol is built on a .38 frame. Or,
please point me to anything that says that. I'll admit to not reading a
whole lot about pistols.


Looks like SW Tom was right. Some folks just want to argue..........about
anything.....here.

John, maybe there is an rec.arguing NG you can spend your day at.


I've argued about nothing. I'm simply trying to find something saying that
a Ruger .357 Magnum pistol was built on a .38 frame.

If I were arguing, I'd say that Tom's statement might have been a little in
error. But, I'm not saying that at all.

Let's see, five different people have called me names or made derogatory
comments because I asked a question.

Wow!
