The Ruger GP100 1702 is a high-quality revolver manufactured by the renowned firearms company, Sturm, Ruger & Co. This particular model boasts a sleek and durable stainless steel finish that not only makes it look great but also ensures its longevity.

This unique mechanism locks the cylinder into the frame at the front, rear, and bottom, ensuring that it remains securely in place during firing.

It is also ergonomically designed with finger grooves and a relatively large size that accommodates a wide range of hand sizes comfortably.

Blue GP100 4.2 inch barrel - solid. Love the blue finish on this model. Stock grip does soak up the recoil. Grips easy to change to smaller for carry or wood for a different look. Lock-up is tight, trigger DA is smooth on this example.

Ruger Tough!

This GP 100 seems like a real brute! I suppose you could break it but you would have to work hard at it.

Easy to shoot even the big bad 357mag. I have been warned of. The recoil was very manageable. I had very good control first time I fired it. I have"t a critical word to say, it"s really enjoyable to shoot.

I have the 7 inch barrel in stainless. Easy to shoot and clean. Very accurate. A bit on the heavy side. But, that helps with the recoil from the magnum rounds.

I'm an averaged-size guy: about 190 pounds on 5' 9" frame--this gun fits me perfectly (I've the 6" blued .357 version). I find this gun controllable with medium Hornady 125 and 158 grain self-defense .357 magnum loads (have not fired hot Buffalo Bore or C

Good value for a large revolver. The stock grip is ugly as sin but does a good job accepting recoil. Buy some aftermarket grips and the whole look of the gun will change. It's heavy, but it's supposed to be. Full 357 loads are a joy to shoot and 38's hard
