The Ruger GP100 Model 1783 is a TALO Distributor Exclusive .357 Magnum double-action revolver featuring a 4.20-inch barrel, six-round cylinder, blued alloy-steel construction, checkered hardwood grips, ramp front sight, and adjustable rear sight. Ruger identifies this exact configuration as Model 1783 / UPC 736676017836 and currently lists it with Limited Availability.
The revolver is chambered in .357 Magnum and has a six-round capacity. Its 4.20-inch barrel uses five grooves with a 1:18.75" right-hand twist, while the alloy-steel construction receives a traditional blued finish.
A major visual distinction of this TALO-exclusive GP100 is its checkered hardwood grips. The traditional wood furniture complements the blued finish and gives Model 1783 a more classic appearance than GP100 configurations fitted with rubber or synthetic grips.
The sighting system consists of a ramp front sight and adjustable rear sight, providing windage/elevation adjustment at the rear while retaining the traditional revolver sight profile.
Like other standard GP100 models, the 1783 uses Ruger's triple-locking cylinder system, which locks the cylinder into the frame at the front, rear and bottom. Ruger also uses a transfer-bar safety mechanism and a grip-frame design that accommodates a variety of replacement grips. Integrated subassemblies can be disassembled without special tools for maintenance.
Model 1783 weighs 40 ounces and measures 9.50 inches overall. Ruger lists this TALO-exclusive configuration as not available in California or Massachusetts.
