4 inch 10mm GP would be an excellant all around pistol in my book , usable for near any purpose except big bear defense or deep concealment

assuming a fella was in the mood to tote a sixgun instead of an auto

Only real advantage with the revolver is no possible feeding issues.


Plus one on this idea. Cheers NC

I think a Flattop Ruger with two cylinders would be cool as fugg. One of these days I'm going to stop being a pussy and get it done.

I have often thought of having Harton make me a second 10mm cylinder on this old flattop 38 WCF he built for me.

Nice! One of the other ones I considered is a New Model Vaquero .357 frame converted to 10mm and Clement's S&W style rear sight and his pinned on front sight.

Ruger made a few Blackhawks in .38-40/10mm, and they should be less expensive yet.

S&W 610's are fine weapons and very desirable among collectors; I have a 5" and it shoots well.

You can find good Kimbers/Colt Deltas for a grand or so.

i acquired one of those a few years ago. That long tube adds a new dimension to 10mm in terms of velocity.

The other I am thinking is a second cylinder for this Smith. I have one of the mentioned Ruger convertibles that I will be selling later this year.

That's a NICE model 28 S&W ! Was it converted to .38 WCF ? Never seen one in that caliber.

I've had one of the Ruger Buckeye Sports Specials in 38-40 / 10mm for a long time. Never clocked it for velocity, over a chrono, but it's a very accurate handgun.

I think I have found a perfect GP100 for the conversion. It is the stainless Wiley Clapp version with 3" barrel and Novak sights. Looking at 8 to 12 month turnaround. I should probably spring for an action job while he has it.

Well crap! The Wiley Clapp version won't work. It has too much taper to the front of the cylinder.

Convert the Clapp version to the one that will take moon clips and fire all the .355"-.358" rimmed, semi-rimmed, and rimless rounds (.380 to .357Magnum).

You still haven't indicated what your preferred use for this rig would be. Form follows function.

I just bought a S&W Model 69 .44 Mag to hunt with and my daily carry gun for the past year has been a RIA 10mm which I have also used for deer and pigs. I am really leaning toward the Ruger 10mm conversion as another carry gun. Plus I have never had a custom handgun and I will be turning 50 next year and by the time it will be complete it will be a nice birthday present.

Ah.

The GP is a heavy piece to carry daily. However, wanting a "semi-custom" I can understand.

I can't see giving up a 1911 as a carry piece for a GP, as it won't carry nearly as well. Then again, neither would a Glock or a 1006, so if it's a 10 you're sold on, then why not?

I have a G20 and a 1076, but when I come across a G40, i'll have a hard time resisting. I guess I just don't get having a revolver chambered for an auto cartridge, but I'd like to try JCM's idea of the 4.2" SP101 to a 5 shot/moon clipped 10mm, purely for R&D of course.

I have ordered a stainless GP100 .38 Spcl with 3 inch barrel and adjustable sights to send to Clements. The finished product should look something like this:

Since I will have a year wait and will need an IWB and a belt holster does anyone have any suggestions?
