Input on a used Ruger GP100 4" barrel

@Coyota
Well after reading your post I got crazy and called Ruger to find out when my GP was made, and the man said it was made in January of 05. I don't see any tooling marks, and the trigger is nice and crisp. I am guessing it is between 4-5 lbs. It is possible the trigger was polished by a gunsmith and is not the factory trigger. This gun came from the factory with a Hogue finger grip. I thought the grip was an aftermarket one, but I was wrong. The rep said that Hogue makes all the grips that come with the GP.

No I am almost certain that it was LNIB the man who bought it originally hid it under his bed from his wife until she found it and forced him to sell it. :rolleyes: So I got it like new not even fired didn't even leave the box!

Grips make all the difference in the world in how well you shoot a handgun. When I shoot full house loads the hump didn't bother me, until you brought it brought it to my attention.

Lol between these two posts I feel like I'm ruining you GP100 love! ;) That wasn't my intention I promise! I'm sure your GP100 is a great specimen!
 
Venom1956,

Well, I still have an infatuation for my GP hump or not. I could switch to the wood insert ones for about 25.00, but I still like the finger grip. I'll take a rasp to the hump! But seriously I think it fills my hand.
 
And just like that....its gone from my life....

I didnt move on it fast enough, sold last night. Ahh well, at least now I know after reading up on it and feedback on here that its a decent model. Thanks guys
 
GP100s aren't exactly scarce man, don't sweat it

Nope, not at all - just about every vendor at the last gun show I went to had at least one of every barrel length. I got the 3" but I think I should have went for the 4"

As for reliability, "built like a tank" would be an understatement. Heck, you could probably run one over with a tank and pick it up and shoot it.

Hyperbole? Yeah....but not by much;)

Mine came with the newer Hogue grips, but have been on the lookout for the old style. I like the look a lot better
 
Everything said, I am not a fan of revolvers with scopes. They just seem impractical. The short range these guns are good for just doesn't justify having a scope wiggling around on it. It's still a fine revolver. I would leave it alone.
