Ruger GP100 .357 Magnum 7-Shot Revolver
The Ruger GP100 .357 Magnum 7-Shot Revolver is engineered for sustained performance and structural integrity, designed to withstand rigorous use with full-power .357 Magnum cartridges. This platform integrates robust construction with an ergonomic design, providing a reliable and controllable sidearm for diverse applications, including defense, competition, and outdoor utility.
Key Features
Construction and Durability
The GP100 features a solid stainless steel frame, barrel, and cylinder, precision-machined to ensure superior strength and resistance to corrosion. Its robust design incorporates a triple-locking cylinder, securing the cylinder at the front, rear, and bottom for enhanced alignment and reliable operation under extreme pressures. This foundation mitigates structural fatigue, ensuring extended service life and consistent function.
Precision and Ballistics
Equipped with a 6-inch barrel, this revolver optimizes projectile velocity for the .357 Magnum cartridge, contributing to flatter trajectories and increased terminal performance. The extended sight radius, combined with its adjustable rear sight and fixed front sight, facilitates precise sight picture acquisition and allows for elevation and windage adjustments, supporting repeatable accuracy across varying distances.
Ergonomics and Control
The grip frame is designed to distribute recoil forces efficiently, reducing felt recoil and enhancing shooter control. The cushioned, ergonomic grip provides a secure and repeatable purchase, which is critical for rapid follow-up shots and extended shooting sessions. The GP100’s balanced weight profile further aids in stability and handling.
Operational Reliability
Operating in a double-action/single-action (DA/SA) mechanism, the GP100 offers both a consistent double-action trigger pull for rapid deployment and a crisp single-action pull for precision engagements. The integrated transfer bar safety mechanism provides a positive internal safety, preventing the hammer from striking the firing pin unless the trigger is fully depressed, thus enhancing operational safety.
