| Does anyone own a GP100? How does it shoot any problems with the gun? |
|
Quoted:
My grandfather has one. It's a hell of a gun. Zero problems. He shoots the hell out of that gun. Mostly .38's +1. First time out of the box I shot a 70 yard target! Hit the black; not 'target quality' but it was a good shot nevertheless. Built like a tank, too! Ruger built it on its .44 Magnum frame so it'll give many years of good, solid use. |
| I have a Ruger GP100 6inch with Hogue grips and my brother now wants one too. only issue has been the pin that holds in the rear sight floats ,but not a real problem it probably just needs to be staked or flared on the ends, it has never come out all the way but i have seen it stick out about a sixteenth of an inch and i push it back in with my finger.i love this gun, shoots and handles great.i would recomend to anyone wanting a great .357. |

I've got a 4" GP100 and shoot the hell out of it. Great gun for the money. Everyone should have at least one revolver in .357 This should be a tagline for this area of the forum. A 357 magnum is a near perfect 6-gun to have in your possession. My GP100 got a trigger job and new set of springs. TOTALLY different gun. Single and double action groups are much more to my liking. Still 100% reliable and eats heavy hunting type loads all day. |

I've got a 6" stainless with the full lug and I love it.
I purchased it used 10+ years ago and have fired an honest 5000 rounds through it and it's still going strong. Not the smoothest action I've shot but the most comfortable in my hand and very accurate. Wouldn't even think of selling mine. |
| I wanted a 4" stainless GP100. This January at a gunshow I bought a used GP100 blued for $200.00 with a 4" barrel. The trigger has a gritty feeling/a "tick" when the trigger is pulled slowly then it smooths and then it drops the hammer. I am currently dry firing the shit out of it with caps to wear the trigger smooth inside. Other then that it is a very nice revolver. I also have a former PD 686 no dash that I bought used for $325.00 to my FFL friend. Trigger is silky smooth. |
| I asked the same question before I bought mine and I couldn't find a bad thing said about it. I have been wanting to change the sights on mine but just haven't got around to it. I have the GP100 4" SS .357mag. Great gun. I was going to use it for a carry gun but it was heavy so now it guards the house :) I serious doubt you would regret buying this gun. I am now a big Ruger revolver fan and tomorrow I plan to buy the SP101 2 1/4" .357mag. Something I can easily slip in my pocket and go. |

| Had a 3" barreled model. Sold it to generate funds for a 3" CS-1 S&W 686. Should have sold something else. With service sights it was plenty accurate out to 50 yards. The triggers start out a little heavier than a comparable Smith, but they are a more rugged design. If you plan on actually shooting .357's, this is your gun. |
| All the GP100s that have crossed my path seem to be solid and reliable weapons. The only gripe i have is the hammers all have sharp edges on them that scrape my skin when i thumb back the hammer. Its an easy fix but its also something that Ruger should have taken care of at the factory. |
