Ruger GP100: The Benchmark of Mid-Sized Power
The Indestructible Ruger GP100 Double-Action
The Ruger GP100 Double-Action Revolver earned its reputation for legendary strength. We built this medium-to-large frame gun to withstand continuous use of the most powerful magnum loads.
It is, quite simply, overbuilt. You will not find a more durable production revolver on the market today.
Ruger crafts the frame from solid steel. This robust construction ensures the GP100 handles intense pressure easily.
You buy a lifetime of reliable performance. And the modular design allows for incredibly easy cleaning.
The triple-locking cylinder secures the cylinder at the front, rear, and bottom. This prevents movement. Therefore, it ensures perfect alignment with the barrel upon firing. This feature is critical for accuracy and safety.
Superior Recoil Management and Design
The full-lug barrel adds significant weight. This weight shifts the balance forward.
This muzzle-heavy design dramatically reduces felt recoil. It mitigates muzzle flip better than lighter revolvers.
You maintain control easily. This allows for faster, more accurate follow-up shots.
The non-shrouded design of the ejector rod ensures smooth extraction. This makes reloads simpler and faster.
We chambered the GP100 for the powerful .357 Magnum cartridge. This gives you maximum power for defense or field use.
However, you can also use economical .38 Special ammunition. This versatility saves you money during range training.
Engineering Excellence in the Ruger GP100 Double-Action
The Ruger GP100 Double-Action features a unique grip peg system. This system eliminates uncomfortable metal backstraps.
Instead, the grip cushions the hand directly against recoil. This improves shooting comfort drastically.
The trigger pull is smooth and predictable in double-action. You get a crisp, clean break when firing single-action.
Ruger designed the internal mechanism for simplicity. This minimalist approach enhances reliability. Fewer parts mean less potential for failure.
You will find the adjustable rear sight standard on most GP100 models. You can easily dial in precision for various loads or distances.
Because of its superior engineering, many shooters choose the GP100 for competition. They appreciate its steady weight and consistent action.
Versatility for Range, Defense, and Field Use
The capacity is typically six or seven rounds. This ample capacity gives you confidence in any situation.
The heavy build makes it an ideal platform for high-volume target shooting. It absorbs recoil better than anything in its class.
Furthermore, the power of the .357 Magnum makes it a suitable sidearm for hunting. It is a reliable backup in the field.
The GP100’s reputation for ruggedness is well deserved. Consequently, many consider it one of the best investments in the revolver market.
You acquire absolute dependability when you purchase this firearm. The Ruger GP100 Double-Action will serve you faithfully for decades, handling every load you feed it.
The Ruger GP100 Double-Action Revolver is the premier choice for shooters who demand a rugged, full-sized .357 Magnum handgun.
