I have small hands and with the finger grooves, it pushes my hand down the grip so the web of my hand is not up against the curve of backstrap like the original allowed. It also is a longer grip so you have more for your little finger. It fits nicely. When I purchased the gun originally, I did so because it just felt like it was made just for my hand. Everything was so natural. I don't like the plastic inserts on original is why I tried these, but after trying them, I never even fired the gun with them. I put the original ones back. Also, if you plan to use it as a pocket gun as I do, it makes it slightly more difficult to get at quickly.

First off I love Hogue products...have several of there grips and sleeves on my firearms.....saw the review's and thought this would be a no brainer for my Ruger sp101....after installation I found that everytime I griped the revolver I heard the crunchy plastic sounds which composes the inside of the grip....it was so bad that I put the factory grip back on......oh well at around 23 bucks I'll chuck it in the drawer with all the other discarded parts

This is a very inexpensive must have modification for your Ruger. Hogue made a quality grip at a very good price. It is much more comfortable and helps the gun feel like an extension of your arm. This completely changed the way the gun feels in the hand. Groupings got much better and it really gives the handler confidence with hotter loads. All loads are much more manageable. Even when I practice my conceal carry draw I feel like I have a much better grip and am assured I have positive control of the firearm. It looks good (much better than the factory grips in my opinion) and really is a must have for this gun. If you are on the fence about it, buy it. If you are worried about how it affects the concealed aspect it is not much of a difference. I am still able to conceal with no printing. Just be smart about what you wear and the optimum location with your holster. Long story short I highly recommend. Very happy.Read full review

Ruger should put this grip on there revolvers instead of that little undersized grip. This Hogue monogrip makes the Ruger 101 very secure in the hands for better on target accuracy and feels very nice in your hands and no spanking the hands because the Hogue Monogrip absorbs the recoil extremely well. The Hogue Monogrip and the Ruger 101 is the perfect combination that makes you love your Ruger 101 with much better feel of handling with accuracy and much less recoil. I highly recommend the Hogue Monogrip on all revolvers.

Great addition to the Ruger SP 101. The grip is larger, has much more cushioning than the original grip. Makes the firearm much more manageable. Relatively easy / simple to install. Ruger should include these grips with the revolver rather than have the purchaser buy this accessory to add to the gun.

This is a very nice combat type of pistol grip for your Ruger SP 101. It is made of a softer material than the original Ruger grip and was very easy to install. The finger grooves and the texture of the Hogue Mono-Grip provide a much better purchase of the firearm then the original Ruger grip. The Hogue grip is approx. 3/4" longer then the original Ruger grip which allows the shooter to place their pinky on this grip, which you cannot do with the Ruger grip. I would recommend this product to other shooters.

The factory grip for the SP101 looks great, but it's too small even for somebody with small hands, and it's not that comfortable either. This Hogue grip looks good too, but it's way more comfortable, fits my hand way better even though it's small also but bigger than the factory grip. And it's still small enough for conceal carry. This grip improved my target shooting a lot! It's comfortable, looks good, it's good quality, and it's not made in china!

While the stock grips sure are handsome with the maple burl inserts, they position your middle finger knuckle directly behind the trigger guard. So, when you pull the trigger you get a painful bang on the knuckle when the recoil slams the guard against it. Not the case with the Hogues as they are designed to position the knuckle below the guard and with a portion of the rubber protecting the knuckle. Makes shooting the SP101 enjoyable instead of painful. Ted White

Makes this little .357 Magnum way more shooter friendly. Prefect fit and finish. The feel in the hand is soft yet firm. Fits the hand way better then the tiny factory grip. Install is very easy. But you must be smarter then a fist grader because it does not mount the same as the factory grip. If you own a SP 101 and actually want to shoot it and your hands are larger then a 10 year old girl. This is a must have.

These grips are easy to fit and increase the size, comfort and fit of the .327 SP101, making accuracy easier than the original grips. The felt recoil is also reduced on full load rounds making sight acquisition quicker .
