10 shots and a longer barrel. I'm guessing it's purely their way of competing with the S&W 617. Honestly though, unless the price point is below $700, I'd sooner buy the 617. Although, the lack of the full length underlug is appealing over the 617.ummm....why?.....
they already have the SP101 in .22lr....which looks damn near identical to the GP100.....
Yeah, I'm not thrilled with mine either.That's reason enough for this cap poppin cowboy.
The trigger on my Peepaws .22 SP101 is just awful.

About time that Ruger produces something approaching a Model 17/617. I would expect the trigger will be much better than the current SP101 in 22LR.
You can see Ruger's answer to a declining sales climate..... more guns.
and that only serve to dilute the corporate profit yielded by their more popular guns.
You do understand that that's MSRP and that street price will be somewhere around 75% of that, right?Not sure I like it at $800....but I like it.
You really think those two guns are aimed at the same purpose?I'd much rather have a .22 in the 3" LCRx that weighs 16 oz over the SP that's double that weight or the GP that weighs 2 lbs 10oz.
I love it when anonymous internet critics think they know better how to run a company than those who actually do. You do realize that Ruger has turned a profit every year since 1949, has no debt and operates on cash? Geniuses indeed.I'm still waiting on the geniuses at Ruger to wake up...
Boo-frickety-hoo, it weighs the same as a 6" model 17 and less than a full lug 6" 617. Also less than your .357 GP......you couldn't get me to even look at one of these boat anchors.
This gun is touted as having a better trigger over the SP version, something the Ruger DA .22s desperately need.Ruger could have made a .22 LCRx, but instead they make this colossal contraption? I appreciate that Ruger keeps producing new things, but this one just puzzles me. About the only reason I can see someone choosing this over the SP is the larger grip.
Personally, just because it has a larger grip and two more rounds doesn't interest me in the slightest. I'd much rather have a .22 in the 3" LCRx that weighs 16 oz over the SP that's double that weight or the GP that weighs 2 lbs 10oz.
Sometimes I just wonder why the most popular guns the market clamors for, like the .327 LCR, Ruger puts off for years while in the meantime puts out stuff like the Red Label.
I do want a LCR in .22lr however
