New Ruger GP-100 Announced

[JBI812]

I'd like to have the new grips for my GP100. It look great but it's still the same old revolver. And, I don't know why they put adjustable sights on short barrel revolver. Clint Eastwwod, John Wayne and Roy Rogers never used adjustable sights.

Actually, Smith Wesson has fantastic grips on their Classic series revolvers. They're slim profile super wood made by Altamonte .... I think. I'd like a set for other K frame revolvers.

The Ruger Novak set up is fan-flipping-tastic. I was able to hold all 6 in a credit card at 25 yards with my Wiley Clapp with the same rears and the brass dot front. The only other gun I can manage that with is my early 2000s Springfield Loaded 1911.

Anyways...I want this. I wonder what the real retail price will be.

I love the sights on the Talo also. Will most likely buy another GP 100, i was curious as to the Match name. MSRP is $899.00

The gp100 looks great but I'm really interested in a stainless Redhawk 357 mag or 45 long colt with 6 inch barrel.

I like the .480, but would go nuts over a double action .45 LC heavy duty revolver that WASN'T a Smith (the smith version can't run hot .45LC and idiots want 100-200 over MSRP for them used).

I'm happy to see that Ruger is bringing something new and game-changing for those that shoot IDPA and USPSA. Now if they'd just come out with a .45 ACP version of the GP100 it would be a perfect world.

this is a flat sexy beast and my wish list just got rearranged a bit after seeing this.

Ah ha! Explains the Match thing. All you ever hear about is the race guns.

Does anyone know when these will be available? I've been looking for a 4" ss gp100 for a few months now locally with no luck. Now I'm sorta happy I haven't found one so far because this model just speaks to me.

 

[Hookeye]

I'll take a Smith please.

I'm curious. If a pistol is designed or meant to be used in competition, does that mean it's not a good carry weapon for self defense?
I would really like to carry that if it didn't cost as much as my truck x2. Ha ha

It should be fine for carry, my only concern would be the front fiber.

Sometimes yes because of extremely light triggers, bulky sights and mag funnels, long slides, etc. In this case, no, it'd be fine as a carry gun.

 

[Roll Tide]

I don't have a revolver...and this looks really nice. Hmmmm. I love the Colt Trooper Mk V dad has. Super smooth and a great trigger. 357 mag too!

You'll likely find one at the gun shows. Although, they are few and far between. Buds in Kentucky (on line) has them listed as available. I' guessing by the end of Q1 next year we should see the supply improving.

I have a severe case of Ruger-itis for all stainless Ruger wheel guns. That being said, I'm disappointed that they would take the stout frame GP series and actually remove metal from the top strap to accommodate the novak sight they seem to love so much. I'm a member on the Ruger Forum but can't seem to locate the thread that shows one member who's Wiley Clapp GP100 with the same exact sight whose top strap actually blew apart at the sight grove and bent forward. I wish they would bring out a damn GP100 3"bbl in 44 Special.......

WC GP not looking so good! - Ruger Forum

I'd carry one and I'm a smith guy. Least this one the finish won't rub off like the Wiley Clapp

Wow. From posts on that forum said, He was using reloads he purchased. That's a big lesson in itself. They are also talking about it breaking where it should have to protect the user. What a waist of a beautiful gun though.

99% of blowups usually result from hand-loads. If you didn't load it, don't use it.

 

[Ralphie Parker]

I would still like to have the new one or the WC to my small collection. I have a gp100 and love it.

The failure is essentially such a smooth, clean line that it makes me wonder if the amount of material removed wasn't also a contributing factor. I feel as though there was no saving the cylinder but a full thickness top strap would/should have been able to deform without seperating.
