RangerMcFadden Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 https://ruger.com/products/superGP100/specSheets/5066.html I haven’t seen many 38/357 Super GP100s but maybe we’ll see more now that they’re chambered in 9mm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyScuba Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Looks like they used the same frame as the 38/35. Really odd looking with the super long forcing cone/short 9x19 cylinder. At least they see a market large enough to bring this to fruition. i did hear that the 9mm will be a more competitive gun to shoot. Something about less mass in the cylinder.... I probably wouldn’t notice unless I’ve put 1-2m rounds down range like a few here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVC Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 What holsters work for Rugers? I haven't seen inserts for DAA Race Master, so it's either not supported, or it's compatible with S&W trigger guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perttime Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 The short cylinder does look a little strange. Saves weight, though. The regular GP100 is a good fit in the L Frame leather holsters that I have. I'm pretty sure this will fit many N Frame holsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk I just finished my GP100 and while it is 1 lb heavier it feels as good (6 1/2 vs 5 1/2 lbs), if not better than my S&W's. Haven't shot it enough yet to verify it's reliability, but lit off a couple of cylinder fulls. Edited December 28, 2019 by pskys2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan454 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 The Rugers will generally fit in a DAA block for an N frame. I use that insert with GPs and Redhawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cas Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Do you think you could easily/quickly operate the cylinder latch with a shooting grip? (for a weak hand reload). I've never tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(for a weak hand reload). I've never tried. Hope I understood the question.... I'm sure you need to take the hand off of the grip anyway, with any revolver, for a lefty reload. Otherwise the hand is in the way of the new load - and even ejection. Trying with my regular GP100, you can easily reach the latch with a left index finger knuckle: that gives better leverage than fingertip. The right hand will be there pushing the cylinder open and holding it for the reload. ------------------------------- edit: If you mean holding the revolver in the right hand, the thumb will come back from the grip and press the latch in - instead of coming back from the grip and pushing the latch forward, like on a S&W. The thumb needs to stay out of the way of ejection and the new load. I recall there have been extended cylinder release buttons for Rugers. I don't remember who made them.

That's my point/question. You'd kind of be pressing it in with the side of your thumb and I'm wondering if that's doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pskys2 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) I have a GP100, not the Redhawk though, and yes it is such that pushing ones thumb forward will trigger the latch. The latch actually has a pivot point at the front and a good sized bump for the latch, so pushing in or forward works. It is much easier than I thought it would be. The only problem is it's small and not extended. So my thumb won't reach without shifting my grip. There is an extended aftermarket unit made, just don't know by who.

Alaskan454 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I've settled on using my support thumb to trigger the latch and pop the cylinder open with my strong hand pointer finger. I can assure you that it's worth trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

357454 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Heard from a reliable source the New Super GP100 in 9mm has a few issues, first are tight chambers that require reaming or polishing for reliable loading and unloading, second appears to be tight headspacing that results in cases rubbing on the framer, one frame reportedly needed to be filed to square it up. Can anyonethat is an A shooter or better offer an unbiased review of the new Ruger? I have several friends that want one but need more input before buying one.

lrjet Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 357454: Within couple of months I received my new 929 back from David Olhasso with his competition package and then bought a new Ruger Super GP1009mm. I have been shooting for quite awhile not rated but used to be a Tool and Die Maker. The chambers are tighter on the GP believe they are true 9mm chambers compared to the 929 depth from ejector GP .670/929 .710 At chamber throat step GP.381/929.385 throat on GP .3585 the barrel on the GP, my 38 357 range rod will pass down the barrel the throats and barrel line up nice using the rod. That’s fine with me since I can shoot .358 bullets on both. I have not had a headspace problem on the GP. As far as loads go if you use .355 to .356 bullets your fine but I am shooting .358 poly and .357 jhp in the GP. Loads pretty good with .357jhp but .358 poly bullets I have to use 105/115/125 grain loaded kinda short with good crimp and have no problem smooth loading with TK moons both revos use the same. I cannot load my 160 grain poly bullets that fit the 929 since tighter chambers, I will probably have the chambers cut a bit looser down the road. On the GP added bigbutt grip bobbed hammer and did a trigger job myself on digital Lyman got 5lb8oz 8 pull average. I polished and shimmed the trigger components. Used other springs that I ground down a bit with my lathe and mandrel. I can light off seated federals but not winchester. The pull is around .100 longer than the 929 measured bottom tip of trigger. The GP Trigger is very smooth feels light but bit longer. The trigger that Dave did on the 929 just makes me smile its fantastic his competition job is wonderful. I really like the GP I think it is a great value, course at this time it doesn’t have numerous after market performance parts as the 929 but with just a few cheap additions that I did myself I am enjoying it.
