Default Gun shop find

I picked up this Ruger gp100 match champion 4.2” 10mm in excellent condition appears unfired one owner. Hope it shoots just as good as the 610 6.5”

It's a beauty! May I ask how much did you paid for it?

Helluva deal! I’ve not seen a decent used Match Champion 10mm for under $900.

Do yourself a favor OP. If you plan on shooting .40, get some TKC moon clips. The Rugers are fine for 10mm, but are unreliable with .40.

Great deal on that. I got mine new for $650 years ago, it’s become one of my favorite guns, and probably my favorite revolver. And I have a lot of Smiths/Colts.

Nice find and good price. I’ll be surprised if it shoots as well as your 610 - but I’ve been surprised before.

I had a Ruger GP100 chambered in 357 magnum with a 4.2 inch barrel that I bought used about 10 years ago for $500. It was probably one of the most accurate handguns I've ever owned.
I sold it to a friend. I tried to buy it back after I realized the mistake I had made. Well, he's my friend, but that didn't mean he would sell it back to me. He really liked the Ruger too. I've been keeping my eyes open for another one.
The lesson here is "Never sell a gun that you really like" to anyone, even a friend
