Just picked up my new GP100 3" SS. Somebody must have been in a very good mood when they assembled it. The damn gun is just about perfect. Finish is good, lockup is perfect, and the trigger is so good I don't think it'll need any buffing. The trigger is light, and there is no endshake. I think I got very lucky. When I went to pick it up this afternoon, I was all set to have them send it back because of all the negatives I had read about, poor finish, gritty trigger, excessive endshake, etc. But this think would give the older S&W revolvers a run for their money. What do you folks think, a fluke, or is Ruger starting to pay attention?

I have a 3" on the way as well. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Was thinking of a RH or SRH, but eventually settled down on this GP.

Not a fluke. I have a bunch of very nicely done Rugers, all still factory stock. And they shoot too!
Not sure if I'm lucky or what but I've had very good luck with revolvers. I would say no fluke.
The ones that get all the attention are the few not so good ones. Enjoy. ps

Other than a minor scuff on the barrell, my Acusport Bisley was fine right out of the box. A previous GP100 and Redhawk were both good to go after only a minor fluff and buff. This has been spread out over the past twenty years or so. So far, I'm three for three.

You only hear about the problems on the news. If it bleeds it leads. No revolver problems with me, unless I was trying to improve something...

I think your experience reflects the majority of Ruger's products. You gotta take all the hater's comments with a huge grain of salt. They all have different motives for whining, but most likely there is no basis in fact for their complaint. Most would find fault in any gun.

The latest was my blued homade Accusport, that I had to have Mag-na Port do some work on to correct some of my work, that was an expensive cheep fix. Experience is expensive.
