- The 4 inch barrel .357 Magnum Ruger GP-100 is my idea of a "do it all" handgun. I'm just having some fun and yapping about it in this video.

"We're shooting at 50 yards. For those of y'all pestering me about using the metric system that's 150 feet". Had to hear that twice haha
😂🤣😂👍🏻
Do you think it was intended
ME TOOOOO
😆👍🇺🇸
He got me questioning my own knowledge!!! 🤣😂🤣😂
"We're shooting at 50 yards. For those of y'all pestering me about using the metric system that's 150 feet". this is the reason i subscribed.
Chuckled at the sarcastic remark of adding the .2 inches to the barrel saving lives.
:)
We have lots of dumb firearm rules here in Canada that do nothing to enhance safety or prevent crime. With regard to the 4" barrel rule it is supposed to be about keeping easily concealable firearms out of the hands of criminals. So a Glock 19 would be prohibited due to the 4" barrel but it is ok for us to have a Glock 19 with a threaded barrel since it makes it just long enough to be safe for us to own.
Oh .. Canada .
Lol. I’m an idiot. I thought he was serious.
@@mendozaboys We have a whole heap of DUMB RULES in the USA that have zero to do with crime. Who invents the rules? People with numb minds, ie. liberals, Communists, bureaucrats, weak minded anti-self sufficient rich folk with nothing better to do than scheme up ways to control others.
My father trained me and my brother on this gun. He had us shoot the 38 specials first, and a few reloads later he snuck in a few 357 rounds in there. He did this to a show us the difference between the cartridges and reinforce the need to simply relax and squeeze instead of anticipating the shot and screwing our aim. Got us used to it really quick.
I sure am glad they added the extra 1/5'' of barrel length. So many Canadian lives have been spared because of this.
Who needs Canada anyways?
Well think about that next time you have some waffles
@@gamegaming9451 that's okay, we have Vermont for Maple syrup
The GP100 is a seriously well-built revolver. It utilizes a hefty frame that can handle pretty much any load you can put through it. In fact, everything Ruger makes is tougher than it needs to be, which means you don't have to worry about cracking your frame or barrel if you prefer to fire a steady diet of heavy load .357 Magnum cartridges. If you want a revolver that will last pretty much forever you can't go wrong with the GP100 (or anything else Ruger makes for that matter).
Sounds like the French Manurhin. GIGN chose D.A. 357 and commissioned Manurhin to make their guns.
Do you work for Ruger?
I have owned many firearms in my lifetime and Ruger is without a doubt the best all around firearm company. They have the best quality of any brand that I have owned. Not saying the others are bad but rifles and and all guns manufactured by Ruger have always been top shelf for me.
The next gun I purchase will be a 357 magnum and it will take the place of my 10 mm. That way I can get superior firepower in a lighter and smaller frame.my 2 favorite pistol calibers for the lowest has been the 357magnum and the 10 mm, both with hot loads. Once I get my 357 mag for carry I will purchase the Berretta M9a3 g model in sniper gray. This will hopefully complete my hunger for firearms but I doubt it.
Will this bad boy take on a specific load that's for My Henry big boy All Weather in 357mag? Federal hammer down 357mag (bhp) in 170gr? I am strongly interested in purchasing and pursuing this opportunity for a Ruger gp100 in the Wiley clapp talo edition(ss) matted steel 3" barrel.
I've had my GP 100 for years now. What a champion pistol. I've changed out the grips for a Hoage that protects my middle finger from the trigger guard impact. Ouch. All is well now. At 100 yards I can maintain a group of about 6 inches. Not bad for iron sights and 66 year old eyes
Great handgun for sure. That's some grouping, 66 year old eyes or not!
Toophless1 I am interested in s new 357 - 4” what Do you recremmed- S&W or Ruger.
Jimmy, Ruger.
@@jimmysapien9961 Definitely the Ruger, and I'm a S&W fan (I've owned over 4 smiths, MPs, a few revolvers, the really good-yet-terrible 442...if you ever fired one you'd know what I mean. It's literally meant as a last resort lmao)
I've had mine for over 25 years and I love it. I also have a 6" 686, you can never have too many revolvers 😎
The GP-100 is my favorite revolver. That thing is indestructible.
