@pjgraves1975 ....Balls na jk just get ya just get use to it. Fire a bunch of guns and notice you keep your eyes open. Kind of like a scary movie, I know something scary will happen so I know it's coming and brace myself.
Wondering a good way to keep from squinting at the muzzle flash...I'm good using a .38 load in my GP100, but for the .357, I find I squint due to the flash.
I prefer a 4" for duty use & open carried mine when I lived in Ky.When I first bought my GP 100 20 years ago,I noticed with the .38 Specials,it didn't recoil as much but the .357s made the gun stand up & say "Hello!".
Nice! I just purchased this gun and can't wait to take it to the range. Beautiful, yet rugged- you can't go wrong!
I almost didn't go with the 6", but after getting home with it and holding it (and yes, posing with it in front of the mirror...that's what we like to do when we get home with a new addition to the family), I knew I had picked the right gun!
i bought this gun for my father for Christmas 1995. For my b-day back in june he suprised me and gave it back. I fkn love this gun, out of all my pistols its by far my fav. ;-)
nice firearms my friend. I wonder how the recoil is on your 4" GP100 vs. the 6". boy, I'd like to get a hand on one of those 454's some day... thanks for watching.
Bought my 357 GP100 4" stainnless from Buds 2 months ago for $ 515. with free shipping. Have a Taurus ragingbull 454 casull with 6" and a S&W 44 mag in 5 " and the Ruger is much more fun to shoot than they are. Top quality and built to last a lifetime. Try an Uncle Mikes Sidekick or a Readyholster....both under 20 bucks and work great. Was using a Gripswell pistol shooting glove with the 454 and 44, but the Ruger GP100 strength tames the recoil a lot.

