GP100 Match Champion?

[AverageMidwest]

Has anyone seen or shot Ruger's GP100 Match Champion? It looks like a Talo or Lipsey's variant, but is factory produced.

I haven't seen one in person yet, but its on my short list for 2014. There's some online sources that have it, but I'm still waiting to see if a local shop can procure one before I send my money out of state.

I will have one!

I'm just waiting for our shop to get one...it will be mine.

i saw these from the Shot Show review. I am curious of any owner feedback. if you end up with one, please post back with a review. this is on my list of pistols to buy in the future and add to my ruger collection.

Have these been released into the wild yet or is there a release date for local gun shops ?

Saw one at Indiana Gun Club a few weeks ago. Was pretty nice. I think I will stay with the normal GP100 or a Wiley Clapp one.

I wanted so bad to see a Wiley Clapp in 4" trim. This is IMHO a step above and beyond. I can't wait to see one in person. Definitely my next wheel gun.

This is, imo, the best .357 concept to come along in a LOOONG time. Between that lovely grip and the fantastic sights, you can't lose.

I got one an have had it to the range a couple times now. This is sweet, feels like a performance center Smith production gun.... The lockup is nice and tight, trigger is really nice too. No creep and no need for a spring kit or any smoothing on this one. The grips looked a bit strange but when firing her the grips help to keep recoil under control and help with keeping your hand in line with the bore for better point ability. Fit and finish are top of the line, there's nothing that I would change on this one, a real keeper in my book. It shot to point of aim out of the box too with 158 grain 38 spcl's and grouped really well...

I don't think you can go wrong with this one...

 

[Hazwhopper]

I hope so. I really like the GP100 and with the new changes it should be a great deal. I am looking for one.

 

[gunbunnies]

They had two at Blythes in Griffith, Indiana last thursday when I was in there.

 

[AverageMidwest]

Okay, I'm convinced. The one gripe I've always heard about the GP100 is the trigger feel and it sounds like they fixed that via what amounts to a factory trigger job. Officially added to the "I want" list.

 

[throttletony]

Yes, these are out "in the wild" now, but just hard to locate after the first few were bought up. I am getting this gun soon and I'll let you know. I will likely still change the springs ($10), but I'm sure everything else will be good to go. I've only found one mediocre review online, the rest are all quite positive which is enouraging

Brought home and fired Our MATCH CHAMPION this past weekend. Sent thru it, 36 rounds of .38 and 30 of .357, which was more rounds of my total experience with handguns. The range officers were impressed with the shoot ability and appearance of our "Secret."