Practical, relibale and freakin beautiful. My favorite revolver.
Practical, relibale and freakin beautiful. My favorite revolver.
Joshmsu45 what about S&W 357 ?
@johnny wanker I conceal carry it daily....no problem
this guy has a calm southern accent that just goes so well with a revolver review.
+mcc 1522 Thanks :)
for sure dude keep those revolver reviews comin out brah
mcc 1522 Will do man!
I know this sounds stupid, but my GP 100 helped me quit smoking! I had smoked for 24 years and ended up with kidney cancer. I quit cold turkey. When the cravings got intense I would polish, handle, and dry fire my GP 100 to keep my mind occupied. I have many many guns and this one is by far my favorite. Something about a rugged built revolver that is simple in design that also looks good.
JD white. Look at some videos. Dr. Jerry mcglaughlin from Purdue, biochemist. Look into paw paw sold by natures sunshine. We saved my wifes brother in a couple months. From huge tumors during in hospital to no tumors. Need more then that. Herbs to clean body and herbs to boost immune system. You can beat that cancer. Good luck.
A few months age I bought a 1975 Ruger Police Service Six fixed sight model in 38 Special. It's a 4" blue with wood grips. The gun spent most of it's life in a safe and looks new, no rust, the blue is perfect. Its just a beautiful old classic gun.
+NAHAAFB Wow, that sounds sweet. I love the classics.
If you could own only one handgun, a stainless steel, 4", Ruger GP100 or S&W 686 357 mag is the wisest choice of all handguns available today due to sheer versatility and performance. "Versatile" things rarely do anything great but they do a lot of things well. The 4 " .357 mag is an anomaly in that respect. It really does do everything great. Yes, they can be on the big and heavy side but they will gobble up anything you can stuff in them, hit with authority, shoot way more accurate than you can ever hold, easy to maintain, get smoother and smoother with use, and last forever. The 4" .357 mag truly is the world's best handgun even among the high tech, plastic space pistols available today. Don't get me wrong, I like my plastic space pistols but they may come and go. I will never be without a .357 mag.
Great comment.
Buffalo's Outdoors Thank you. I really enjoyed the video. Again, great job. Take care
GLOCKCOPG23 why not a 3"? 😍
Exactly! I Love my Glock but if I had to chose between two pistols the Glock would be out for my GP-100! I agree.....never without a .357!
GLOCKCOPG23 Very well said friend. If I could choose just one pistol it would be the GP100 with 4 inch barrel.
I've had one of these since 1999 when I returned to the U.S.A. from an extended tour of duty "South of the Border". While we were away my mother-in-law (God bless her) passed away and her home was "robbed" the same night. All my firearms were taken with the exception of my tack driving 1911 which I had taken South with me and the family.
I purchased the Ruger GP-100 to replace my stolen Ruger Police Six 357 (4 inch barrel) , which had seen years of duty with an uncle who was with the Georgia State Patrol. That Ruger Police Six was awesome. I used to reflex shoot 7" steel plates at 30 meters using 38 ammo and hardly ever missed. I was really lucky because my Navy command would let me use my personal weapon for practice and support me with a limitless amount of 38 hard-cast practice rounds. Hell, in 1993 my command and the five teams under it shot more ammo than the entire U.S. Marine Corps training allotment for that year, plus the surplus that the U.S. Army "Old Guard" generated that year and needed to roll off to another tier one command. Damn . . . those were some good days! BUT I DIGRESS !
I've put over 10,000 rounds thru my Ruger GP-100 since '99, and that's not counting the numbers my son has shot when he went to the range without me. The GP-100 is a beast ! Also, out to 50 or 60 yards, I can't tell a difference in accuracy between the 4" and the 6" models but the 4" clears the holster faster !
Good Times, Brothers ! Good Times . . .
Back in 1998 i baught a GP100. It was my favorite revolver but sold it like a dummy in 2005. I regreted it big time. I carried on all hunting fishing camping adventures.
