Very nice, .357 Mag is a great round and the .38 special also works for target

GP100 is a solid gun,might not be as refined as a S&W 686 out of the box but with a little work they will shoot great and last a loooong time.
 
I have a Replica 1858 New Army Revolver (cap and ball), A Taurus 709 slip, Remington 870 shotgun (Home defense barrel and long barrel). Weatherby .308 vanguard rifle with LeupoldII scope, My grandfathers 10 guage shotgun that he had in WWII. My next purchase will be a Hi- Point carbine (probably .40 cal)
 
Just swapped my 6in S&W 686+ tulip wood grip to my dad's (god rest his soul) 4in 686. Much better fit and look. Put the original Hogue rubber grip back my 6in. Life is back into equilibrium.

And gunporn pix you shall have!

Picked it around lunchtime but had a few other things to do before setting up for a few pics...

Gotta say guys, she's a beauty no matter which way ya' look at it. When I first learned about Ruger releasing the GP100 years ago, I wanted one.

I suppose the new style grips are better than the rubber/rosewood style it first came out with, but the Hogue grips seem to fit/feel well enough.

Anyway, enough talking...here's the anticipated photos of the newest addition



 
Nice. Similar grips to my 686+, but with backstrap covered and without the odd hump under the hammer. Yet I'm sure that allows a snug grip closer the bore line for less recoil flip.

Don't knock the Ruger rubber grips with plastic/wood panels. I have the rubber/black plastic panel grips on my SP101 and they are VERY nice for a sure hold. Not a fan of the rubber/wood panel grip looks, but they are surely just as functional.

Beauty gun, man. Cant go wrong with a GP100.
 
Thanks, it's something I've been wanting for about 25 years or so...life just had a way of keeping it on the back-burner.

As far as the grips go, I imagine the textured surface would allow for better control in situations where rain/sweat might make the original grips a bit squirrely with thier smooth surface.

That stainless finish sure is a winner, though...damn it looks mighty good sittin' there!
 
In a way it is a good thing they shoot like dumbasses because it makes a competant opponent (police, homeowner, etc) knock them down quicker.

The downside is when these idiots are trying to "bust caps" into each other down in the hood, they more often hit innocent bystanders than each other.
 

Just gave a loser Ahole in Seattle 28yrs for exactly that. He was trying to shoot another guy across the street and executed a father driving a mini-van. Blew his brains out right in front of his wife and children while waiting at a stop light downtown. Oh and guess what? Gang member with a rap sheet as long as his arm. When will be ever learn.
