Ruger GP-100 .357 Magnum, $474
From the 01-01-1999 Issue of Gun TestsClassification:Handguns
Category:Revolvers
Model Name:GP-100
Manufacturer:Ruger
Model Number:.357 Magnum
FULL GUN REPORT
The Ruger GP100s grips were black rubber without grooves, but the sides had decorative inserts of brown wood-like material (which some actually found attractive) that give the gun a distinctive look. The grips felt just great in both aimed single-action fire and in rapid-fire double action. Recoil was spread over a large area of the hand and that made for good shooting comfort, even with the heaviest loads. The controls all functioned well and positively, and we found this to be a pleasant gun to handle and shoot. The trigger was well curved and smooth, and the double-action cycling was just slightly heavier than that of the Smith & Wesson. Trigger movement was even and smooth enough to permit good accuracy when shooting it slowly in the double-action mode.

FULL GUN REPORT
The all-steel Ruger flat top 50th Year Blackhawk had remarkably clean lines and comfortable Colt-size grips. The Micro sight didn't need to be touched. The Ruger laid 'em in there a touch better than two others, and looked great doing it. The front of the cylinder was beveled to ease holstering.

Every December Gun Tests Magazine picks the best from a full years worth of tests and distills summary recommendations for readers, who often use them as year-end shopping guides. These best of choices are a mixture of the Gun Tests original evaluation and other information the staff compiles during the year. Additionally, the magazine selects the best type of firearm--pistol, revolver, shotgun, and rifle--for its Best in Class award. The Best in Class Revolver for 2009 was the Taurus Judge No. 4510TKR-3BUL 3-Inch 45 LC/410-Bore, $620. It was originally reviewed in the August 2009 issue.