I just baught another GP 100 in 6 inch.
I love this revolver i still take it now on my adventures just like the old days.
If I was told I could only have one revolver, period, it would be the GP100. I know it would last my lifetime plus.
+Patriot Bill I agree, good choice.
agreed!
Patriot Bill SS OR Blue Finish ??
@@jimmysapien9961 I love the blued finishes.
I love my GP 100 with a 3" barrel Awesome firearm
I agree. I have a GP-100 3inch that is crazy accurate with..44 Russian loads. I reload using 200 grain cast projectiles with 5.7 grains of Universal propellant. Hardly any recoil, similar to.38 Special. Ruger has built a fine revolver in the GP-100.
You have some great subtle jokes in there regarding the extra length of barrel and the metric system as well done...I love a good wheel gun...
+Scott F. I am starting to relax a little and just be myself.....bout time....lol
Buffalo, my man! Watching this video for what seems like the hundredth time and still do not get tired of watching it. Thanks again sir for producing this for all of us. Take care buddy!!!
Thanks so much for the views and the comment. I am glad you enjoy the video!
I love this firearm, I have the Talo exclusive 6 inch barrel. I had it tuned up with a new spring and internal clean up, it needed it to get rid of some factory rough spots. Trigger job also. Just love it.
This was the first gun that I bought myself as an adult, getting back into shooting. I love my GP100. I really enjoy the double action trigger pull, especially the spot where the hammer cocks itself back before firing. It's almost like firing it single action once you get used to it.
I've long felt that the perfect SHTF weapon system was a revolver and lever action rifle combo in the same caliber. The caliber preferably in a powerful straight-walled handgun caliber for long case life and ease of reloading. I couldn't decide between 357 Mag or 45 Colt, so I chose BOTH. The 357 Mag almost reaches the ballistics of a 30-30 out of a rifle and is incredibly flat-shooting from a lever action rifle, able to shoot flat to 300 yds with combat sight settings on a 158gr bullet. Both the 357 Mag and 45 Colt hit with such brute force from rifle or pistol that large meplat flat-point cast bullets can reliably do tremendous damage to 2/4-legged critters unlike high-priced jacketed JHP/JSP's that offer iffy performance at best. Best to cast the 357 bullets at 28 BHN hardness due to high pressure loadings, while the 45 Colt bullets can be cast in softer alloy in the 10-15 BHN range.
+63DW89A Thanks for sharing this information. 2 great calibers for sure. I hope you subscribe and hang around it seems like you are knowledgeable and I would welcome your comments.
+Buffalo I did subscribe, thank you for the invitation. Thank you for taking the time and effort to put such a great video up. Very educational and informative to anyone thinking of buying a Ruger GP 100. Not a better choice in a full-sized 357 Mag DA revolver than the GP 100. Brute strong, totally reliable, pin-point accurate, ready to go out of the box, and easy for anyone to use, expert or novice. A GP 100 will still be shooting 1-hole 6-shot groups for your great-great-great+ grandchildren, when all the little plastic pistols have been thrown in the trash centuries back!
The best thing about this review is the guy's accent. So southern, I love it.
+Joe Blow has his reply button disabled so I can't respond to his comment. I'd just like to tell him that he missed the entire point of this video which was about the versatility of the 4 inch GP100.
+Buffalo forget it. another macho wanna be screaming 3 5 7. you know in real life 357 is poor home defense due to bright flash & huge bang on the eardrums. 38 special or +p is enough. women probably wouldn't like the recoil neither.
+Will Yeah
A bright flash illuminates the room....it's not blinding. I'm not worried about ear protection in a self defense scenario...I'm worried about not being shot to death.
+Will Yeah I agree. I've always kept a .357 Magnum revolver next to my bed for home protection but it's always been loaded with good quality hollow point .38 Special cartridges. For home protection purposes the most powerful cartridge I would ever carry in it is .38+P because .357 Magnum is just too powerful for an indoor shoot situation. The only time I've used .357 Magnum cartridges is on the range or when hunting.
double-action should be shot double-action. Learn to pull just prior to hammer drop, then drop it when on target. A shooter should be able to rapidly revolve the cylinder w/o the hammer ever falling. The GP100 has a rather long pull.
