    Nice try, but I'm holding out for the blued half-lug.

    Looks to be more of the French Railway Police guns, with Trausch grips and a lanyard loop.

    Best, Jon

    Is that a dual retention holster?

    Almost like a 070 from safariland? The 070 is triple retention, but the has the two snaps.

    Not quite like a 070. This one has a conventional thumb break, and a second strap over the trigger guard that must be released by lifting the tab with the two snaps you see in the picture, which would have to be done prior to acquiring a master grip. You can’t do both simultaneously like you can with the 070. It kind of reminds me of how you’d draw from a flap holster, that also had a thumb break.

    I received a similar style holster with one of my MR-88s.

    Did they file the front sights lower for lighter bullets?

    I'm holding out for a 6-shot. Ruger could give Colt and Kimber, even Taurus, some serious competition with a 3", 6-shot, SP-101 and it wouldn't have to be much bigger than the current offering.

    Bear in mind that these are in .38 Special, not .357 Magnum.

    SP-101 6-shot, 3", 38 Special (obviously +P). I'll still buy one, with or without the half lug. In blue steel or stainless, it wouldn't matter much to a desert dweller like myself.

    I've been hoping for that for years. Actually, I'm interested in a 2" version in .357, but if we get one, we'll get the other eventually. I have a Detective Special that was my pocket snubby for 25 years until I got my SP101. Framewise the two guns are exactly the same size. The Colt cylinder is .05" wider than the SP101, which isn't very much. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
