As events conspired to keep me from the SHOT Show, I am relying on my friend Rob Reed&#8217;s post about it at AllOutdoor.com.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.alloutdoor.com\/2017\/01\/17\/the-roger-gp-100-44-special-revolver-at-the-2017-shot-show-industry-day-at-the-range\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">His impression:<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>I was able to put a few rounds through the gun and my initial impressions were favorable. The trigger was good in double-action and very good in single-action and the rubber grips absorbed the recoil of the standard pressure .44 Special rounds very well. Since it is based on the tank-like GP 100 I\u2019m sure it will handle the hotter .44 Special loads that approach Magnum territory as well.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He also included this video of the Ruger representative going over the specs of the revolver.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/INEavByQzUE\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>You can read more about the specifications of this new revolver at Ruger&#8217;s website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ruger.com\/products\/gp100\/specSheets\/1761.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you subscribe to Guns Magazine, Massad Ayoob has a very complimentary review of this new revolver in this month&#8217;s issue (March 2017).<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the firearms that I had hoped to shoot at Industry Day at the Range was the new&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1655,1692,1693,680],"class_list":["post-812","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-44-special","tag-gp-100-revolver","tag-rob-reed","tag-ruger"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=812"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/812\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10945,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/812\/revisions\/10945"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