Very nice. I would choose glock 32 for my do all
Just wanted to say that I agree with your take on the GP100. I bought my "used" 4 inch stainless model a few years ago. The only difference in new and used is it's cheaper and it's "pre-owned". It's one helluva tough gun!
Thanks!
I can't wait to get my first revolver. This is the one I want. Looks amazing.
A good 357 mag revolver like this Ruger would get it done in any case my small mind can think of. Back in the day it was "King" for all the right reasons.
+MrZonacat1 I guess small minds think alike cause I'm with ya ;)
This was the first video I ever watched on this channel... I remember, because I'd just bought an identical Ruger, and just wanted to see what CZcams said about it.
...and today, CZcams decided I needed to see it again, and put it as my first recommended videos.
Good stuff. 👍🏻
"...for those of you that keep pestering me about using the metric system, that comes out to 150 feet."
Awesome sense of humor!
Hahaha it's funny some didn't get the joke!
@@buffalosoutdoors hahaha 50 yards or 150 is NOT metric but they didn't seem to catch that good one lol. 54.68 yards equals 50 meters which is metric to those that don't know or 165.3333 feet.
I just traded for a 6" version. It shoots great. I've had prior experience with this model as I packed one as a duty weapon and I loved it then. The guns are a tank and will last me many years. Great video!!!
Awesome!
I love my GP-100 I purchased back in 1990. I have carried it all over Montana. It is a great revolver and is a perfect all all around revolver. Good shooting and review.
Awesome and thank you!
Well done. I'm amazed at the number of videos of nothing but gun fondling without any powder burned. Your comments were straight forward and useful, with a distinction between opinion and fact.. And you actually shot the gun! I almost purchased the GP100 with the 4" barrel but at the last minute decided on the 6" barrel. This is my 'house/out in the woods gun', not for CC. With the longer barrel I get a bit more recoil proofing, which as an older guys is nice, also get a longer sight radius, I like target shooting, and with the 6" barrel you can actually mount a rail on the top without drilling any holes. Close to over the top for me, but thinking of eventually trying out a 1x red dot sight, remember older guy. And who knows, maybe a bit of light hand gun hunting. All in all I think the GP100 is an excellent choice across the board and while normally I'd go with the 4" barrel so I could slide it in for CC, as that is already covered the 6" barrel should be considered for a wider range of uses.
Great video! Spot on information. Traditionally, I am a Smith & Wesson guy, however, when I know I’ll be shooting a course of unforgiving, punishing .357 loads, it’s the GP100 that I call up from the bullpen.
It`s a good solid revolver.
+1957Shep Thanks Shep, and I agree it sure is.
Had a GP100 with a 3 inch barrel I carried back in the late 80's - 1989 or 90 time period. Never liked the rubber grips my sport coat hung on them all the time. Now days you can get all sorts of hard grips for the GP100. I love the grips on my Match Champion nice gun. Out of all the guns I have the ones that I would let go last would be the Rugers. Speed Six, Police Six, GP100, Montado, Redhawk all around a 4 inch or shorter barrel and all could get any job done in a pinch plus have never had to order a part or fix a one of them so far..
+MrHolster That says a lot MrHolster. Your real life experience with those wheel guns just shows how they have earned that tough as nails reputation.
nothing looks better with boots and a sport jacket than a revolver... when I wear shorts and a tank top I'll sport a nice semi auto Sig.
I have owned a Ruger Blackhawk in .357, a sp101 in .357, a S&W 686 in .357, and numerous .44 mags from Ruger, and I settled with this one...the GP100 in 4.2". I won't get rid of this one...this last pistol to rule them all...the only pistol I now own. I trust it with my life.
Nice job! I have a GP-100 just like yours, and I love it. It was my duty pistol in the mid 80's. I like your gun but I especially like your version of the Southern American Metric System.
