but few will scare anyone with half a brain quite like a Magnum 357. That’s why we put together this Ruger GP100 Revolver 357 Magnum Review.
Ruger American Rifle, and the new AR 556 (ah, so many great guns, and so little cash!). Thank God there are still products in America which you can purchase sight unseen at a fair price, and know you are getting a lot more than expected for your hard earned money. Many thanks, Mr...
The Ruger SP101 made its debut in 1988. It was a small-frame revolver intended to be the stablemate for the GP100 that had supplanted the firm's small Security-Six wheelgun. The SP101 was originally designed as a .38 Special, but according to the bookRuger & His Guns, defense expert...

Used, they often go for about $100 less. That price, in my opinion, is a pretty good value. However, the finish is somewhat lacking, and if it weren’t for that, I would say it was an excellent value. Concluding Thoughts If you’re looking for a revolver that can handle heavy .35...
The company is into rimfires in a big way. In addition to semi-auto pistols, they build several rimfire revolvers ranging in price from the $200 Wrangler to the $800-plus GP-100. This is only counting handguns. If we look at rifles, that would require a new, lengthier review. Suffic...
