Ruger Introduces GP100 Match Champion in 10mm Auto
Sturm, Ruger recently unveiled the GP100® Match Champion™ revolver chambered in 10mm Auto. With its factory-tuned action and ergonomic enhancements, the Match Champion delivers fast, accurate shots and takes the popular GP100 to the next level. This GP100 Match Champion in 10mm Auto stands out against other revolvers with its polished and optimized internals, a centering boss on the trigger and centering shims on the hammer to produce a smooth double-action trigger pull and a crisp and consistent let-off. Together, the adjustable rear sight and quick-change fiber optic front sight create a great sight picture for rapid acquisition on both plates and targets. This wheelgun features a 4.20” cold hammer-forged barrel, a half-lug design with an 11-degree target crown for competition-level accuracy, a chamfered cylinder and ejector for easy loading and custom Hogue® hardwood grips with stippled sides. It has an MSRP of $969 and ships with three moon clips that allow for convenient loading and aid in the ejection of spent cartridges.

S&W expands M&P M2.0 Compact series
Smith & Wesson recently added a short- barreled version of its popular M&P M2.0 Compact pistol series with a shorter, 3.6″ barrel chambered in 9mm and .40 S&W. The newest in a series of additions to the M2.0 platform, the M&P M2.0 Compact 3.6″ pistols feature the enhanced M2.0 feature set, and the highly desired magazine capacities of the M&P M2.0 Compact 4″ pistols. Jan Mladek, General Manager of Smith & Wesson and M&P brands, said, “When we launched the M&P M2.0 Compact pistol series with a 4″ barrel last September, there was considerable interest in a shorter, 3.6″ barrel concept, and with this introduction, we’re now able to offer our consumers a lighter, shorter compact pistol for concealed carry. While the barrel length is shorter, the M&P M2.0 Compact 3.6″ pistol maintains the 15 round, 9mm magazine capacity of the Compact series – an important requirement for many of our customers.” Available with or without an ambidextrous thumb safety, the M&P M2.0 Compact pistol series includes the advanced M2.0 feature set, delivering an aggressively-textured grip, four interchangeable palmswell grip inserts, and a light, crisp M2.0 trigger with a tactile and audible reset. The M&P M2.0 Compact 3.6″ pistol comes standard with a white-dot front sight and a white two-dot rear sight, and either a 15 round 9mm or 13 round .40 S&W magazine, and an accessory rail. The pistol ships with two magazines, including two magazine extender sleeves for use with full-size magazines, as well as a limited warranty and lifetime service policy. MSRP $569.