+Silk Road Prowler Thank yee. I really like this revolver. I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
😄 In reference to the metric system, “that’s 150 feet.” Gotta love that!
I think this would be it for me. What a beautiful revolver.
I own the stainless steel model with the 4.2" barrel. Great looking revolver ,in my opinion, and a very strong design. The thing to understand about the GP100 is that it was designed in the 1980's - approximately fifty years after the introduction of the .357 Magnum cartridge (1935). By the 1980's the effects of firing constant magnums in a revolver was well known. So Ruger designed the model around the 357 magnum. It's not an older design adapted to magnum loads. It is a magnum level revolver. It is also what used to be called a duty revolver. A little late when it came out (1985) but it was aimed at the police/security market/hunting crowd. By the late eighties semi-autos were taking over in law enforcement, but many still appreciate the GP100. It's an open carry duty belt handgun and designed for heavy usage both in terms of exposure to the elements, daily wear and tear and heavy shooting. It was not designed for the CCW crowd.
Just want to say thanks for your work, really appreciate the channel. You've helped me make up my mind between this, a 686 or a Taurus 66. I've got a 4" blued GP bought and paid for waiting at the LGS, my state has a 2 week wait on handguns. "Sucks!" 12 more days and I can bring it home to meet the rest of the family, man I can't wait! Thanks again buffalo, keep em comin'
Man that 2 week wait does suck! I am glad you are enjoying the channel!
no question its a great gun i had one but it was to big and heavy i sold it and got a sp 101 357 version
both great guns made very well
richard in the tropics
You're a hell of a good shot man. Nice. Great all round gun!
I bought mine a few months ago. I was so lucky to find one. There wasn't any available online that I could find, and my local sportsman store had one. I spend up my savings to buy it, and it's been wonderful.
Here I sit, in the early morning dark and sipping my first cup of coffee and darn near spit hot brew on the screen when I heard your one liner metric conversion..............that was funny. I bet I chuckled for a full minute. When I read the comments by folks who did not understand it was intended to be a funny I started chuckling all over again. Great way to begin the day and the wife gave me a range pass all day. I also recently purchased the GP100. Mine is the 6 inch barrel and it is my first revolver and it motivated me to add 357 mag and 38 spec to my reloading menu. Thanks for sharing your video and a view of your very nice shooting range.
I am glad you got the joke and enjoyed the video. My videos are meant to be taken lightly but some folks don't understand. Congrats on your recent acquisition. I love the GP-100, as if you couldn't tell by the video. Have a great day.
I love my GP100. It is a 6" and I've used it for everything from home defense to hunting mountain lions.
Great revolver!
That's what I'm looking for one pistol for all even small game
Just discovered your channel. You helped me decide on this revolver I was considering the SP101 with a 2 inch barrel but I also wanted the GP 100. Also like you I have the Glock 26 too and I agree with all you said about that model in your video.
Keep it real like you seem to do. 😎
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video!
GP-100's are excellent guns. They're extremely accurate. Nice trigger pull - very comfortable.
That particular gun and that particular Gun Company is the best out there in my own opinion. I bought my first Ruger 47 years ago, and my opinion just gets stronger as time goes by.
I really enjoy this channel. Great productions. Thx.
+Nacho ZombieKilla Thank you, I'm glad you like it. It's a work in progress, I'm always looking for ways to make it better.
IMO Ruger makes the toughest revolver on the market , Awesome shooting as always!
+KY. T.O. They sure have the reputation for toughness no doubt. Thanks Tim!
I also own a GP100 but with the 6" barrel...I will say one thing I have noticed with how heavy the GP series is made. They handle hotter loads very nicely and let you stay on target much easier. Standard .357 158 jsp rounds don't feel much different to me than a 9mm lightweight semi auto pistol..and that is a good thing as it makes it so much nicer to get accurate shooting. I would like to try the new GP100 in .44 Special sometime, but that won't be added until I get a Smith 629 performance center 44 mag hunter edition first...lol! Wheel guns are so much fun that you cannot stop with just having one! Match Champions are awesome too...So many nice revolvers to own and the long wait for me between sales....lol! Even though my GP100 does have a harder trigger pull than my old s&w 686 that I had for years. It does have an easy to get it to the "wall" after the second click to shoot it darn near as accurate as SA shooting...I will leave the trigger alone though as it really doesn't bother me the way it is...I really like how simple it is to get great groups with a handgun such as these. Happy shooting.
