Ruger GP100s

[Golderpuff]

I recently purchased a GP100 6" SS. It is more accuate than I am. 50 feet 3 inch groups off hand right out of the box. I realy love this gun.

This is mine from the first year of production of the GP100 in 1986.

I have a 4" SS GP100.Its the kind of steel that you can take confort in knowing it will always fire and take care of you in time of need.If you end up giving her a name then you know its true love

I have just picked nup my 3" Talo (Wiley Clapp) gp100. Really neat; accurate and smooth shooting even with maximum load .357's. As soon as I get a holster for it I'll carry it at night; with .38 +P+ in it. A pop gun with that load.

I have a 4" blued GP100 and it does everything well. It is accurate at 25 yards, I have never had a misfire, and the action (after a little dry firing) is very smooth. I feel secure in carrying maximum pressure bear loads. It is heavy enough that recoil is minimal and it is an easy gun learn to shoot. I have a CT Lasergrip on mine and it is currently the house gun. I really like feel of my classic K frame Smiths, but the GP is just a little sturdier. A 3" 41 mag GP would be the ultimate trail gun, IMO.

I bought one in 1990, shot several thousand rounds thru it. Hope to buy another one soon.

I had a blue 4" GP100. The single action trigger was very nice. I loved shooting magnums out of it because it soaked up the recoil very nicely. But, it had the worst DA action I ever felt. It wasn't too bad shooting rapid fire but slow deliberate DA shooting the action would hang up about half way through the stroke and I would actually have to jerk the trigger past that point and then just before full cock the action would smooth up. I traded it to guy who wanted a stronger .357 magnum than his S&W 66.

I was going to take it to a gunsmith or send it back to Ruger but a S&W 19/66 was always on my wish list so I made a good trade. The guy I traded it to is very happy with it because he doesn't care so much about the trigger, he just wanted a gun that would handle the hottest loads. I hope to get another GP someday if I can find one with a better trigger. I also have a Security Six whose action is as smooth as any S&W model 66 or model 15. The Security Six with the Hogue Monogrips is a very nice pistol.

This is my first real wheel gun purchase. Just got it today, havent even shot it.

Dead reliable tanks that make good bludgeoning weapons if you run out of ammo. You can't go wrong with one as a HD or open carry revolver. You can run the nastiest overpressure stuff out there in it all day long and it won't care. And 38spl feels like a mouse fart.

Probably the best large 357 for its price.

I want a 3" GP100 and a 3" S&W 65: his and hers.

 

[HiCap1]

Charlie Echo, I now have both. I just received my Talo GP100. I like them both. The 65 has had a trigger job and is the smoothest I have ever shot. The GP shoots just as well, and magnums can't be felt any more than .38's. The sights are a LOT better. A his and his.

4 yrs ago, I shot 25 x 357 magnum rounds through a rental GP100 with 6 inch barrel. My first time to shoot a Ruger revolver as Smiths are my first love.

Couldn't miss the 3" bullseye at the indoor range's maximum distance, shooting in double action...15 meters perhaps? Six months later, I owned one

IMO, a GP100 is a must have revolver, just like a Smith and Wesson 686.

I've had a standard 4" blue one for many years. Great shooter! Couldn't get used to the issue grips and changed to Pachmayer. Although a heavy piece with not much muzzle jump with 357s, on a whim, I had it Mag-n-ported after a couple of years. With the heaviest loads the barrel barely moves.

Well, I'd love to have a 3" model 13 or 65.
They appeal greatly to me. Especially aesthetically.

I named my Gp "Maggie".
Just don't tell my Dan Wesson .357, Taurus .44 mag, Ruger Redhawk .44 mag, and Marlin 1894 .44 mag. I named them Maggie, too.
