Since its debut in 1985, the GP100 has been a staple in the Ruger line, and as a defensive handgun is tough to beat. A few years ago TALO distributors collaborated with American Rifleman Field Editor Wiley Clapp to arrive at a 3" barrel, .357 Mag., combat-style revolver. The TALO model comes with Novak-style combat sights and with a host of other features spec'd out by Wiley to make this .357 snubby a deisrable, carryable, personal-defense gun. Learn more in this "Rifleman Review" segment from a recent episode of American Rifleman TV.
