That was the best plug for a hand drawn t-shirt I ever heard 😅. Great revolver review by the way. Try not to understand the goldilocks story if you work for a living, it was meant to teach socialists tree huggers how to rob and loot without consequences. Goldie should have just grabbed the loot and left. Always dry fire your ruger to make sure the firing pin is not hitting the cylinder and to practice. Maybe you could do a video on refinishing your review table top? Cudos on the worst looking table top on a table top review? Be easy on your upstairs neighbors, they are prolly making babies.

I never thought I would hear the word "anthropomorphic" in a firearms video. I salute you.

PTM, This is right up your alley. Every time I shoot this gun, I think of how much you’d enjoy it.

I bought a 6" GP100 (.357 Magnum) in 1987. In 36 years I've put over 65,000 rounds through the gun. I did a homemade trigger job on it around 1995. It is my favorite gun, the one I go to if there is cash on the table. When Ruger rolled out the 22 LR version I immediately bought one. It was reasonably accurate, but not as accurate as my .357. The trigger is gritty and heavy. It's been in the gun safe for a few years, but I pulled it out today. I'm re-cutting the muzzle crown, polishing all the trigger surfaces, and lightening the trigger and hammer springs slightly. And replacing those horrible grips. Or at least removing the poorly fit rosewood inserts and pouring epoxy. Anything will be better than the factory atrocity. This thing will never be a S&W 617, but I think I can make it a reasonably serviceable plinker/small game gun.

Tyler Gun Works took my Ruger GP100 22 LR and did an accuracy job and action job. Carry beveled and chamfered the front of the cylinder. And they hand engraved it tastefully. Put a Hogue recoil absorbing grip on it and Bowen Classic Arms makes a stainless steel lanyard ring with a screw base that replaces the screw that holds the Hogue grip on. Leather boot lace braided to create a short lanyard. Love it!!!

Great Video GP, I always appreciate your attention to detail!

Thank you for this great presentation. What is your opinion of the Beretta 21A?

I did not know they made speed loaders for 10 shot 22s. Ok, now i have to get one of these

Love my GP100 10 round revolver in 22 S,L and LR. Use a Hogue rubber recoil absorbing sorbethane padded rubber grip on it. Overkill I know but matches the grip on all my other big bore revolvers.

This gun is a winner, for sure! And I’m a proponent of using whatever grips you like! There’s no doubt that the ones you have are crazy comfortable.

You have another subscriber! Good review. I’m wanting one of these also. What did you pay for it? Are they pretty easy to come across at pawn shops and Gun shops and such?

Did you try the lcrx 3” in .22lr ? I’m between the mark iv 22/45 or the lcrx 3” in .22.

Great video. I also had to send my GP100 22lr back to Ruger. I also had to send my LCR back twice.

Tesla Automotive Uses Next Generation MIM Technology to make the Frame (on some models). It's called the "Giga press". it shoots molten alloy at high speed into a molding. It's the first Vehicles to have a 1-piece Frame Design. (which makes it exceptionally strong and is very different from tac welding 100 Pieces together to build a frame.) Giga Press technology is INSANE! you should look into how advanced MIM technology has become.

TGP, Altamont makes some amazing GP grips, with that said, I ran the rubber/wood grip on my GP. Also, Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish can do wonders on the internals and really smooth out the trigger pull. Honestly if you got time to kill, give a try.

@thegunpenguin

Altamonts are awesome! I’ve done my share of trigger polishing, but only when I’m completely done testing. I don’t usually notice a massive difference, but it’s definitely an improvement!

What kind of fuzz pedal do you use in the intro?

Tyler Gun Works is engraving mine. Action job and fixed trigger over travel stop and attempting to do accuracy tactics with it. Carry melting and chamfering of front of the cylinder. Investing is easy in a gun I absolutely adore.

hello, your 8th viewer speaking here. good review!

The Smith and Wesson Model 63 is the perfect 22 LR with a 3" barrel at 25.8 ounces. Easy for EDC and and a lot of fun developing shooting skill at the range.

Makes me miss the S&W 34 .22 revolver I shot growing up and why I'll always have a spot in my heart for a revolver. Now you should get a Ruger Blackhawk Convertible(the 357/9mm version) to get the full Fudd Ruger revolver experience though I'd also like to see a Colt "Python" review since out of most guntubers I know you'll put a high round count through it.

You are right about ruger quality control. I think they hire a sherpa with altitude sickness to final inspect their guns. I have sent more ruger stuff back than any other brand but they often return it still broke with a note that says in peewee Herman's, "I meant to do that" I bought a new 22lr target pistol recently that had a horrible dent on the muzzle crown that i didn't notice the sherpa must have dropped over a cliff. That gun is so inaccurate that you can shoot around corners with it. Target gun? Yeah 😂. But it is a great gun to take to the range and let people who think they are a great shot try to hit the 10 ft diameter at 25 yds target I set up for them. I love walking down to the target with them only to find a holeless target. Lol😅 Lord knows where the boolits went.

Sent mine to Tyler Gun Works to be engraved and accuracy attending and carry melting. Also action job with a fixed trigger over travel stop .

Once I got passed the first minute of annoying music the video and content were good.

Did I miss the list of exact problems you had with your GP100 .22? I own "a few" Ruger firearms, and am generally very happy with them. However...when I was researching the GP100 to replace a worn-out .22 DA revolver, the number of reported issues pushed me away from the GP100: Cylinder timing, rubbing hammer, heavy SA trigger pull, etc. An unrelated thought: Reduce the length of your intro, not everyone shares your taste in music.

@@0sm1um76 Yup. I grew up in CT and luckily got a solid Southport mfg mini 14. Held its value very well and had the original bead sight increasing the value. lcp in 380 back for repairs and another friend needed to send his Ruger Max 9 back for repairs. The repairs were solid and the resale value was decent enough where I can't really be mad at Ruger as a company in my experience. Although I do think Glock has spoiled us in terms of reliability.

Balance is more important than weight really.

As a German guy I can confirm that most of us are here in Germany. Can't speak to that other stuff though. Despite our reputation, we aren't *all* into that kind of stuff (no kink shaming though) XD

Ruger is a Great Company and I love their Revolvers But a 22LR GP100 is Not for Me! I can name many reasons but I will not and I must say that I love the 22LR & 22 magnum guns. Having said this, I have Two Kel-Tec P17's in 22LR with 3 16 round magazines, CP33 with 2 33 magazines and one 50 round magazine. I also have a PMR 30 with 3 30 round magazines. Shooting at my LGR every week here in Sunny Florida has become much more Fun and I save a bunch of money on ammo! So, IMO a large all steel revolver that shoots 10 rounds of 22LR is not very practical under any conditions! In closing, I would also like to say that all my Kel-Tec guns have worked Flawless right out of the box and only minor issues with Dud Rounds! Good Luck and Thanks for this Video!

Own 10 ruger revolves I have never had to send one back None of them can be shoot to pieces my kids great grandchildren will still have a fine gun

NEVER EVER had any issues with my Rugers

I dunno, Penguin, I like the Horse in the background a bit more. But for a practical comment, do you think the FNX-45 is a good pistol or a turd sandwhich? I have an irrational desire to shoot as many bullets as a Glock 19, but twice the size!
