Ruger GP100 357 Magnum
The Ruger GP100 was designed as a more robust alternative to the S&W L-frame and K-frame revolvers, specifically engineered to withstand sustained .357 Magnum use without the forcing cone issues that plagued Smith & Wesson K-frames. With a full-length barrel lug, triple-locking cylinder, and Ruger's simplified lockwork, the GP100 trades the refinement of the S&W 686 for absolute durability. It has been adopted by numerous law enforcement agencies and remains in production.
