Ruger GP100 Match Champion

Ruger will have a new model GP100 available in 2014, the Ruger GP100 Match Champion. This is the GP100 for competition shooting, and to be 100% honest it looks like Ruger went into my dreams while I was asleep and pulled all the features I want in a GP100 to make this gun.

The new Ruger GP100 Match Champion comes from the factory with the following features:
  • Black Novak rear sight
  • Fiber optic front sight
  • Checkered Hogue wood grips
  • Beveled cylinder
  • Half-underlug slab side barrel
  • Delicious tears of S&W fanboys
Just from looking at the gun, if it came with a bobbed hammer and chamfered charge holes (editor’s note: it does come with chamfered charge holes), it would be perfect. As it is, it appears to be one of the best set-up out of the box competition revolvers since S&W started offering the 686SSR. I’m very glad to see Ruger going hard in the paint after the serious revolver shooter market with guns like this and GP100 WC model I have.

Plans are to run the same gun at all IDPA matches, NRA AP matches, and USPSA revolver. I have to give a hat tip the readers who’ve emailed, FB messaged, and otherwise communicated to me about this gun. I can’t wait to spend some time shooting this gun. We’ll get you more updates on the Ruger GP100 Match Champion when it comes in.
