    Man, this GP100 shoots great! I put about 100 rounds through it over the weekend and can say that I am very happy with this revolver. Even ran a cylinder of grizzly 200gr hard cast. Man that stuff is quite stout for 357! Love Rugers!

    Customer service is not open until Monday so I thought I’d dry fire it some more with snap caps thinking maybe it would smooth out some. Then this happened. Trigger stuck back and would not reset. I ended up pulling the hammer back and letting it drop. The force of the hammer dropping jarred...

    Well I hope that I can get this thing to not be a POS! I want to love this gun! The marketing behind this gun says that it comes with a tuned action with shims. Here is a direct quote for Rugers website. “Polished and optimized internals and centering shims on the trigger and hammer produce a...

    Hi, first post here. My name is Trevor, I live in Alaska, and I’m a huge Ruger fan! Been lingering on the forum for a while and decided to join! Ok on to the SP101. I just picked it up about an hour ago from my FFL. Got home, cleaned and oiled it, and wanted to share some of my observations...
