Wiley Clapp, in collaboration with TALO Distributors and Ruger, has enhanced the GP100 to create a more efficient, field-ready revolver. His modifications focus on improving its handling and functionality without altering the gun's core mechanics. The gun was fitted with a 3-inch barrel, Novak wide-notch Lo-Mount rear sight, and a fiber-optic front sight for better target acquisition. The original Hogue rubber grip was replaced with an Altamont grip featuring Diamondwood inserts, enhancing comfort and control. The revolver's frame was also subtly contoured for easier handling and holstering. These refinements have made the GP100 even more suitable for defensive use and outdoor environments. With its superior grip, precise sighting system, and smooth operation, the Wiley Clapp Ruger GP100 offers an improved shooting experience, making it a standout in both performance and versatility.
