That "38" should read 44.

The gun in the ad has 38 special on the barrel but I am not seeing Ruger offering any GP100 in 38 special in their list of GP100 revolvers. The model listed 01751 doesn't even come up on Ruger site.

I'm pretty sure it holds six

I'm pretty sure it holds six

That's the least illogical explanation for its existence, though the over-strength, overweight factor is still there.

:dunno:

couldn't stand it any more & called them, if nothing more than to tell them to change the add. the man I talked to said it was correct as posted. he told me it was a close out & that it was in fact a 5 shot 38 special. If I had the gun money I would have ordered 1. CDNN customer service #800.588.9500

Well kiss my dog..................LOL

That oddball revolver would last 2 lifetimes. If it had a 6" barrel I might splurge.

 

[SavageGuy]

Weird.......Who'd a thunk it. A five shot .38 spl gp100............

 

[nickndfl]

Also makes a great club.

 

[buster40c]

Well I have to say the recoil must be very easy to handle shooting 38 spl.

I once had a Smith & Wesson .38 special with an 8 1/2" barrel. At the time I gave $150.00 for it and never took the time to do any investigation to see how many were made. Even today I still don't know. I sold it to a buddy of mine who bugged the crap out of me so he could shoot it in league shooting. To this day I wish I still had it even if it's not worth much, but just because it's a novelty.

The gun in the photo is a six shot. Their description of it even says it is a six shot.

From what I understand GP100 .38 Special only revolvers are out there. LGS and distributors get them due to cancelled special order PD and security orders. Some PD's and security companies especially overseas only allow .38 Special revolvers.