Have two Ruger GP100's.
The first i've had for years in the traditional .357 Mag.
A year ago i also picked up one in .44 Special.
3" barrel / 5 shot.
Overbuilt. Hell for stout !
Love it ...
I bought one of these in January and I couldn't be happier with it. thank god they started making the old style grips like the one you have on yours. I did not like the hogue grips it came with.
+Thomas Myers Did yours come with the Lett-style grips or did it come with those fugly Hogue grips? They were the first thing I took off of mine when I got it years ago and switched them out for some aftermarket grips with the rosewood inserts. I tried firing it with the original grips, and that was just not happening!
+Jack Cordial yeah it had the hogue grips. I went right to ruger's website and ordered the old style grips with the rosewood panels. makes the gun look so much better and fits my hand better too.
Hate the hogue as well
I am a GP-100 owner an will tell you that I enjoyed you "plain talk" info and shooting exhibition...
You were informative as well as not so perfect as to not try and cover any imperfections(misses).
thanks for the post
Thanks a bunch!
K Irv SS or Blue finish $$$
I sure am impressed with the GP100 too. I used to own its predecessor the Ruger Service Six. All the changes that youd want to see in it are in the GP 100 and that makes it an improved state of the Art revolver. You can take it down with a shell case . it fits the screw in the handle and then you can find a pin that fits inside and releases everything in the handle. Nice for cleaning it!! Its a great gun because I shot some very hot loads through it that were so hot, the cases would split. It handled them like a pro!! Great gun to say the least!
Purchased mine today, can't wait to take it to the range tomorrow. Awesome video as always 👍
Love the baiting of metric types. Fantastic shooting. Great video.
Thank you ;)
Yep, me too; does anyone remember Presidential candidate Lincoln Chafee that at the debate stated that the USA should show solidarity with the EU and adopt the "metric-system" my sides hurt from laughing, 4 days later he's gone...
Ha Ha. Poor Lincoln Chafee. At least he was busted out of the running early, unlike crazy uncle Bernie, who didn't know the fix was already in. :)
I shooted Holek, SaW, Taurus, Phyton BUT RUGER IS the best = is soo reliable and robus i got two GP 100 and love this gun. You can use ,38too without risk. I recommend this piece of steel !!! And absolutely agree with Buffalo review. Just one remark: The black version is tougher (that steel). Many greetings from Czech rep.
+Jaroslav Klíma The Ruger is indeed a very robust design. Thanks for commenting and hello from Kentucky!
+Jaroslav Klíma - How is the Blued version tougher than the Stainless version? I know the metal is treated differently between the two, but is Stainless just stronger as well as rust resistant?
+vulpixgrant
Carbon steel tends to be tougher and stronger than stainless steel, although I doubt many would ever realize the difference. The rust resistance and ease of refinish on SS is a worthy trade off in my opinion, as compared to maintaining a blued carbon steel finish (not to say that all carbon steel is blued- it's not.)
Jaroslav Klima, Using .38's in a .357 is not a risk of anything
Buffalo's Outdoors which is better SS OR Regular Blue finish $$$$$$
I have neither and both of yours. I have a 4-inch Security Six, .357, blue, purchased in 1978, and a GP100 Lipsey/Ruger in .44 Special, 5-inch barrel, half-lug with Roper-style stocks, that's probably four years old. Both are tough as a mother-in-law. I also loved your "conversion" to metric; thanks for sharing.
Just found your channel. Great review of a revolver I carried on the job for around 10 years. Ruger is a great choice when buying a firearm.
I'm going to purchase my first gun. The Ruger 100 may be the right choice for me. I like the revolver.
