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.

- 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.
For our dedicated fans, I have already contacted Ruger about the new
gun, and I’m going to be getting a couple in for long term testing in
2014. 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.
