i had a neighbor come by this morning, telling me a mutual friend had just got in one of these rugers at his LGS yesterday morning. I groaned and said why did you tell me that? Now i am having to go look? Kike i need one, but what does need have to do with it? Luckily my friend at the LGS at sold it yesterday afternoon, the same day it got in. A M.D. actually bought it. I am safe with loosing money out of my pocket for a while. He did stick me with a box of .45colt 225 jacketed soft point at about half price.

Steelhead, makes me kick myself for selling a nickel Triple-Lock mfg in 1906.......smoother than a buttery action Python.
I always felt a GP-100 in 41 Mag, say a 4" would be a good wish list item........a 44 sp is close.

Got mine today, hit the range and put about 50 rounds through it. Trigger is nothing to be proud of that's for GD sure. I may have to drop this New Year's resolution and do some gunsmithing. The 260 gr. Keith doing about 950 fps hit POA @ the 25 and the 15 with the rear sight bottomed out. Will try some more loads tomorrow. I have some XTP's and 200gr. W/C's loaded up. Travis

my friend that owns the gun store is pretty experienced on handguns, he used to run about 40k to 50k a year, actually took rob once or twice.
He made the same comments about the trigger. Other comment was they are built strong but they aren't a smith. He is a smith guy. but they about half the price of a 696 these days too.

I just stoned the innards and things are a bit smoother. Will order some Wolf springs tomorrow.
The weight and those grips handle that load very well. I don't think I'd want it much lighter.

Plenty of powerful revolvers that aren't boat anchors. My 5 1/2" 500 Linebaugh weighs near my 6 1/2 M629.

Looks like the GP100 could benefit from a taller front sight.

260gr.Keith and Power Pistol. I forget how much though. It could be running closer to 1,100fps.
I'll have to check.

Travis I'd like to hear your take on this Ruger vs. me waiting on the 2.75" s&w "sexty nine" . I've got the 4.25" 69 and dig it tremendously.

Dave His cousin may be hot, and might be a distant (like fourth or fifth) cousin....

Dave I dated my cousin in high school and she wouldn't put out , so I've filled the void with the 4" smith which I love and will likely follow up with the "almost 3 incher " as well I suppose . Still watching this ruger though just in case Apologies for picture whoring an off topic piece

200gr. W/C's had the same POI as the Keith's. 15yds. and I wasn't taking my time. 200gr. XTP's = same/same.

But yes, Ruger. If these three loads are hitting to the same POA, with the rear sight bottomed, you need a taller front sight.
