RUGER GP100 22LR REV 5.5″ STS RBR WOOD GRP FO ADJ SGHT

Ruger's GP100 in .22 LR with a 5.5-inch barrel and satin stainless finish occupies a specific, useful niche: a full-size double-action revolver built for high-volume rimfire shooting. Buyers are typically experienced handgunners adding a dedicated trainer, or newer shooters who want a serious platform without centerfire recoil. TacticCAL carries it as a DOJ Roster listed handgun.

Full-Size Revolver Frame, Rimfire Discipline — Who Reaches for This Configuration

The GP100 frame is full-size, and that's the point. Buyers who want a rimfire revolver for extended range sessions, dry-fire practice, or teaching fundamentals to a new shooter prefer the weight and grip geometry of a duty-scale platform over a scaled-down .22. The wood grip, fiber optic front sight, and adjustable rear make it straightforward to dial in for different shooters or lighting conditions. The transfer bar safety and double-action-only operation mean the manual of arms stays consistent with larger-caliber revolvers in the same frame family. Optic-ready configuration gives this gun a longer useful life as your skill set develops. Roster listed, so the purchase process at TacticCAL is standard DROS.

Frequently asked questions

How does the GP100 .22 LR compare to a dedicated .22 pistol for new shooter training?

The revolver format eliminates limp-wrist malfunctions and simplifies the manual of arms. The full-size frame and adjustable rear sight give an instructor consistent reference points. For teaching trigger control and sight alignment, the longer double-action pull is a genuine training asset.

The GP100 is optic-ready — what mounts or optics work well on it?

Holosun and Burris both make compact red dots compatible with revolver mounting systems. Confirm the specific mount footprint before purchasing. TacticCAL's optics section is worth checking once you have the gun in hand and can verify the mounting surface directly.

While I'm waiting out the 10 days after my DROS, what's worth sourcing for this revolver?

Line up .22 LR ammunition for your first session, a CA-compliant locked transport container, and a lockbox for home storage if applicable. If you plan to mount an optic, research compatible mounts now. Scheduling range time and finding a local instructor are also good uses of the wait period.