Hey Buffalo - I exchanged my GP100 front sight with one of 4 Ruger “Delrin” Redhawk colored front sights and then swapped the standard GP100 rear sight blade for a white outline Redhawk rear sight blade that’s 40/1000 taller. What a great combination! Also, I replaced the stock GP grips with a pair of Super Redhawk Hogue “Tamer” grips. Those grips have some kind of gel in the web area that really does “Tame” the recoil.
100% AGREEMENT " GOT THE SAME GP1OO 4" HOGE GRIPS" ONLY THING I DID WAS I INSTALLED FIBER OPTIC FRONT SIGHTS! GREAT REVOLVER!!!
I used to be a S&W only guy. Love Ruger now. GP100 is a great revolver
I Love Those Southern Midwest Autumns. I need to get out of Cal and back into some states with Love XD
Riley Reneau You and me both buddy. The climate change here has gotten too much for me to bear and I’m not talking about the weather. 😉 I’ve lived in Texas and in the north east and would gladly take either over The Twilight Zone state. Good luck to both of us. 👍🏻🇺🇸
Amen! Haha Amen
@Riley Reneau
Come to Tennessee, love to have you.
I like my Ruger Security-Six,,got it back in the 80s,,,,, it's the fore-runner to the GP-100, but it's ideal for the 38 special loads for long range shooting, but can handle a .357 no problem.
I love my Security six. 34 years without a problem.
I might get a GP100 someday, but my Security six is more than adequate for the time being. Plus, I only have $350 in it (after replacing the rear sight and grips)
All told that is good pistol shooting. It is not likely I could do that at my age, but I enjoy seeing you younger folks still do it today.
Yep! The venerable GP-100...... I wouldn't be caught without one somewhere in my mix... They take an action/trigger job like nobodies business and are very, very accurate revolvers. Sturdy, rugged and RELIABLE and if you train in the proper technique, they speed load well under the 2 second mark! I've had one around since they replaced the old Security Six, which were mighty fine shooters themselves!
Great shooting from a great revolver!
+Albatross497 Thanks, it's a classic for sure.
i really like this gun so much
I have watched this video at least a couple dozen times and never get tired of it. Thanks for making this one.
I'm glad that you enjoyed the video!
Good to see revolvers getting respect, I have a S&W 586, such a solid gun. That Ruger looks like a winner also.
The S&W 586 is an awesome revolver no doubt. I just did a video on the 686+ 3" and it's a beast.
The metric equivalence for 100 yard, is 91 meters. Love your accent.
What accent?
Impressive.
Sean McPherson that was funny as hell
i agree canadian gun laws are screwy, but i'm glad to be able to own a GP100...it's my favorite gun of all time
canada is a joke
Great video, thanks. Been looking at 357's and this helps to make up my mind.
I own a blued GP100 6 inches and really love it! Personally I am a fan of the stainless look when it comes to revolvers but its grown on me :D My next revolver project is a SP101 stainless in cal .38 and 2.25 inch barrel.
I bought one this year, in 7 shot. So far, so good! I prefer to use .38, because .357 kind of makes the space between my thumb and trigger finger, sore.
Have you shot +p in you pistol? Not sure how much more power that you really get using that load over a .38 Special; which I have in my nightstand.
@@Mark-qq9cd Good idea; I should experiment with that. .38+P could be a good middle ground.
@@DougMcDave your gun would handle it easily.
@@Mark-qq9cd I just realized this was my first post on that gun, right after I bought it. Since then I like to mix them up for fun, and to surprise myself. For home defense, I currently use .38 hollow point. History shows that has been deadly!
Toss up between the Ruger GP100 and the S&W 686, both are excellent pistols.
The GP100 is about $100 cheaper unless you get a match champion version.
I agree.....I'm in the same boat....difficult decision!
686 doesn't hold up nearly as well as the gp100 to full house 357. Get the GP
I bought the Match Champion GP100 and it cost a lot more AND WORTH EVERY PENNY! Perfect firearm .. reloading renders much better rounds than store bought. .357 is great out to 200 yards in the Marlin .. same for the pistol just more sight adjustment.
