I know Ruger makes a 3 inch SP-101 in 327 federal magnum, but it just has the rear trench site, only the 4 inch has a rear adjustable site.

The SP-101 3 inch 357 Wiley Clapp version has Novak rear site. This model seems just about perfect for what I’m looking for, except it isn’t in the chambering I’d like.

Does anyone know if Ruger makes a 3 inch SP-101 Wiley Clapp in 327 federal? This would be an ideal woods/trail gun for me.

If you can get past the "satin" blue finish everyone uses today, looks like a nice one!


Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Not the adjustable rear sight he’s looking for.

Thank you! While this isn’t exactly what I’m looking for, I didn’t know that this model existed and isn’t a bad alternative. After doing a bit of research around this model it seems that it was made sometime around 2008, then was discontinued. When they brought back 327 to the SP 101 it didn’t have these sights. If there isn’t a Wiley Clapp in 327 in existence today, I may cross my fingers and write an email to TALO or Lipseys and if it doesn’t come into production in 12 months, I’ll probably seek out this older model.
