Possible reasons for this may have been it was discontinued in 1998 with limited numbers on the market or because 9&#215;19 ammo tends to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/#rid=gunsandmoney&amp;bid=41a33016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cheaper <\/a>than either .38 Special or .357 Magnum ammo. It was originally available in both the 2.25&#8243; and 3&#8243; barrels and used moon clips to hold the non-rimmed ammo.<\/p>\n<p>This week Ruger answered the prayers of those that wanted a SP-101 in 9mm but didn&#8217;t want to pay twice the price of a .38 or .357 Mag model. They have reintroduced the SP-101 in 9mm with a 2.25&#8243; barrel.&nbsp; MSRP on the reintroduced model is $719 but I&#8217;m sure the street price will be significantly lower. Checking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gunbroker.com\/All\/BI.aspx?Keywords=sp101+9mm&amp;BuyNowOnly=1&amp;Sort=13&amp;Tab=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gunbroker.com<\/a>, I see them being sold for as low as $519 plus shipping.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto;
