Drooled over many pictures of Doug Turnbull’s work, but haven’t ever bought anything or had any work done by him. Phenomenal, to say the least! Can’t wait to see pics of it when your’s is done.

Wonderful! Do they also make an action job or is it "just cosmetics"? However, that's true craftsmenship

First rate I'm sure - I'm just not a fan of CCH unless historical. I don't find the finish particularly cosmetically pleasing. That's just me tho.

Glad you're happy but, to me, it seems a little sacrilegious to let Turnbull loose on a Ruger GP 100. Is a Glock 19 next? I guess tastes vary, though.

He has to pay for his airplane gas somehow. He spends a whole lotta time in his Piper Cub traveling the country, and just having a good time. That costs money. He gets the money by employing people and selling stuff. Frankly, that's the best-looking GP-100 I've ever seen (I think they're kinda ugly).

Best looking GP100 to my eye is the half lug barrel with the flat sides on the Match Champion. Except Ruger can't resist using the flats on the barrel as billboards. That Turnbull treatment on a clean barrel Match Champion with the adjustable sights in .44 Special would be nice. Like really nice.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I'm with ya' on the "barrel as billboards." It detracts from the guns, for sure.

Looks pretty nice. Are they doing any action work, or just the color case hardening?

It’s not often you see Rugers being referred to as “purty” but that one’s pretty close! 😁 I like the contrast between the CCH and the blued surfaces.