@maskedman72 I got a Ruger GP100 Stainless w/ a 4 inch Barrel - it was my first gun, too. I absolutely love it! It handles .357 like a dream and when you shoot .38 spl, it feels like your shooting a .22!!!
I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do. Such a good price for an amazing revolver.
I bought my GP100 in 2004 for about 450 bucks new. They have gone up since. Amazing revolver, tuff as nails. Will out live me for sure, especially since i only shoot it maybe 5 or 6 times a year, but always with Hot loads for that fun factor.
i dont know what finish they where doing though when i picked mine up, but its not as purdy as the new ones with stainless. Mine is a dull almost grey metallic. I still love it though, and it didnt come with the new hogue grips ruger is shipping them with
@bottle2lip - Sounds like you either have nickel or brushed stainless. Doesn't sound bad to me at all. If you want it shiny, just polish it with some Flitz. Also, the original grips with wood insert were better than ones with regular hogue monogrips. The only hogue grips that feel good with the gp100 is the hogue tamer grips.
The GP100 is one mighty tough revolver (IMO the stoutest mass-produced .357 Magnum ever); I LOVE my 4" SS .357! Sure wish Crossbreed made a SuperTuck IWB for them, though... I also have the SP101, 3-1/16" .357 to rotate concealed carry with my SIG.
How much did everyone Pay for thier GP100? Just curious. After tax mine was like $588. Just bought it yesterday and really want to get out and put some rounds thru it. :)
@Abomb520 Ya I think I payed a biut much but I guess its worth $588 as its a Ruger, is built like a tank and with care will last me my entire lifetime
@bigdogITbiker Well that was 1998 so things were alot cheaper then hehe. I must ask why do you regret buying it. What dont you like about it? I took it out last weekend and put 75 rounds thru it and I must say its a nice accurate gun. Trigger could use alittle work but other then that great gun.
@4thReichProductions back then, my brother just purchased his house, up in the rural areas of minnesota, by brainerd, he talked about buying hand gun, a 357 magnum, any 357, and this ruger was the one at the store, (and the price didn't seem much back then), he took me to the store to pt out the gun, and that got me thinking I should too have a gun, so i bought it, then we shoot about 20 rnds up in his lands back in '98, then my ruger has been sittin' in its case since then, kicking meself since
@4thReichProductions I do enjoy shooting it; but got no job, has college loans debts, shooting can be expensive. I need to re-evaluate my purchasing habits. If this whole situation turns really bad for me down the road, I might need to go live off the land in the wild, and who knows, that piece will come in handy when I and the bears/cougars have an encounter. I have seen many vids here on the "tube" about the US dollar debasing, the new world order, the economy down the toilets, virus.etc,
@bigdogITbiker S'why I got meself a 9mm Taurus PT92. At my Wal-Mart, $10.50 a box is galaxies cheaper than $2x.xx for a box of .357 Magnums. It's just not as fun to shoot as the 6-inch GP100.
Don't know if this has been mentioned and I am far from an expert but I think for a better grip you should try to grip the gun (try to picture) with your main hand with your thumb up like a thumbs up, then bring wrap your support hands and place your fleshy part of your thumb on your hand to fill the gap and then have your right thumb over your left instead of the other way around. Also when shooting SA you should use your support hand thumb to cock the hammer so as to not break your grip.
@mixwell1983 I like the technique you mentioned when I'm shooting SA pistols. When it comes to revolvers, I don't know why its more comfy with all fingers wrapped...
@Abomb520 - Ahh gotcha. The only revolver I have is a little .22 colt single action army so I don't shoot revolvers too often but I still try to use the thumbs forward grip however I kinda curl up my support thumb so those gases coming out near the cylinder doesn't burn my hand.. All in all nice gun. I'm thinkin a .357 for my next handgun and I'm really liking the gp100 for the price or possibly a taurus but I never see them on sale so ya.
Bought a 6 inch model this year and I love it. Almost bought a Taurus instead for 100 dollars less but the Ruger is made in the U.S.A. If American's don't support America who will?
@ruger338magnum well said good sir. And a fine choice too! I've shot both. Rugers revolvers (in my opinion) are smoother and the trigger seems to function smoother as well. plus, its a handsome gun. And hell yeah, its made in America.
@frankgon4 lol, after shooting 357 loads through the beast, shooting .38's does seem rather, whats the word.... not as satisfying. lol, but still fun to shoot.
@blah1752 thanks. I was looking at those vaqueros at my local gun store yesterday. they look and handle sweet! I love the old school western look. I might consider very soon. I could see what you mean about the grouping though. thanks for watching.
@Abomb520 You picked a good choice of weaponry, I love this gun, I've owned this gun now for about a few months, I was at the range yesterday and It was center mass all day.
thanks for the video!!!! I was shopping for a good home defense gun. Now i know that I want a Ruger GP100. I'm going to get the all black one. Nice shooting!!! Can't wait till I get mines!!!!
@boxant its only slightly larger, the frame is considered a "medium" as opposed to the sp101's small frame. I've always wanted the sp101, the 3" to be exact too!
In a 3 or 4-inch barrel version, the GP100 makes a great CCW weapon, using the Hoffner's Miurage Ultimate Revolver Holster. That holster keeps the cylinder above belt-line, and lets only the barrel go IWB. FAR more comfortable than having a Glock/1911 slide IWB believe me!
Teamed with a couple of Bianchi speed-strip reloads, it makes for a compact easy to carry and take off CCW.
Beats any auto pistol I've ever tried to hide for CCW. And all with legendary 357 Mag stopping power!
@coltperc I've always wanted the smaller version, it's like a mini cannon in your hand. I've never shot Bianchi ammo, but you seem pretty confident with their fire power, so I bet they are sweet. thanks for watching.
@Abomb520 no that isnt what he is talking about. a speed strip is a plastic strip that holds the number of bullets that go in the cylinder in the strip and you load the cylinder with the bullets in the strip
