I have a RAPC and it's been a good pistol. It has been delegated to the under the desk gun. Yeah I work from home. I have had no issues with it. The only thing I wish is that the standard mag be 15 rounds and not 12. Soon after getting it Ruger recalled it and replaced the barrel. Again no...

I have been hoping for a 6 shot SP101 since the 7 shot GP100 came out. A six shot 38 special +P in a SP101 package I think would be a winner. Another option other than the Colt is a Charter Arms Police Undercover that I have been tempted to buy. The Kimber K6 is similar in size but it a .357...

Thanks everyone. I don’t have too much experience with rifles so I appreciate the scope ring suggestion. Going to try it as is and then see if I need to tweak things. It has a decent trigger better than the new ones I handled. Probably just broken in. I have a couple of thousand rounds of...

Thanks for the reply. The more I look at it the more I like it. I think I did ok with it. Whoever owned it treated it right. The gun has the sen5 of Hoppes #9 emanating from it. I plan on going through it later today. I am on vacation this week so I plan on heading to the range a few times.

I picked up a 10/22 today. This is my first 10/22. I have been looking for a few months at different models and wanted one with a wood checkered stock and stainless barrel. No particular reason why. I came across one today that I see some call the Walmart Special from what I have seen. It...

Sorry but I never seen this and also for not updating the post. Ruger send me a new GP100 and I had it in 8 days after sending the bad one in. They told me they would replace it on a Thursday, shipped the new one on a Friday, arrived at my FFL on the following Monday. I picked up on a...

Any new revolver design is always welcomed but I sure wish they would come out with a 6 shot .357 similar in size to an SP101.

As an update Ruger has advised me they will be replacing gun. It will be 2-3 weeks before I get it but I am not complaining.

This weekend I picked up a used GP100 in 22LR at my local dealer. I had been wanting one of these but they don’t show up to often. I know there is always the online option but I try to keep it local if I can. Well anyways I took it home and while cleaning I noticed that the barrel was not...

OP if the firing pin didn’t make any indent in the primer then all I can think in the transfer bar didn’t move up. If it happens again, or maybe not, I would give Ruger a call. See what they say.

The grips are starting to grow on me. I went to the range yesterday and I had a decent outing with it. I really like the size of them and the look but function for me will always beat fit. Too early to make the call. Even if I did change them the compacts would be kept. This may be the...

I have a 6inch stainless Security Six from 1975 and it’s one of my favorites. I think $419 is a fair price for it. Without seeing it it’s hard to make the call but if I was looking and came across one at $419 I would try for $400 out the door. See if they bite or at least negotiate some. You...

A week or so ago I picked up a 1989 3inch GP100 and since I have taking it to the range 3 times. So far so good. http://www.rugerforum.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=269667 On the first outing it was apparent the sights needed some help as I had a hard time picking up the front sight. A...

Hi folk. Picked up a 3 inch GP100 today. I went to my local dealer wanting to look at a S&W 437 they had posted on gunbroker but it just sold. Then I seen the GP100 sitting there marked at $449. I end up getting it for $400 plus tax. It looks to have been made in 1989. To my surprise it...

I came across a used GP100 Match Champion that doesn't have Match Champion written on the barrel. The other side of the barrel has GP100 on it but the etching is not dark like I have seen with others. The barrel has the shortened lug like a MC would so it is a MC barrel. Out of curiosity I...
