Question about GP-100.

[rec999allis]

Because you don't need tools to take a GP-100 apart, do any exterior parts become loose over time with use or will the gun stay solid?

I've never had anything come loose on mine, and I've owned it for years.

For me, The GP-100 is the ulitmate revolver. I love everything about it.
Bomb proof, more than accurate enough for my needs, and feels great in the hand.

I've never seen a worn out GP100. I've seen some abused and used. I've never seen one worn out. But then, I'm young.

Thanks for the replys. The reason I asked is because the only revolvers I ever owned were S&W.

Thanks for the replys. The reason I asked is because the only revolvers I ever owned were S&W so I don't know to much when it comes to the way Rugers are made.

I think if you dig Allis-Chalmers, you'll dig Rugers.

If Diebold (the bank safe manufacturer) made guns they'd probably come up with something like the GP100.

I like revolvers the way I like people - sturdy, durable, unpretentious, dependable and true. I like Rugers. And Jeeps. And Allis-Chalmers.

Most guns can shoot themselves loose over time. I have seen semi auto grip screws work loose and revolvers are no different.

That being said the GP100 is a friggen tank. I have seen one used to jack up a car as a make shift jack handle.

If you remove the cylinder latch screw, it can have a tendency to walk out from then on unless you loctite it or stake it. There's really not a good reason to ever remove the screw in the first place, so that's probably not much of an issue.

I guess the grip screw could get loose, but that's something you'd probably notice.

They're pretty solid. Short of abuse, I doubt you'd ever wear one out by shooting it.