@coltperc Interesting statement I have to agree I have to GP-100 357 4' barrel and it's my CCW I carry everyday, what an awesome gun and reliable it's beyond that, I'm semi atuo fan but semi is something u have constantly keep clean or it'll jam/failure to feed. One thing I can say about the revolvers they always work and low maintenance.
@coltperc Ruger's SP101 is actually a little better for CCW because there's no hammer spur that could get caught on you clothing. But I suppose that all depends on how you carry concealed. I've tried every way possible to carry the 4-inch GP100 concealed and the only way I could draw it fast enough was when I cut the spur off the hammer and smoothened and polished the little sucker out.
yes, the perfect home defense gun imo. I'd stoke it with the federal 158 hydra loads and never look back. FBI can't be wrong about the best manstoper ever. Great gun, it's at the top of my list.
@75mm lol, nutless-mule. The 4" is the perfect size for me, just haven't come across a good deal yet. thanks for watching, and sorry for the late comment.
@308scoutrfl It was bought off a former marine, they guy was a way older man, he had this for a number of years so I'm not sure if he did anything to it. He said that for many years it is what he kept under his mattress while he slept...
This is what i carry when I'm backpacking. I load it up with some Double Tap 200 grain hard-cast lead bullets. they go through just about anything. as long as you aren't in Alaska, this gun can take down just about anything out there.
most problems we deal with are hammer jumps (when you cock it and pull the trigger the hammer feels like it jumps) or cylinder recycles (meens the cylinder will rotate the wrong direction) thats because of the latch not dropping soon enough.....so all in all man you should be good ruger guns are inspected pretty hard through us builders the inspector and QA
no not many problems like that at all man at least with ruger guns....most problems with not firing is a timing issue...what strikes the bullet in a ruger double action revolver is the end of the button so if the latch or the pawl witch is what turns the cylinder is not the right size it will cause it to fire in between chambers...but like i said rugers dont usually have these problems
@moss33 I have question. I have had problems with both my Taurus and S&W revolvers not hitting the primer hard enough to set it off. Have you seen any problems like this with Ruger GP100s? So far my GP100 has been flawless I hope it does not have the same problem in the future.
I own a S&W 500 and sometimes I have the same problem. If you're reloading your own ammo like me and that ammo uses magnum primers you will get some failure here and there. There's a solution around that. MidwayUsa have an aftermarket firing pin (50% more larger that original one) that will solve your problem. I hope this help.
really? he left? great. I guess runnin' his mouth is all that poor sap did. probably felt stupid. yeah man, hold on to yours forever. these are the REAL DEAL. thanks for sharing, and watching!
Hey iamthesuprememonkey I have a 4 inch SS D/A and love that model,what bb gun do you have jack ass,instead of bad mouthing people behind your sreen,why don`t you make a video tough man,nice vid btw
real guns? well, ok... I guess. I wonder where you heard that from...anyway, you are right about the beer and cigarettes, but I'm not really a nascar fan... too many left turns. thanks for watching.
lol, you're right about that. . Take care of your gun, and it will take care of you, I always say. I've been getting interested in reloading as well, what kit do you use? And if you have time, what do you recommend for someone new to reloading use ?
Its hard and getting harder. thats the bad thing, Im never selling any of my arms, they're more precious to me than money. also, i did some rumaging through my gun safe and found a pistol, its a ruger P91DC .40cal i dont know if ive ever even fired it. do you know anything about this gun
yeah, its only made in 40 cal. The ''DC'' models, which stood for decocker, had a decocking safety in place of the manual safety. Too bad its discontinued though, beefy and all aluminum frame, must be nice... lucccky...
unfortunatly this is true for me as well, but being as im 18 im not allowed to buy handgun munition, and i already have too much 762x39 and 30-06 so i guess shot gun ammos my next goal. I like buying ammo, its more calming than smoking cigarettes.
Lets hope handgun ammo isn't like $1000 per 50rnds by the time you are 21. lol. jk. Personally, I think that the magnum rounds and 410 shells are what I saw getting noticeably pricey. Well, the 45's too. But to me, the 9mm, 32acp, 380acp and all 22's seem to be around the same price. as they have been... Well, to be honest, I'm new to 22 ammo, so I guess I cant price talk much about that...
My sisters bf took me to the biggest gun store in the area, and EVERY HAND GUN was on no less than a five month back order. seriously its insane up there and they can get away with it because people sleep with thier guns. When i turned 18 i was givin a Ruger GP100 for my birthday. you cant even buy the damn thing now because thier all backordered.
I wish I got a gun on my birthday like that. I had to buy my own. It was pretty quick though, purchased the gun and went out to try it all within an hour. Lol, I just heard an ad this morning on the radio about a huge gun sale at this really cool local gun store called GlickTwins. I just can't believe how hard it is to get a handgun where you live. that's insane. never sell that Ruger!!!
Yeah, it's double action so you don't have to cock the hammer, but if you want maximum accuracy you will. A long-heavy trigger pull certainly won't help accuracy. I think basically everyone fires in single action mode unless it's a timed competition or a fight for your life.
thanks man. you are dead on about the CCI blazers. there was a mix of the two calibers that day, but I thought the .357 footage looked real neat. thanks for watching.
GREAT gun. I have the same one. Need to take it out and shoot it...been a while. Looked like you were shootin 357 ammo from the recoil (CCI Blazer aluminum??)--why not just shoot 38s instead? Its a little cheaper!
how's the trigger pull? in comparison to a colt or a smith