@Brandon Smith spoken like a true, desperate S&W fanboy who just can't accept the truth. It's ok sweetheart, your pretty smiths are good guns as well, just more fragile
Best Revolvers on the Market!!! I want the Redhawk 357 next!! 4" barrel or even the 2"model!!
I have 2 6" GP100's Love them and really enjoyed you're video. Thanks for the review
+Jeff Stanfield You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it. These guns have a great reputation for a reason.
This guy is an amazing shot
+Jacob Carter Thanks!
that's a very good revolver!
I love my GP100, it's was my first handgun purchase, I bought it in the late 1980's. I chose the stainless steel model with a 6" barrel. For those of you who like metrics, that's 0.5 feet. I wish now that I chose the more practical 4" barrel. I enjoyed your video, keep on rocking in the free world.
I just bought a blued 5 inch. Have a 3 inch SP101, so I think 5 was a good choice.
I have never heard of this guy. Love the video! "intra-quit" LOVE IT!!!!
Thank yee ;)
Its like the m1 abrahms of revolvers
Like the way you converted 50 yards into 150’
Using the “metric system “ 🤣
"...how many lives " 😅😅
I love my GP100, SP101, and Redhawk. ( and now my GP100 in 44 special) They all have what I call a "Stagging" trigger. Takes a bit to get used to, but I love that trigger. If you want a smooth trigger, try their
GP 100 Match Champion.
Excellent vids, good shooting!
Bravo! The GP100 is my favorite handgun of all! For those guys out there, who are not necessarily enthusiasts, but are looking for one great all around gun this is your huckleberry! Of course, enthusiasts should definitely get one too...Great review
+Blue collar guns and gear Thank you!
I just love your metric system. Now I can finally relate measurements with Europeans! LOL!!!
I got a 4 inch barrel
Dry sense of humor. Loved your video. Beautiful gun.
I used to have a 4" GP-100 about 20 years ago. I sold it at some point, big mistake!. But I missed it so much, that I bought another one, used about a year ago. Great gun, great choice for a one gun owner.
+Jeff Donner Thanks for the comment Jeff. At least you learned from your mistake and corrected it!!
damn good shot this guy is nomatter what or how many misses.
Thank you, some days I do pretty well and others not so much....
Buffalo's Outdoors thats life at the end of the day nothing never goes smooth..
LAMLM24/7/365 That is true. Thank you.
I would "like" this video but two things keep me from doing so. 1) Yards isn't metric. 2) There are 357 likes. I'm not going to ruin that.
one yard equals 3 feet, if that helps
Jacob Carter Attention to detail and getting a joke helps more.
+Matt Marzula it's called "playing along" genius
Jacob Carter I don't get it? What are you playing along with? It made absolutely no sense to explain that a standard measurement is equivalent to 3 of another standard measurement. Unless you can explain how you're playing along or making a joke then I have to just tell you straight up that I don't get it and it isn't funny. In fact, it undermines my simple and effective observational humor. Which is not playing along at all. In fact, it is going directly against what I was trying to point out and sort of aggravating. Was that your intent? Because mission accomplished.
+Matt Marzula LOL KEEP GOING!!!
I know this video is old but I wanted to say you really sold me on this gun going to pick mine up tomorrow. Great review.
Great video and beautiful revolver. Keep up the great videos bud, I love watching them.
+Ezra Laskar Thanks for tuning in to my channel!
He missed at total of six times in a 10 minute video. He hit everything at 30, missed two at 50 and three at 100. Nice shooting. Just remember children. If he has anything other than a butter knife he can hit you out to 400 yards!
I can't believe the guys that did the metric system joke, even corrected Buffalo, must be liberals
I'm glad you got it Tony.
Great video, thanks!! These are beautiful firearms. The 4.2 is nearly perfect.
I had the pleasure of shooting a neighbor's GP100 Match Champion.That was the sweetest shooting revolver I have ever fired.I think the trigger parts on the Match Champion have been polished & designed to be much smoother,maybe more of a target trigger.It's just as good as any Smith & Wesson revolver,maybe better.Good video.
+garageguy879 I haven't shot the Match Champion series but I've heard lots of good things. Thanks man.
