Ruger GP100 as a first handgun???

Ruger also has a repair depot in Quebec...should you ever need it..

"It did, and so does any new American made firearm, require a trigger job though.

Good thing my Colt and S&W did not get the memo

the GP-100 (mine's a 6 inch full shroud stainless model) was my first centerfire & it's built like a tank. Sometimes the double action trigger pull is a little gritty but all you have to do is polish the strut that holds the hammer mainspring to get rid of it.

Gun Tests magazine -which runs no-BS tests and accepts no ads - just gave it its top handgun of 2006 award.
