The revolver market still rewards designs that prioritize durability, predictable lockup, and straightforward maintenance. For shooters who want a platform that handles hard use, easy field stripping, and consistent alignment shot after shot, this model deserves a close look.

RUGER GP100 blends stout construction with practical design features built for duty, range, and outdoors use. The triple-locking cylinder secures the cylinder at the front, rear, and bottom to ensure positive alignment every time, while the patented transfer-bar mechanism adds a strong measure of safety against accidental discharge. The robust satin stainless steel frame and cylinder (no side plate) let the GP100 be broken down into large subassemblies without tools for simplified maintenance in the field.

Design and field-proven features

The GP100’s stainless construction resists corrosion and stands up to hard use. The patented grip frame accommodates a wide variety of custom grips and comes fitted with a Hogue walnut grip on the standard configuration. With a 6-round cylinder and a 6-inch satin stainless barrel, the package weighs in at about 45 oz and measures roughly 11.5 inches overall—dimensions that balance controllability with sight radius for accuracy.

Trigger and sighting

This revolver offers a smooth double-action pull and a crisp single-action break. Adjustable rear ramp sights and a defined front sight allow you to zero for a range or duty load. The barrel specs include a 118.75 RH twist with five grooves for reliable stabilization of standard loads.

Caliber choices and tactical applications

The GP100 is available in calibers including .22 LR, .44 Special, 9mm, and .357 Magnum—each serving different roles. The .357 Magnum option is a standout for defensive and outdoors scenarios because of its power and proven terminal performance; 9mm and .44 Special offer alternatives for lower recoil or platform compatibility. This versatility makes the GP100 equally suited for carry, home defense, and target shooting.

Standard features such as the triple-locking cylinder, takedown without special tools, and the included hard plastic case add real value at the listed price of $932.99. For complete specs and to compare configurations, view product details and pricing: View product details and pricing
