Built on a stainless-steel frame with a matching stainless cylinder and a brushed/satin finish, this GP100 features a 6-inch stainless barrel with a full underlug for added forward weight and balance. Chambered in .357 Magnum, it offers a six-round capacity and is compatible with .38 Special.
The revolver is configured with a HiViz green fiber-optic front sight and a black, fully adjustable rear sight. The front blade is retained by Ruger’s plunger system, allowing user replacement. Non-factory black rubber grips with wood inserts are installed for a secure, comfortable hold.
Ruger’s triple-locking cylinder system ensures solid alignment at the front, rear, and bottom latches. The action is double-action/single-action with a smooth-faced trigger and an exposed, checkered hammer spur for positive cocking control. A transfer-bar safety system provides reliable drop safety.
Internal details include a 1:18.75" right-hand twist rate and Ruger’s modular subassemblies that enable tool-less fieldstripping. The overall package reflects the GP100’s reputation for durability and serviceability while incorporating practical sight and grip enhancements.
