Ruger GP100 .22 LR

[Darrell]

Ruger has announced a .22 lr version of the GP100 revolver. Ten shots. MSRP $829.00. Interesting notion, though I'd hope the street price would come down quite a bit.

I bought a Ruger Single Ten .22 lr a few years ago, after looking at what else is on the market. The S&W 617 was very nice, but MSRP was a thousand bucks or more.

I have a S&W 617 with a 6 inch barrel that I bought for $400 brand new from a NYC gun shop. Granted over 20 years ago. Six shot version, before they went to ten. No lawyer lock. Shoots.like its got eyes of its own.

Are they seriously getting over a grand now????

Good grief. I bought a K-22 used, cost me $450. $1K is way too much.

When I bought my 617 and 686 a few years ago, they cost roughly the same. Somewhere in the 6-700 range iirc. MSRP always less than street price, but guns always cost more in Jersey.

Sell it with a swap-able 22 Magnum cylinder and you've got my undivided attention.

That, an actual street retail of $599, and a weight lower than the Redhawk Alaskan.

All the fun and Rugery goodness of the Mk III, twice the calibers, and no extra mags to buy: winner.

I have a couple of S&W .22 revolvers, four and a six-inch models. Each was second-hand, but as-new condition, and neither cost more than EUR 250 (say US$300). It pays to search around.

I do like the ruggedness and reliability of the Ruger designs, though.

Got a ruger single six for 250 bucks

They cost about the same to make, hence the near identical price.

I have the same pair, and also cost roughly the same. Purchased in the same gun shop on Staten Island
