Just saw on Jeff Quinn's Facebook page, the new Ruger GP100 in .44 Special. 5 shot cylinder and 3" barrel in the initial offering. Don't really know how to show the post, but I think the link to his picture is here: https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...fd52218675686834b8a0fc40&oe=58AE7A1E

Well, I'll be having one of those.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

I expect they'll be on back order for a bit

He said they are shipping to dealers next week. Don't know how many each dealer will get, but I imagine they will be moving off the shelves pretty swiftly.

Assuming no bullet weight restrictions (like some of the S&W L-frame 44spls), I will definitely be buying one of these.

That is one of the most sensible revolvers to come along in a while, IMO.

Bob This would be the better, and by far more interesting, revolver for Ruger to make.

Bob Or 10mm/10 Mag, like the custom makers turn out. To me, the appeal of the Bulldog is its light weight, its compactness and the good-size chunk of lead it fires. Take away any of those qualities and it's just another belt gun. But I am happy for the 44 Special guys too, RJM.

The latest rebirth of the Rossi 720, S&W 696, and Taurus 441/431. 'Hope that Ruger will sell enough of them so that they'll have a longer run than than the Rossis, S&Ws, and Taurus' did.

I've got to believe these will sell. I like my 696, and my 431's, blue and stainless. Like Sarge my Bulldog get's carried.
