All depends on the retailer I've seen them go from apparently $649 to over 700 ... plus tax. I picked mine up from a shop in Hamilton for $649 plus tax and I haven't seen any going cheaper at this moment in time

It is surprisingly heavy... however, I can confirm that today I installed a wolff 12lb hammer spring (GP100/SP101) and a 10lb Trigger spring (Ruger Super Redhawk) and wow! Cleaned it up a lot.
Yes, so far so good, the primers still going off
The only drag is that my SP101 has a very pronounced groove in one of the lands. I've contacted Warranty to see if it is acceptable, otherwise it's a nice little gun.
I just got mine from Frontier, great to deal with. Yes the trigger is heavy but other than that it is a nifty little revolver.
G37- Could I ask, what part numbers for the Wolff springs? Wolffs website says the springs won't work on the sp101 22lr?

Wolf's notice about the .22lr springs is strange given the positive reports of people using current Wolf sp101 springs.
I sent them an email and they replied simply that due to liability issues they have no comment and that one day after they have done the research they may offer a specific .22lr spring.
Strange that after several years they have not come up with a spring they can sell for the .22lr's.

I had mine out to the range today, and I am going to look into the 12lb hammer spring.
Single action it shot as well or better than any other handgun I have owned.
Haven't shot at 25m for a long time but keeping shots inside 6 inches is relatively easy with this gun.

Absolutely... these are springs I had in my gun parts drawer from past Ruger mods
Stock# 18612 (qty:10 12lb hammer spring - Ruger GP100/SP101)
Stock# 23310 (qty:3 10lb trigger return spring - Ruger Super Redhawk)
Both springs were swapped effortlessly. I think WOLFF is just covering their end due to the .22lr cartridge (ignition issues as is, never mind adding a weaker spring.)
But in the 50rnds of the AE bulk stuff, they all went bang..

Awesome, thanks. Did you do the shims as well? Would you bother?
I did not. Might try it... I could see how it would work, but I typically have the mindset of simpler and generally don't like to add more parts
But, I do smooth the hammer strut; when you remove the hammer spring you'll see how rough it is in there (that rough area can make contact the spring during hammer travel.)
Geeze, sounds like quite the exercise. Are these SP101's dry fire safe or is there some royally destroyed snap caps at the Can-down compound?
Quite the exercise for sure!
I will be ordering some springs and polishing some parts for sure but like I said it has improved noticeably. Still on the heavy side but my tendons aren't popping any more!
A couple hundred pulls every day will get you over a thousand in a week easy. Double action this is not a trigger you pull with the pad of your finger!
As is the heavy trigger pull could be used as a strength and conditioning exerciser for sure.
The gun is dry fire safe but I prefer to buffer the shock with some home made plastic snap caps.
Here's a link to cheap home made snap caps....
