The 5-inch stainless barrel features a full-length underlug that encloses the ejector rod, along with Ruger's interchangeable, plunger-retained black ramp front blade and a fully adjustable square-notch rear sight. This setup provides a precise, user-serviceable sighting system paired with a balanced barrel length.
The frame is an investment-cast, one-piece stainless-steel design with an integral topstrap, complemented by a triple-locking cylinder for secure lockup. The six-shot fluted cylinder uses Ruger's left-side push-button release, and the action is DA/SA with an exposed hammer and a transfer bar safety system.
Controls and handling are straightforward: rubber finger-groove grips with Ruger medallions, a satin stainless finish on the frame, and matching stainless cylinder and barrel. The ejector rod sits fully protected within the underlug for durability during use and carry.
Markings and identifiers include the barrel rollmark "RUGER NEWPORT, NH USA" and a hand-scribed "357" on the crane/yoke interior. This example is cataloged as KGP-151 and was manufactured in 2013 in the USA. The 5-inch stainless .357 GP100 configuration has been offered as distributor exclusives, aligning this revolver with those sought-after factory runs.
