ruger gp100
I traded in a pistol I don't use today. The little kahr was nice to carry but I never did anymore with my lcr and glocks. Used the money to put a blued gp100 in 357 mag. Been wanting one a while and was finally able to grab one yay!
Can't wait to get her out of layaway and put some rounds through it.

Had one for years, real nice piece.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: ruger gp100
This will probably be part of my home defense arsenal, a range toy, and to use my hand loads in. It also would make a nice companion to take in the woods hunting or hiking. Can't wait to bring it home. I have been drooling over these for a couple of years now lol.

That is a real pretty block of steel. And 357 is a real powerhouse. Good luck remaining calm till you get to bring it home.

Re: ruger gp100
Sweet! I looked at a few security six pistols. They were nice. Just never found a reasonably priced one when I had cash in hand.
Would love to get a 44 mag revolver sometime. There was a super Alaskan next to the gp100 in the case. Very tempting but it was out of my price range haha. Love them revolvers.

Re: ruger gp100
Lookin good pony. I had those sights on mine and they busted somehow when I checked it at the airport. Got these to replace them. Much better than that black front sight.

Re: ruger gp100
Those look nice! Firesights? I'm going to paint the front sight the same bright orange I used on my lcr. Made a huge difference.

Re: ruger gp100
Awesome. Don't know yet what I'll do with the sights. Just gonna shoot it now. I kinda like the rear sight as is though. Just the front is a little dark and tough to pick up in lower light.

Re: ruger gp100
I was ok with the rear. The front was horrible. But the rear broke so I got to get a whole set.

Re: ruger gp100

I have it's little brother, the SP101. Ruger makes a hell of a rugged wheel gun.
