I drop this hog on the run at about 40 yds with my gp100.

Its funny, I just started my research today into revolvers. The GP100 was one of my top picks but was getting on here tonight in order to post a question regarding it. Low and behold someone beat me to it!

Of the many guns I have owned and sold over the years my 4 inch GP-100 is the one I regret getting rid of the most. It was one of the best shooting 357 magnums I have ever owned. One of these days I will get another one.

Don't own one but I have shot my fathers SS with 6" barrel a bit and it's a solid accurate gun. :twocents:

WOW! Awesome pic Videoman.  I checked the Ruger site today and they want $50 freakin bucks for one of those fiber optic sights  :yike:
I thinkin the nail polish sounds like a good idea after seein that B.S.
So from what you guys have posted so far the GP100 sounds like a no brainer.  So how about the holster?  What are you guys using for this thing?

Nice gun, well made, a bit heavy but overall a dandy sidearm.

i had a gp100, it was pretty good. gave it to my brother and about 2 years later his house burned down. he found it in the rubble and had it checked by a local gunsmith. it checked out fine, had it rebuilt/refinished and still uses it today.  i would rate it a well built firearm.

I'm in the market for one myself. Love the feel, have not shot one however.
Check out sharpshooters, they rent guns at their indoor range.  As for buying it, I wouldn't count out the double eagle pawn shop in Deer Park.  If they don't have them cheaper than anyplace else, they will at least match anyone's price.  :twocents:

I have mine for 3+ years. My fishing/hunting companion... Blue with 4 inch barrel. Very accurate. I bought a front sight with RED insert from Ruger directly. Works just fine.
