Cataloged as the KGP-160 short-shroud model, this GP100 pairs a 6-inch barrel with a partial underlug for a balanced full-size profile. Its construction is all stainless steel, including the frame, barrel, and cylinder, with a uniform brushed stainless finish.
The action is DA/SA with an external hammer and a checkered spur. Ruger’s triple-locking cylinder and push-button release deliver the robust lockup and straightforward operation the GP100 series is known for. The six-shot cylinder is stainless with a matching brushed finish.
Sighting is handled by an adjustable rear sight and a black ramped front sight, giving a clear sight picture. The grip is Ruger’s one-piece wraparound black rubber style, fitted with smooth hardwood inset panels and Ruger medallions for a secure, comfortable hold.
This revolver uses Ruger’s solid one-piece frame without a sideplate and carries the Ruger phoenix logo on the frame. It was manufactured in 1987 in the USA, and corresponds to Ruger’s part number KGP-160.
