First time buying from buds, will again in the future. The pistol shoots great! However there were a couple issues with my revolver. The first thing I noticed was the grip was a little loose from the frame. No biggie except for the screw look had some chipping, again no biggie. The second thing I didn't notice until I took out my revolver to the range and was shooting left by about 7 inches at 7 yards away. Inspected the sights and the rear sight was way off center. Once again no biggie. That's why I give it 4 instead of 5.

ordered the pistol for my wife. She’s developed an affection for revolvers. The GP 100 was the perfect choice. I have an affection for Ruger so the choice was an easy one. It has a six inch barrel to help with the recoil. The single action leaves a light trigger for shooting consistent pattern. The double action is a little heavy but there is a noticeable sweet spot almost at the end of the hammer sweep to pause verify and squeeze. Very smooth action. She’s shooting tight patterns right out of the box. Excellent purchase and thanks to Buds for getting the pistol to my FFL very quickly. Three days. Couldn’t ask for a better buying experience!

Just because it’s not a smith doesn’t mean it isn’t worthy. Very well built, robust 357! Accurate and low recoil due to the weight. Run out of rounds, use it as a club

My first revolver and I love it so far. It feels good in my hand. Recoil is not too bad when using 357 mag. Gun as a good weight and feels well made.

I really like this revolver. It's big enough and heavy enough to give you manageable recoil, even with .357 Magnum ammo. I've shot about 400 rounds with it, using .38 Special, +P, and .357 Magnum. Even with that last, muzzle-flip was minimal. The gun’s weight and large rubber grip make it easier to deliver fast follow-ups.

I grew up believing that Smith and Wessons are better built than Rugers. In the 70s, that might have been true. This weapon, however, is the equal in quality to any Smith I have ever handled. The trigger is smooth- not Colt Python smooth, but close. Single action is a little heavier than the one on a Smith, but its double action pull is superior. I am going to scope it using a Wiegand picatinny mount. While shopping, I was afraid that this item was overpriced. I have not fired it yet, but now that I have handled it, I am surprised that they can afford to sell it this cheap. It's that good. Bud's is great to work with. 90 day layaway is better than financing because there is a small fee instead of 20% interest.

A great firearm to add to the collection! It feels good and shoots even better! My wife even loved shooting it! Only shot 38 special out of it so recoil was almost non-existent. It shipped very fast and I got it on sale! Very happy!

My purchase of the Ruger .357 magnum GP 100 was very smooth and easy. Revolver arrived in excellent condition. After picking up from my local FFL I went out to my local range and sent a variety of .357 magnum loads and a few .38 special rounds down range. Revolver preform as expected. Very happy with the addition to my handgun collection. Will recommend and order from Bud’s again. Thanks

The GP 100 is my dream gun. When i went shopping around for it i found Bud's had it for the best price. I was so satisfied with my transaction that i have done morders and look foward to many more, as I complete my gun wishlist.

My GP100 was shipped with a canted barrel as well as sharp edges near the muzzle I am going to have to send it to Ruger to make it right. It did however ship fast and was delivered to my FFL gun shop fast and easy that's the only reason I'm giving it a two.

My favorite 357 revolver, hands down. Built like a tank, handles everything I throw at it. Accurate, dependable. I put a rail on top with a burris fastfire III. Looks amazing and drills out the bullseye at 25yards. Not even that expensive. Makes 38 specials feel like 22's. I've shot heavy 357's for two hours straight at the range with this one and my hand didn't even hurt. Soaks up recoil like a champ.

My favorite revolver so far, this thing rocks!

After a little over month and precisely 720 rounds of .357 magnum only - 125gr and 158gr, running between 1150-1650fps - I can say it's among the nicest, most comfortable shooting revolvers I own. Or have shot, for that matter. Even the pristine 1950 S&W K-38 Combat Masterpiece (.38spl) 4 inch target model in my safe, complete with half-inch trigger shoe, for me doesn't shoot quite as nicely. Even with regular 158gr ball .38spl. as opposed to +P loads. The only change I made was a drop-in fiber optic up front. Wouldn't dream of touching the trigger. If any such comparison can be legitimately made, my wife's LCP with regular ball ammo has decidedly more felt recoil. Doing business with Bud's, of course, was easy and efficient at a very competitive price.

If you're looking for a solid revolver similar to a S&W, you can't go wrong with this one. It could use a trigger upgrade (it's fairly heavy) and sight upgrade (front sight is all black and is easy to lose in your sight picture). Bud's was super fast on the delivery.

This is a fantastic weapon! When I picked up my Ruger from Taylor Tackle (my favorite FFL here in Delaware) he told me "this revolver has one of the smoothest trigger pulls you can get" and he was dead on the money! This beast is built to last, feels solid in your hand and has very little cylinder play. Didn't have to adjust a thing out of the box. My only complaint is the front sight is black and sometimes easy to loose. But this is a simple fix. I ordered from Bud's on Thursday morning and was holding my GP 100 by Friday afternoon. That's a 36 hour turnaround! Unbelievable experience! I highly recommend the GP 100, Budsgunshop.com and Taylor Tackle to anyone who has doubts about ordering online.

This is a rock solid beast of a .357 magnum handgun offering by Ruger. It is well made and handles heavy loads nicely. The finish is more of a matte black than the typical "blued" that you are used to seeing. It is evenly applied and seems to be deep into the metal. I would definitely buy this gun again. Now, to rate the seller. Buds advertises shipping in 5-9 days. I ordered my gun on 01/13/2015 and it was delivered on 01/27/2015. That's two full weeks. The gun showed in stock when I placed the order. Buds showed the order in processing and didn't show the gun going into shipping until the evening of the 24th. The gun is great. Buds service ? SLOW. Just no reason for a group this large to be this slow.

I've had this weapon for nearly a year now. I absolutely love it. It is big, beefy, and handles full house 357s very well. I love it so much, I just purchased a S&W 686. I want to see what the other side of the debate feels like. I can't imagine something much better than the GP100, so we'll have to wait and see. This revolver is built like a tank and locks up nicely. If you are on the fence, buy it. If you are just glancing, buy it you won't be disappointed.

Super GUN, buy it. Worth it every damn penny...

I was wanting to buy the S&W 686 Pro but I hated spending that much and then I saw the reviews for this and opted for it and after 200 rounds this morning I am very satisfied I did and saved $300 plus over the S&W. This gun is very accurate and looks great. I will be buying other Rugers after this. This was also my first order through Bud's and I am completely happy with the price and delivery.

Second purchase from Buds. I love this gun. No problems what so ever. Excellent firearm.

This is my 3rd purchase from Buds in the last 3 or 4 years. I ordered on 7-16-11, dealer received on 7-22-11, I received 7-23-11 so not too bad. So far I'm always happy with Buds. I'm becoming a big fan of Ruger firearms. I wanted an affordable, USA built, heavy framed, accurate .357 mag. I only shot about 50 rounds when I picked it up but so far I am extremely happy with the 6 inch GP-100. 5 stars

Hesitant to buy offline, but Bud's made me a believer. Ordered late on a Friday night, and received by dealer on Tuesday morning so essentially 2 day shipping. Gun was in great shape, couldn't find any faults. Was a little worried that the 6 inch barrel would be a little front heavy but my fears were unfounded it turns out. Shot great with .38 special. Very low recoil with great accuracy at about 25-30 yards. Only put 1 box through it so far. Just got some 357 mag ammo, and just waiting for this dumb Ohio weather to stop raining so I can take it out in the field again. Great looking gun, very pleased with it and Buds.
