Ruger® GP100® double-action revolvers are among the most comfortable shooting revolvers. Their rugged, medium-sized frame and cushioned grip system permit repeated firings with minimal shooter fatigue.
Easy on the hand and budget, all GP100 revolvers boast solid steel sidewalls (no side-plates), and frame widths that are increased with extra steel in critical areas that support the barrel, making them rugged, reliable, and dependable.
While shopping for a .357 Magnum revolver, my two choices were the Smith & Wesson Model 686/586 or the Ruger GP100. The latter was recommended by a close friend from Australia, who used to hunt wild hogs with a Ruger Super Redhawk in .44 Magnum. The quality of the GP100 is excellent, and I love how overbuilt it is—it can handle stronger .357 Magnum cartridges with higher pressures, whether factory loads or handloads. I’d highly recommend this revolver to anyone looking for a solid carry gun!
