The Ruger GP100 Match Champion in 10mm offers a robust revolver option for 10mm enthusiasts, providing a match-grade trigger and solid accuracy despite its significant recoil. While it excels in precision shooting, its capacity is limited compared to semi-automatics like the Ruger SR1911, which generally achieves higher velocities due to its longer barrel and lack of cylinder gap.

Quick Summary

The Ruger GP100 Match Champion in 10mm has an MSRP of approximately $969. It utilizes moon clips for reliable extraction of rimless cartridges. While offering match-grade features and good accuracy, it produces significant recoil with hot loads and has a lower capacity than semi-automatics like the Ruger SR1911.
