Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Ruger GP-100

I inherited a GP100 in 357 magnum and was curious to your thoughts on this pistol? My dad bought it new. When he passed my brother got it, and after my brother passed I got it.
Thanks

I have a Wiley Clapp GP100 w/3 inch barrel and love it. Yes, its a bit heavy but the durability of these revolvers is legendary.

Sorry for your losses.

Thank you sir

Love my stainless 4".

Damn fine pistol that's built like a tank. Take it, enjoy it and decide who you want to leave it to.

Great pistol in 357

I have a 4" stainless I bought used back when newspapers were the information web. It's been shot so much the rifling shows ware at the forcing cone. It's what I use when I expect bad weather or adverse conditions. I also use it to test heavy loads, and dry fire practice.. It's never been apart, hesitated to function, or shown any loss of accuracy. The only revolver I own that has rubber grips on it, because it's all business. I'll never sell or trade it. Not even for a new one.

They're outstanding. At least my blued 4" GP100 has been. Yesterday I took my GP out with an ancient S&W 38spl and a S&W 317 22lr. The GP100 and the old S&W are right on the money and excellent. My new grail gun, the S&W 317 22lr is a overpriced dog turd. Love the GP100, loathe the S&W 317.

My ss 5" 357 is the most accurate of my hand guns and while not my edc, it is my favorite field carry.

I have a 6” stainless 357 I got from my dad that is my favorite and most accurate handgun to shoot! They are built like tanks and accurate to boot. I know will never get rid of mine!

I had a pistol scope I was going to post in the classifieds but I saw a scope mount posted yesterday by cousdeer for a 6” GP100 that I bought. I’m gonna scope it and see what I can do with it.

6” GP100 stainless with no bottom lug was the first “big” revolver I ever bought. I got damn lucky because at the time I didn’t know just how great of a gun it is. I’ll never get rid of that one.

This thread motivated me to get mine out. I'd forgotten how accurate it is.

Mines seen some use since 88.

Have owned 357's in 4" SS and a 6" blued, and currently have a 3" 44 Spl. Great revolvers...

I love my 6" stainless. It has done well on deer here in Iowa.

I own only one and it is a great piece. I tuned and shimmed the action and it shoots the MBW 180 gr LFN well.

I've had one w/6 inch barrel for years. Shoots great. No issues. Love the gun

I have a 6" stainless with the short shroud. It's a great but often underappreciated revolver. I bought it new in the 80's and just popped in a HiViz sight from Ruger to help with the fading black ramp. 😀
