Ruger GP100 Standard

WHY THIS CATALOGUE NUMBER: Ruger's GP100 Standard page displays 24 catalogue numbers (1702, 1704, 1705, 1707, 1715, 1753, 1757, 1759, 1762, 1763, 1768–1774, 1777, 1780, 1782–1784, 1789, 1790) and embeds a specification object for exactly one of them, 1707. Every displayed model also links its own spec sheet, so the single-object rule the LCP MAX record relied on no longer forces the choice; 1707 is recorded because it is the configuration Ruger's own page presents as its specification record, the same test the RXM, Mark IV, LCP MAX and LCR records apply. The other 23 — 19 further .357 Magnum configurations plus one each in .327 Federal Magnum, .44 Special, 10mm Auto and .22 LR, across other barrel lengths, finishes, sights and distributor exclusives — are separate listings under the base-model rule, and none of 1707's figures may be carried across to them. The GP100 Match Champion and Super GP100 are separate product keys entirely. THE MEASUREMENTS COME FROM RUGER'S PER-MODEL SPEC SHEET, NOT FROM THE MODELS-PAGE JSON, AND THAT CHANGES WHAT IS CONVERTED. The earlier Ruger records say Ruger publishes imperial only; that is true of the JSON object on the models page and false of the spec sheet linked from it (specSheets/1707.html), which prints every length and the weight in both systems. So no value on this record is directory-converted. Ruger prints metric in centimetres and kilograms (29.2 cm, 15.2 cm, 1.27 kg), re-expressed here as 292 mm, 152 mm and 1270 g, which is a decimal shift within one system rather than a conversion. Ruger's metric figures are truncated rather than rounded: 11.50 in is 292.1 mm and 45 oz is 1275.7 g, so the two published systems differ slightly within each row. Both are recorded as published and neither is flagged, the CZ Shadow 2 rule — `converted` means this directory derived a figure, and it derived none. The JSON and the spec sheet agree on every imperial figure (6.000 in barrel, 11.500 in length, 45.000 oz). OVERALL WIDTH AND HEIGHT ARE UNRECORDED BECAUSE RUGER DOES NOT PUBLISH THEM. The JSON carries `width: 0.000` and `height: 0.000`, which are placeholders — a revolver has neither dimension at zero — and the spec sheet prints no width or height row at all. `execution/extract_ruger_specs.py` prints those zeros as though they were values, because it filters only empty strings and nulls; they are not recorded. TRIGGER ACTION IS da/sa, AND IT COMES FROM THE MANUAL RATHER THAN THE PAGE. Ruger's structured `action` field reads "Double-Action", which the LCR record established is a catalogue shelf spanning both dao and da/sa and cannot select either. The GP100 instruction manual discriminates: its loading-and-firing procedure (PDF p. 17, step 3) says the revolver "is now ready to fire, either 'double action' by pulling the trigger through its complete arc for each shot, or 'single action' by cocking the hammer and then pulling the trigger for each shot". That is an operating instruction for this revolver, not the generic caution box on the same page ("This characteristic is found in all modern double action revolvers"), which is the Colt Python distinction between the section describing your gun and the section teaching how guns work. `system` carries the manual's clause verbatim, and `triggerActionSource` footnotes both action rows to the manual. Ignition and operating system are unset: the manual names a hammer, a transfer bar and a firing pin ("the hammer blow can be transmitted to the firing pin only when the trigger is pulled all the way to the rear", PDF p. 11) without classifying the ignition, which is the call the Colt Python record makes on the same kind of wording, and a revolver's cycling is not among the operating-system union's values. WARRANTY IS RECORDED, AND IT IS A STATEMENT THAT THERE IS NONE. The earlier Ruger records omit the field because Ruger's web pages never mention a warranty. The manual does, explicitly (PDF p. 44, "Why no warranty card has been packed with this new Ruger firearm"): Ruger "has elected not to provide any written warranty, either 'limited' or 'full'" and refers owners to implied warranties under state law. That is a positive manufacturer statement rather than a negative inferred from an absent page, so it is recorded, footnoted to the manual. Year introduced is unrecorded: the JSON's `introDate` reads 1000-01-01, a placeholder rather than a date, and Ruger's online news archive (which reaches back to 2001) holds no GP100 launch release. Family is unset because the directory's Family union has no GP100 value; Ruger does publish the series name (its JSON `line` field reads "GP100®"), so this is a gap in the directory's vocabulary rather than the maker's, and adding the value is a user decision. Frame class is unset because Ruger publishes no size class. Weight sits in `weightUnloaded` on the LCR's reasoning: Ruger states no basis, and a revolver has no magazine. The manual says that "some" GP100 revolvers will chamber .357 Magnum, .38 Special +P and .38 Special; that sentence is hedged across models and is not recorded as a fact about 1707. Also published and unrecorded for want of a schema field: a 1:18.75 in RH twist with five grooves, a stainless steel construction with a satin stainless finish, Hogue Monogrip grips, UPC 7-36676-01707-2, a $1,109.00 suggested retail price, California and Massachusetts approval, and a "limited availability" flag, which is not a production-status claim.
