Lipsey's special, blued GP100 with a 4.2" barrel. 500 to be made with serial number JQ-000 through JQ-500.

Not to disrespect Jeff's memory but why couldn't Ruger have made a half lug, round barrel, 4.2" version like this in SS and blued, in all of their various calibers, starting in 1986?

Pretty awesome.

That would make a nice 10mm/40 S&W revolver, too.

Ohhhh...nice!

What a great memorial for a great guy.

They were going after the big seller at the time, the 586/686. You have to look like the competition.

Is it a five shooter?

Yes.

No offense to Jeff Quinn. I was a fan, but I'll stick with my Charter Arms Bulldog .44, which is a lot lighter than the Ruger, and just a hair larger in proportion than a Colt Detective Special .38.

If you actually took that thing out and shot it you'd soon wish you had the Ruger!!!

I would take one of those Rugers in a heartbeat. Nice wheelgun!
Les

i think its fantastic

LOL

Shootablity.

It's a thing.

Can't deny that.

I think that it's cool that they did that.

I had no idea who Jeff Quinn was before I saw this thread and investigated....but I sure like that revolver.

I have the Lipseys 5” half lug in 10mm and it’s awesome, love it. Loading Rimrock 220gr hard cast to 1200 fps, good stuff

I wish I’d bought the 44 special version too. Now they are scarce and around $1200+

Seems like everything is about $1200 bucks these days.

I paid closer to $700 when they were stocked

All those Lipsey specials were bad azz. I kick myself for not pulling the trigger on the 327 version a couple years ago.
Placed an order and in the week or so it took the dealer to call back I talked myself out of it. Bought a stupid shotgun instead.

Nice pistols.

I think I bought my 10mm Match Target from CDNN for $600 a couple of years ago? Nice shooter so far. My 44 Specials are early Smith N-frames and custom OM Ruger's.

In five years you will be looking back on those prices as the good old days when guns were affordable.

You are most likely right about that.

Would of preferred a 44 mag. I could then shoot either rounds in it.

Great trio of revolvers there, Ed.

They would have to go to the Redhawk frame vs the GP100 frame to chamber the .44 mag resulting in a much bigger/bulkier gun. Matter of fact, it would probably look a lot like the 4.2'' .44 mag Redhawk that already exists.

Nice gun
Good guy

I got a text from my LGS that mine came in today. Slipped by and picked it up on the way home. Fit and finish is awesome, just need the range to dry out now, and give it a go.

Dandy little Ruger!

I had my local dealer order one for me and it is going to be $885.00 out the door.
I am waiting for FEDEX to deliver
I do enjoy 44 Special.

That's a decent price in today's market. There are at least seven listed on gunbroker right now, the cheapest starting bid was $879 and it's sitting at $893 right now with $30 shipping, the rest all started bids at $900 or so with several bid up over $1000. Buy it now prices are all $1200 up to $1400.

I only have one 44 Special, that's all I need.
