    Ruger GP-100 Match Champion

    I came across a Match Champion at the gun show today.
    I was initially looking at the GP 100 standard, but the MC looked real nice.
    Does anybody know anything about this gun?
    It seemed reasonably priced around $600.

    $600 is a good price. They are nice guns. Love the Novak rear. Not a fan of the fiber optic front. I have a pair of the blued 3" versions with gold bead fronts.

    Does the MC come in 3 inch, or are yours GP 100 standard?

    They are the 2nd version of the Talo exclusive Wiley Clapp editions.

    I have shot many bullets through a Match Champion. They're awesome. For 600 bucks buy it now.

    The Match Champion is the best revolver in its price range, hands down. Its a value at $600. Good sights, factory slicked action, good looking gun, and comfortable to shoot. I wasn't sold on the grip from looking at it, but shooting it made me a believer.

    There are only two versions, both are 4.25" barrels. The only difference is the original is fixed rear sight, the new version is adjustable sight. I was the first kid on my block to buy one when they first came out.

    I also have a Wiley Clapp 3", and they are similar but not exactly the same. Its tough to pick a favorite. They are both excellent revolvers. I find myself shooting the MC more at the range, though.

    I actually sold my Wiley Clapp GP100, it didn't really offer any advantages in concealability over a 4 inch gun, and I prefer the FO from on the MC. I do wish I had one of the adjustable sighted Match Champions though, because those are just great.

    I am delighted with mine. The adjustable sight version was announced after I got it but the fixed sights are well regulated.
    After several months of shooting and dry practice, the double action pull averages 8 pounds 13 ounces.
    It is very comfortable to shoot with magnum ammunition, even 158s.
    Go for it.

    Word is that Novak's is working on a replacement sight that is adjudtable.
