Constructed of stainless steel, it’s rugged enough to handle a steady diet of .357 Magnum cartridges, and it has a triple-locking cylinder that latches into the frame at the front, rear and bottom for positive alignment and dependable operation. The frame has integrated subassemblies that require no special tools for takedown and maintenance. A patented double-action (DA) transfer bar mechanism provides maximum security against accidental discharge, and the action itself is tuned for fast, accurate shots. The GP100 Match Champion has a pillar-type grip frame, which accommodates assorted custom grips, and comes with ergonomic Hogue stippled hardwood, one-piece grips. Its slab-sided, 4.2-inch barrel has five-groove, 1-in-18.75-inch, right-hand twist rifling with an 11-degree target crown, plus an integral half-lug shielding the ejector rod. The revolver’s fiber-optic front sight makes for easy and rapid sight acquisition. (http://www.ruger.com)

Unlike other revolvers, the barrel is located so it aligns with the chamber at the bottom of the cylinder, making for an extremely low bore axis and greatly reduced recoil and muzzle flip. This hard chrome version has many other features, like a vent-rib barrel with an integral accessory rail and a fiber-optic front sight, an adjustable rear sight, stippled wood grips and a SA/DA action that has an internal hammer with an external actuator for thumb cocking. It also uses moon clips for rapid reloads. (http://www.chiappafirearms.com)

This particular version is ready right out of the box for “Stock” service revolver competition. It’s constructed of stainless steel and has a number of enhancements, such as chamfered charge holes in the cylinder, a custom barrel with precision-recessed crown, a bossed mainspring and an ergonomic grip that helps lower the revolver in the hand for better rapid-fire control.

The Model 715 also has a superior cylinder locking system. Grips are easily swapped and the HV6 vented, heavy barrel helps tame recoil. The DA pull is short and relatively light, with a crisp SA pull that has endeared the Dan Wesson revolver line to competitors over the years. (http://www.cz-usa.com; 800-955-4486)

The heavy barrel has a full-length ejector rod shroud and rib, and Taurus has also given the revolver an enhanced DA/SA mechanism. The Model 65 has the exclusive Taurus Security System that locks the hammer. Finger-groove, rubber combat grips finish off this impressive package. (http://www.taurususa.com; 800-327-3776)

The .357 Magnum has been one of the most popular revolver chamberings for decades. One reason for this is its versatility. A wheelgun in this caliber can shoot anything that will fit in the cylinder, from .38 Short Colt to the hottest .357 loads. It has proven effective in the field, on the range and in the streets, and as self-loaders continue to grow in number, the .357 Magnum revolver’s popularity continues with new models frequently appearing. For example, Ruger has recently modified the GP100 Match Champion that originally came with a fixed, combat rear sight dovetailed into the topstrap by giving it a fully adjustable rear sight. Scroll through the gallery above to learn about six different six-shot .357 magnum revolvers ideal for competition shooting.
