Ruger GP100
A tank of a .357 Magnum revolver — overbuilt, smooth, and built to last generations.
Overview
The Ruger GP100 is famously overbuilt — a tank of a .357 Magnum revolver designed to digest a lifetime of full-power loads without complaint. Its beefy frame tames recoil and its action smooths out beautifully with use.
Like other .357s, it also shoots cheaper, softer .38 Special for practice. Who it's for: shooters who want a near-indestructible magnum revolver for the woods, range, and defense, and value rugged simplicity over light weight.
