It weighs within an ounce of a model 69. Why didn’t Ruger think it was strong enough to chamber in a .44 magnum? I would love a GP100 in .44 mag.
This is basically what pappy348 and I were eluding too.
The S.R.H and Gp100 have a grip frame that gives more grip choices and I believe a trigger that is easier cleanup. My desire would be to have a 44 Alaskan fit with a Redhawk barrel. I do not want scope ring notches nor the double barrel look of a Super Redhawk.
I have a Gp100 .357, Redhawk 5.5” 44 and the Redhawk 45lc/45acp. I prefer the Gp100 grip I just can’t justify having Bowen build me my dream gun at least not yet
