Fantastic GP100 D/A trigger pull!

Was great being at the factory and seeing Ruger Revolvers of all sorts getting the Serial Numbers stamped on the Frame. Just sitting in the assembly area watching Fitters install parts and assemble. I was truly in heaven. Love the Heat Treatment Facilities with the large tanks of Argon Gas with caution "Danger Do Not Insert Any Part of Body into Furnace" "Suffocation can can result"!

I've had my GP100 less than a year. it's got around 1000 rounds through it and many more dry fires. The trigger on it is so bad that it should probably go back and get checked out. I've said this before, but about once every other cylinder it'll jam up and be impossible to pull the trigger in DA or cock in SA. Then a very slight nudge to the cylinder and it'll be fine. Needs checked out. About a week ago, i did find a round that this gun LOVED. before i messed up it put 5 rounds at 2.5 inches at about 30-40 yards. with a 4in bbl, thats awful good for my shooting. I guess this gun is a love/hate thing for the time being.

Hey, I know what you mean, I visited many breweries. One just outside the mile-high.

It is always good and useful to see an assembly site, to get training there is another great benefit.

I would not turn an offer down to tour a gun manufacturer and have to remember to ask a friend for a favor, who has the necessary connections.

I had a similiar experience...

I wouldn't say that my GP100 has the best factory DA trigger, but it was excellent.

My GP100 was every bit as smooth as the 686p that I handled the day that I bought my 4" GP100. The GP100 trigger pull might have been a tiny bit heavier than the 686, but it was very close. After I felt the trigger and saw that the finish was clean, I pulled out the plastic and bought the gun on the spot. I've felt a few Ruger triggers that were absolutley horrid, and I've felt ones that were really, really nice. I've seen a lot more nice ones than bad ones in the last nine months or so.

I ALMOST got a GP100 the last time I went gun shopping; it had the best DA pull I ever have seen. Alas it was a little large for my needs

I dryfired a new gp-100 at a gun shop and it felt a lot better than my old one.

Interesting, my 2006 SP101 has a heavy trigger pull. I would clasify it as neither silky or smooth, but consistent.

My new GP100, dated July 30 '08, also has an amazing trigger. For anyone to say their Smith came with a better one would be an insult. DA is light and smooth, and the SA is better than the SA trigger in my Blackhawk! You simply can't make a better trigger than that, you can only copy it.

i`ve seen a GP that was home trigger jobbed & miss fired 50% of the time when shot DA.
found that the owner had (shined )the da dawg too much & hammer would let go way before the transfer bar was in place .
ive always said the acid test is to shoot a ruger as slow as you can pull the trigger DA
