    I have one of these in the 4" barrel. My father gave it to me a few years back. I used it for my concealed carry class and didn't know I had to shoot it double action. Didn't matter. I did quite well with it. As a matter of fact the rangemaster walked over, shook my hand and told me he hadn't seen anyone shoot a wheelgun like that in a long time. Made my day. When I told my father about it it made his day too. =D
    Ruger makes a quality firearm.

    Have the same gun. Love the gun. Shooting 38 specials in this gun is like childs play. So little recoil. So far I like shooting Federal 357 JSP 158 gr. They seem hot for a factory load. Gonna try some buffalo bore ammo next. Especially their 180 gr. I hear it is a hot factory load. If anyone has suggestions let me know. I'm looking for powerful ammo. Obviously the GP100 eats it up.

    Own two of these now, a 6" blued and picked up recently a used 4" blued. Put matching wooden grips with aggressive stippling/checkering on them and now their perfect for my hands. Recoil with .357 especially in the 6" like in your videos is minimal! Try shooting Buffalo Bore or other hot cartridges out of a 2" snubby ;) I did, ton of fun and big fireball. But I traded in the snubby for the 4" GP-100 and haven't looked back. Nice to see some 'real' videos of the GP being shot with some buds out having fun, can't beat a good Ruger.

    This is a great gun. Last week I was practicing steel challenge and ran out of 9x19 ammo (yes, very stupid of me!) so I switched to my 6" GP100 which I was luckily carrying...and...I even improved on my (since stage) times!!! Had it for just over a month now, but never fired it double action.

      then you paid fair price i got mine for $618
      its my first pistol had my choices narrowed down between a 357 or a 1911
      picked the ruger gp100 with 6" barrel because it fit the best of the other revolvers and the selling point was this
      its half the price and will last forever

    • @pedronavajas3532
      @pedronavajas3532 10 лет назад

      True, I own a couple of colts in the 1911 and I've wanted a revolver for years. I picked the .357mag for a couple of reasons, one is the choice I had to either shoot the .38 longs or the .357mags. Also the .44 mag would be difficult to shoot single handed . I've gone pig hunting in the past and carried my .45 1911, I always felt under power. I understand that .357 mag is not the cure all when out hunting pig but its something better than my .45 and I can squeeze off six rounds single handed. I love my gun, then again I love all my guns.

      I threw in the lightest springs of this spring kit. The trigger feels really light and still has enough power to always ignite primers.

    question for you guys. so i have a glock 9mm and several rifles. however, i am going to be backpacking in the deep country in montana. i'm a college student that can't spend a poop ton for a gun either. is a .357 sufficient enough to take down a bear in case it attacks me? i don't have the money to spend $800+ for a .44 mag. i was thinking a .357 which would run me about $600 or a little more. thoughts?

    • @TOBORE8THMAN
      @TOBORE8THMAN 8 лет назад

      If I may....When properly loaded, .357 Magnum is more than capable of protecting oneself in the backwoods. If you're venturing into wilderness where you may be exposed to large cats and black bears, use 180 or 200 grain hardcast bullets from a manufacturer that loads these rounds to proper velocity. Brown bear? 44 magnum for revolvers and 460 Rowland in pistol at the very least. My Ruger GP100 cost me $650 (with tax) from a local brick and mortar gun shop.

    • @Highjak86
      @Highjak86  8 лет назад

      357 mag is generally considered the entry level backpack gun to defend against black bear and the like. To answer your question you'd need to look at the territory you'd be located in. For what it's worth, there is at least one documented case of a 40 S&W semi-auto taking down a black bear in defense. To be honest, I think the caliber war when it comes to defense against bears and the like is a bit over exaggerated. If a bear is intent on attacking you for whatever reason then it is going to do so and in that case headshots are really the only thing that is going to take out the target. As long as what you're carrying can penetrate the skull you're gold. I don't blame anyone for wanting to carry big bore 44mag + wheel guns, but I also wouldn't blame someone for wanting more rounds with a semi-auto or possibly the best of both worlds a 10mm Glock.

