Great gal. $475.00 from a pawn shop that had listed the gun on gunbroker.com. I consider it the best weapon I've ever owned. Have fire hundreds of 357 mag., 38+ special rounds. Never a misfired or any other problem. I do clean it thoughly after every session, but you should. great gun, can't go wrong.

The houge grips are nice...recoil is not a problem even with the stout 357 loads. That's probably due to the fact that the gun nears a weight of about 3 lbs. The factory front sight has room for improvment but they are very easy to change and inexpensive to aquire. I reccomend HIVIZ sights. It was insanely accurate right out of the box with sub .50 inch groups at 10yrds and sub 2.00 inch groups at 20-25 yards. For me that's good enough. In Single Action the trigger breaks like glass with no take up at all. Thats a big help in staying accurate. This is the first handgun i've owned that i can put two bullets in one hole. I dont know if i've gotten better at shooting or the gun is helping me..lol just my 2 cents. If your looking for a good revolver with a nice fit and finish, and dont want to spend the extra money for a S&W...go with a Ruger GP100...you wont be dissapointed I just picked up 6″ Stainless GP100 and I am mighty impressed.

AWESOME gun, my first firearm, and after 250 rounds...WOW. shoots .38's like a BB gun, .357 not to bad. Pretty good out to 35-45 yards, an 8" paper plate has no chance! Excellent grip and recoil, I sure made the right choice....perfect for home, field, and hunting.

The guy quoted me a price and I asked him if it included the background check. He said that it did. Great gun though, especially for the price. Can't beat it. I’m not sure if they do or not.

From the way you phrased it, do you have to pay for the background check in AZ? I know you don't in NM (which is where I picked up mine), but you just never know these days. Thanks Nick!

I have taken it to the range a few times, this thing is awesome. I to was looking at a Taurus revolver but decided to go with the Ruger. Glad I did. I can't believe how accurate/smooth this thing is. This gun is a beast. Very well built. Simply put- If you are thinking about picking up one of these, DO IT you will not ever have a second thought about your decision.

Bought it back in about 1997 for $200. It had rarely been used. It is my favorite gun. I carry a XD 40 sub compact for concealed and the GP100 is my field gun. Highly recomment it. I also bought a simply rugged pancake holster for it and totally love it. It's a real man's holster!! I have a 4″ GP100 with the wood panels on the grip. Bought it back in about 1997 for $200.
