The Gun. The Super GP100 is a .357 Magnum revolver 1 built with competition in mind. Though it bears the GP100 name, it is in fact a hybrid design.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS. The GP100 is available with a few different barrel options. There is a 3 inch, 4 inch and also a 6 inch barrel. The 4 inch barrel being the one we are using here. This gun is well built. I also have a Stainless Steel Smith & Wesson in 357 Magnum. After handling the Ruger, the Smith feels sub-par.

This one hasn't been riding along in Yankee holsters for all that long, but it has all the qualities that have made other guns classics. It's strong, powerful, 

357 Magnum GP-100 revolver. The only thing I can think of is longevity since the stock steel sight is built like a tank, just like the rest of the gun itself.

The new Super GP100 chambered in 9 mm is a soft-shooting steel-plate ringer that has to be fired to be fully appreciated. It's a real pleasure to work with for a double-action revolver fan like me.

15/10/  · Review: Ruger Super GP-100. Eight-shot double-action revolvers chambered in .38 Special have become the dominant wheelgun in many action-shooting competitions.
