Gun Descriptions

Ruger GP100 Match Champion

Triple-locking contoured cylinder is locked into the frame at the front, rear and bottom for more positive alignment and dependable operation shot after shot and enables easy re-holstering. The ejector and chamber mouths have a light chamfer to aid loading. Patented grip frame design easily accommodates a wide variety of custom grips. Takedown of integrated subassemblies requires no special tools and allows for easy maintenance and assembly. Patented transfer bar mechanism provides an unparalleled measure of security against accidental discharge. A custom Hogue hardwood grip with stippled sides permits an ideal grip for competition shooting. (Patented grip frame design easily accommodates a wide variety of custom grips.) The slab-sided, half-lug 4.2" barrel delivers lively handling for quick transition between targets and also features an 11 target crown for competitive-level accuracy. Polished and optimized internals, a centering boss on the trigger, and centering shims on the hammer produce a smooth double-action trigger pull and a crisp and consistent let-off. A fixed Novak LoMount Carry rear sight and fiber optic front sight allows for a fast and visible sight picture.

Ruger SP101

The Ruger SP101 is a series of double-action revolvers produced by the American company Sturm, Ruger & Co. The SP101 is a small frame and all-steel-construction carry revolver, with a five-shot (.38 Special, .357 Magnum, and 9×19mm Parabellum), six-shot (.327 Federal Magnum and .32 H&R Magnum), or eight-shot (.22 LR) cylinder. The Ruger SP101 was introduced in 1989 as the smaller-frame counterpart to the GP100. Both of these revolvers, together, replaced Sturm, Ruger & Co's long-standing staple in the American firearms market, the Ruger Security-Six series revolvers. A 9 mm version was available until its discontinuation around 1998, but was later re-released in early 2018. A basic .22 LR version was also available until 2003 while a redesigned version was introduced in 2011.
