The 5-inch stainless steel barrel uses a full underlug and a solid, serrated top rib for a steady sight picture and balanced handling. The ramped black front sight is retained by a plunger for quick changes, and the rear sight is a click-adjustable square-notch unit for precise elevation and windage adjustments.
The GP100’s construction centers on a solid, one-piece stainless steel frame without a sideplate and a triple-locking six-shot fluted cylinder. The satin stainless finish is applied consistently across the frame, receiver, barrel, and cylinder.
This double-action/single-action revolver includes a transfer-bar safety system, a smooth-faced trigger, and an exposed, checkered hammer spur. It wears the factory rubber finger-groove monogrip with Ruger logo medallions for a secure, comfortable hold.