    • @TheKauaiboyz51
      @TheKauaiboyz51 8 лет назад

      +TOBORE8THMAN thanks for the reply man. so u wouldn't suggest getting a Glock 10mm? I'm between that and a .357. I looked up reviews and others have said the Glock 10 is the way to go because it is a hot round as well but also has a 15 round mag as opposed to 6. the recoil isn't bad as well so I'm still in between.

    • @TheKauaiboyz51
      @TheKauaiboyz51 8 лет назад

      +Highjak86 thanks for replying man. yea I'm indecisive. I'm kind of leaning towards purchasing the Glock 10mm. I read many reviews and said it is a good backpacking gun as it is a hot round.

    • @TOBORE8THMAN
      @TOBORE8THMAN 8 лет назад

      10mm is equivalent to .357 Magnum in equally weighted bullets. The problem with 10mm is the majority of ammo is little more than 40 S&W. You'll need to select "boutique" ammo from the likes of Underwood and Buffalo Bore to achieve equal performance of hardcast .357 Magnum. Also, with 10mm, you're stuck with glock unless you want to spend $$$ for a rare offering of another manufacturer. .357 Magnum offers a firearm choice that is unparalleled in terms of options and cost. Good .357 Magnum ammo is EVERYWHERE off the shelf with wide variety and options. 10mm...not so much.
      And on capacity? The whole point in carrying either of these calibers is that you don't need a high capacity firearm to defend yourself against forest "critters". You can dispatch a threat with 1 or 2 rounds. But...I'm sure that a cougar/bobcat or black bear will oblige you to wait patiently while you empty all 16 rounds of a glock.... I don't mean to sound flippant on the matter of capacity but unfortunately, some people place too much emphasis on it as it relates to high performance calibers like .357 Magnum or even 10mm. Use what ever caliber you like and make you comfortable. You can't go wrong with either choice.

      You'd be 15 now and I'm sure you can. Remember the beauty of this gun is how versatile it is. If you start off with .38 Spl. the 42 ounces of steel soak up all the recoil and it's literally like shooting a .22. Once you're comfortable with that move up to .38 +P, then .38 +P+ if you can find it. After that .357 Mag. is no longer a big step up.

      @@elrancherochido9 Yes, the 4" stainless. I generally prefer semi-autos and this is the only revolver I own. If I was in bear country I would take this along with full power loads. I can't say enough good things about it. Super accurate when I take my time and fire single action. Trigger is silky smooth and as I mentioned above the considerable weight soaks up any recoil. Built like a bank vault door, it'll last generations.

    Nice gun , to bad that some stupid ppl misuse its abilities by doing drive bys and robbing 7-11s , and some ppl use it for protection and others use it for 187's. Unfortunately

    Is it just me? Why the hell do they pull on the hammer fore they fire off a round. My grandfather always had fire off slowly to maintain control of the gun so I wouldn't jerk back the gun too much when firing so I could hit my target and where I was aiming consistently!

    • @Highjak86
      @Highjak86  8 лет назад

      Single action is FAR more precise and requires less input from the shooter and should always be used when possible over double action. Double action is simply for quick follow-up shots. If you're jerking in single action, which you shouldn't be, that's just your inexperience and your teacher in this case is using DA just to teach a lesson.

      ***** We're speaking on precision only. You can choose to train on a revolver however you like - that's all opinion. You can't argue the original point 'Single action is FAR more precise and requires less input from the shooter'. End of story. Stop carrying revolvers as a carry gun would be my first suggestion unless you're handicapped.

      LineRat 86 It's not ignorance. It's simply your lack of understanding about what is being said. You're confused and making a lot of bad assumptions hence coming to your poor conclusion. Given your shitty attitude and diarrhea comments you have the result you see here. Thankfully no one will have to deal with anymore.

      +Highjak86 no no no, get some time in with double action only. every bit as accurate and fast, then you will find a reliable tool for defense situations.