Shoot some .38's through it and they are like .22's

@frankgon4 lol, after shooting 357 loads through the beast, shooting .38's does seem rather, whats the word.... not as satisfying. lol, but still fun to shoot.

@Abomb520 After shooting .357, shooting .38 is like kissing your sister. Shooting .357 would be like kissing a hot woman.

Nice shooting! This is my first pick for a DA Revolver. You have a great piece of craftsmanship in that gun.
After buying my Ruger New Vaquero I regret not getting a long barrel because I cannot shoot groups as well as you do with those six inches of barrel.
But darn is that 4" fast out of the leather!
blah1752 1 year ago 3
@blah1752 thanks. I was looking at those vaqueros at my local gun store yesterday. they look and handle sweet! I love the old school western look. I might consider very soon. I could see what you mean about the grouping though. thanks for watching.

gentlemonsterkennels 2 years ago
@gentlemonsterkennels you're very welcome. hope you get it soon!
Abomb520 1 year ago
@boxant its only slightly larger, the frame is considered a "medium" as opposed to the sp101's small frame. I've always wanted the sp101, the 3" to be exact too!
Abomb520 1 year ago
In a 3 or 4-inch barrel version, the GP100 makes a great CCW weapon, using the Hoffner's Miurage Ultimate Revolver Holster. That holster keeps the cylinder above belt-line, and lets only the barrel go IWB. FAR more comfortable than having a Glock/1911 slide IWB believe me!
Teamed with a couple of Bianchi speed-strip reloads, it makes for a compact easy to carry and take off CCW.
Beats any auto pistol I've ever tried to hide for CCW. And all with legendary 357 Mag stopping power!
coltperc 2 years ago 5
@coltperc I've always wanted the smaller version, it's like a mini cannon in your hand. I've never shot Bianchi ammo, but you seem pretty confident with their fire power, so I bet they are sweet. thanks for watching.
Abomb520 1 year ago 4
@Abomb520 no that isnt what he is talking about. a speed strip is a plastic strip that holds the number of bullets that go in the cylinder in the strip and you load the cylinder with the bullets in the strip
footbalxfanatic26 1 year ago
@coltperc I agree.
Mr291229 1 year ago
@coltperc Interesting statement I have to agree I have to GP-100 357 4' barrel and it's my CCW I carry everyday, what an awesome gun and reliable it's beyond that, I'm semi atuo fan but semi is something u have constantly keep clean or it'll jam/failure to feed. One thing I can say about the revolvers they always work and low maintenance.
Mr291229 1 year ago
@coltperc Ruger's SP101 is actually a little better for CCW because there's no hammer spur that could get caught on you clothing. But I suppose that all depends on how you carry concealed. I've tried every way possible to carry the 4-inch GP100 concealed and the only way I could draw it fast enough was when I cut the spur off the hammer and smoothened and polished the little sucker out.
TheWitnesserer 1 year ago
yes, the perfect home defense gun imo. I'd stoke it with the federal 158 hydra loads and never look back. FBI can't be wrong about the best manstoper ever. Great gun, it's at the top of my list.

is this in mcallen? does your cousin have a 4 wheeler because i think i know him?
elferrari 2 years ago
most problems we deal with are hammer jumps (when you cock it and pull the trigger the hammer feels like it jumps) or cylinder recycles (meens the cylinder will rotate the wrong direction) thats because of the latch not dropping soon enough.....so all in all man you should be good ruger guns are inspected pretty hard through us builders the inspector and QA
moss33 2 years ago
no not many problems like that at all man at least with ruger guns....most problems with not firing is a timing issue...what strikes the bullet in a ruger double action revolver is the end of the button so if the latch or the pawl witch is what turns the cylinder is not the right size it will cause it to fire in between chambers...but like i said rugers dont usually have these problems

moss33 2 years ago
@moss33 I have question. I have had problems with both my Taurus and S&W revolvers not hitting the primer hard enough to set it off. Have you seen any problems like this with Ruger GP100s? So far my GP100 has been flawless I hope it does not have the same problem in the future.
crazyredlion4500 2 years ago
I own a S&W 500 and sometimes I have the same problem. If you're reloading your own ammo like me and that ammo uses magnum primers you will get some failure here and there. There's a solution around that. MidwayUsa have an aftermarket firing pin (50% more larger that original one) that will solve your problem. I hope this help.

unfortunatly this is true for me as well, but being as im 18 im not allowed to buy handgun munition, and i already have too much 762x39 and 30-06 so i guess shot gun ammos my next goal. I like buying ammo, its more calming than smoking cigarettes.
SupraCelica98 2 years ago
Lets hope handgun ammo isn't like $1000 per 50rnds by the time you are 21. lol. jk. Personally, I think that the magnum rounds and 410 shells are what I saw getting noticeably pricey. Well, the 45's too. But to me, the 9mm, 32acp, 380acp and all 22's seem to be around the same price. as they have been... Well, to be honest, I'm new to 22 ammo, so I guess I cant price talk much about that...

My sisters bf took me to the biggest gun store in the area, and EVERY HAND GUN was on no less than a five month back order. seriously its insane up there and they can get away with it because people sleep with thier guns. When i turned 18 i was givin a Ruger GP100 for my birthday. you cant even buy the damn thing now because thier all backordered.
SupraCelica98 2 years ago
I wish I got a gun on my birthday like that. I had to buy my own. It was pretty quick though, purchased the gun and went out to try it all within an hour. Lol, I just heard an ad this morning on the radio about a huge gun sale at this really cool local gun store called GlickTwins. I just can't believe how hard it is to get a handgun where you live. that's insane. never sell that Ruger!!!

you dont NEED to pull the hammer every time...do you? gp100 is double action right?
bruceleesdaddy 2 years ago
yeah no worries man, it goes both ways.
Abomb520 2 years ago
Yeah, it's double action so you don't have to cock the hammer, but if you want maximum accuracy you will. A long-heavy trigger pull certainly won't help accuracy. I think basically everyone fires in single action mode unless it's a timed competition or a fight for your life.
