Ruger GP 100 for BE?
Does anyone shoot a GP 100 for matches? I have a 14, I don’t NEED another gun. Thought I’d ask...

You could they are accurate but need trigger work.

I see them on the line at ISSF center fire matches. They don't do better or worse than the Smith. The couple I tried had a tiny little step in their trigger, even single action. It is otherwise a fine trigger, better than any stock auto.

I have a 1704 which is the blued 4140 steel 6" GP100 revolver. I put in a Wolff trigger return spring, shimmed up the internals (using triggershims.com) and the trigger is better than my stock S&W 586. I figure its good to use as a hammer, crow bar/pry tool, chock, digging tool, etc. as well as fire 38/357 magnum cartridges. Not that I'm the survivalist type, but those are my observations. It's a sturdy revolver. I haven't actually shot it.
Not to start a contentious discussion - because I won't be a part of that - but my experiences and opinion of Ruger firearms is rather low regarding quality control. There are rumors Ruger wants to become a competitive firearms manufacture. If so, they need some major restructuring and refocus to get there IMO. The GP100 is a reasonably good design, just not so well manufactured - which isn't to say one can't get 'lucky'. The one I picked up at a gun show is OK, but careful inspection is very prudent before purchase. YMMV, etc.
