Ruger GP100 Usage and Features

Primary Use

Home Defense

Are you right or left handed?

Right Handed

What features does this gun have that appealed to you?

It’s big, and heavy, and it feels good to shoot. When I bought it, the guy at the gun shop said I was buying a “tank”, and indeed it is. I like the weight of it.

Tell us about shooting this gun.

What I like about it, is there is very little recoil when I shoot it. It is easy to shoot.

How would you describe the recoil, is it manageable?

Very little recoil, especially when I use .38 rounds

How does it fit your hand, are the controls of this gun easy to use? (Safeties, slide pull, magazine release, trigger pull, etc.)

It fits my hand well. My husband changed the grip to one that fits my hand.

Do you like the sights on this gun?

Yes. It is easy to sight in.

How reliable is it?

I never had a problem with it. It fires reliably every time I use it.

Any problems with any type of ammunition?

None, whatsoever.

Was it easy to take down and clean?

It is. Revolvers are pretty easy to clean.

Is there anything you dislike about shooting this gun?

Not crazy about putting .357 through it. That makes it kick more than I like.

For someone considering this gun, what would you tell them?

See if you can try one first. The size and weight are not for everyone.

Would you recommend this gun? If no, do you have a preferred gun?

I would definitely recommend this.
