The Ruger GP100 4" .357 Magnum is a medium-frame, double-action revolver engineered by Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. for reliability, durability, and versatile performance with both .357 Magnum and .38 Special cartridges. It is widely respected for its rugged construction and strong mechanical design, making it suitable for range use, defensive applications, and general-purpose shooting.
Platform Overview
Caliber: .357 Magnum (also chambers .38 Special)
Action Type: Double-Action / Single-Action (DA/SA) revolver
Capacity: 6 rounds
Frame/Barrel Material: Steel construction (blued or optional stainless variants)
Finish Options: Satin stainless or blued steel (model dependent)
This model blends classic revolver operation with modern manufacturing to deliver consistency shot after shot.
Barrel and Sights
Barrel Length: 4.0 inches (factory standard; some listings note 4.2" as the marketed length)
Front Sight: Ramp-style front sight (often with fiber optic or HiViz options on some variants)
Rear Sight: Adjustable rear sight for precision aiming and sight picture adjustment
The 4" barrel length offers a balanced combination of maneuverability and sight radius for improved accuracy at typical engagement distances.
Ergonomics and Controls
Grip: Standard Hogue® rubber Monogrip® designed to absorb recoil and provide secure handling
Safety System: Patented transfer bar safety mechanism minimizes risk of accidental discharge, allowing safe handling and loading/unloading procedures.
Cylinder Locking System: Triple-locking cylinder (locks at front, rear, and bottom) enhances alignment and lockup strength, contributing to long-term durability and consistent performance.
The GP100's grip frame also accepts many aftermarket grips for customized ergonomics.
Performance and Handling
.357 Magnum Performance: Designed for sustained use with high-pressure magnum loads while still comfortably handling lighter .38 Special ammunition.
Recoil Management: The medium frame and rubber grip help mitigate recoil, improving control and comfort during extended shooting sessions.
Trigger System: DA/SA operation allows versatile pull characteristics, with double-action for rapid fire and single-action for precise, lighter pulls.
Dimensions and Weight
Overall Length: Approximately 9.5 inches (varies slightly with specific variant)
Weight: Approximately 40-41 oz (dependant on finish and exact configuration)
This weight and balance aid in recoil absorption and smooth handling.
