Nope. You can "read" about QC issues with every brand on the market. Rugers work just fine.

I’ve had a GP100 for over ten years. This one is my 3rd one since I foolishly sold the other two many years earlier. Getting a half lug one in a few weeks.
No company makes everything perfectly but Ruger always takes care of its customer. And GP100 is one tough revolver. Don’ t even bother thinking about Taurus anything. But it’ s your choice. |

Quoted:
I have a hankering for a DA revolver in 4”. Mainly just to have another .357. I was tempted to go the Taurus route, but just don’t want to roll the dice. This won’t be a heavy use gun, but I don’t want a guaranteed send-back to the manufacturer either. I’ve read of some QC issues with Ruger, specifically revolvers. Any worries on a current GP? Hopefully not. I own and shoot 3 Ruger revolvers that I've had zero issues with over the years (SP-101, GP-100 & Security Six). 2 years ago I talked my out of state brother into buying a GP-100 that were on sale at his local gun store. He ended up sending it back to Ruger after his first range session due to locking up problems. Ruger replaced the cylinder and other internal parts and paid for shipping. Revolver is now trouble free. It happens..... |

I have a few Ruger firearms.
A 1994 GP100 4" which has been flawless. A 2011 LCP which is great A 2013 or so 10/22 takedown. Only problem with that one is its finicky with ammo. I love my GP100. |

Our 2019 GP-100 (10mm) has been flawless so far, and a real joy to shoot.

My 2018 SS GP100 is terrific in finish and function. It actually has a decent trigger too.
The Hogue factory grips sucked for me, but Altamont resolved that quickly and easily.  Attached File |

Seriously, spend the extra $100 and get the match champion.
Great finish, spectacular trigger worked by Ruger. The cats ass of 357 magnums. It will never need to be sent back. |

I just picked this up yesterday
I've always been a 686 guy, but wanted to try one. the 7 shot got some bad press when introduced a few years ago, because some brass rims would bind together. I've got a large toolbag full of 357 handloads, and haven't found any that cause trouble. I will do an ARFCOM report when I get time to shoot it.

Mine has been %100 but I do have to use the TK .40 clips when shooting that caliber. Ruger clips have been totally reliable with 10mm, about 1 round each clip will not fire with .40. Ruger should redesign their clips to shoot both, and to hold the rounds more securely, imo. |

If you are patient with Gunbroker you can find a deal. I bought a 6-shot GP-100 .357 for $399 a couple months ago that way. Even with $20 to ship it the thing was a steal.
Then I bought the Wolff spring pack for it and some fiber optic sights. Gunsmith installed those, polished internals, and polished chambers. Even with all of the parts and labor I am still under what a Match Champion would cost. Dry fire shows the trigger MUCH improved now. I will run it this week with an assortment of primers to verify that I haven’t lost the ability to ignite harder stuff. Will report back. ETA - function tested today and it ignited both CCI and Federal primers perfectly, even with the lightest springs. |

The DA isn't as smooth as our 66-2, although it's improving every time we use it. The SA is already darned near as good as the 66, which is really saying something. We also got the TK Custom thicker (.050") moon clips and their loader/unloader tools to shoot 40 S&W with it, and they work just as advertised. The GP100 Match Champion is certainly a lot of pistol for the money right now. |

LGS is a major Ruger seller, gets a lot of their "demo" guns.

My most recent GP100 was manufactured in 2016. It has handled many full power H110 loads and never misses a beat. Granted it has never felt as tight and refined as say a S&W 686 but zero issues all the same. I can't speak for any newer.

I have the same issue. Wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to go every single month. I hope you're able to score another and your health improves! I'm hesitant to carry mine just because it would be difficult and expensive to replace so it's a fun time range gun for now. One of the black ones would be a great carry gun that I wouldn't have to worry about. |

Has anyone from Ruger emailed you at all about the gun? ETA: When my gun worked it shot great. For .357 the only brand I got to work consistently was Remington. Few other brands it binded like a motherfucker, worst by far was PMC which ofcourse I have a ton of. |
