What are the common problems with the Ruger GP100?
Reported issues include the hammer pivot assembly backing out during firing or dry firing, occasional difficulty seating certain ammunition brands in the cylinder, and rare cylinder rotation failures. Most users report reliable performance; complaints are isolated rather than representing widespread defects.
How much is a Ruger GP100 worth today?

What ammo is best for GP100 357?
Your GP100 fires .357 Magnum, .38 S&W Special, .38 Special +P, and .38 Special +P+. Use .38 Special for practice due to lower recoil and cost. Choose .357 Magnum for self-defense or hunting. All four cartridge types chamber correctly in the GP100.
Can you dry fire the Ruger GP100?
Yes, the Ruger GP100 manual explicitly permits dry firing. Its robust construction handles repeated dry firing without damage. Many owners dry fire extensively for practice and trigger smoothing. Snap caps are optional but may reduce wear on the firing pin over time.
