It may be cheaper, and easier to manufacture, but it has always been well know that the GP100 replaced the Six series because Ruger felt it suffered abuse from constant 357 firing.
Total nonsense.Models 19 & 66 are not true .357 Mag guns
I would have to agree with that. Smith & Wesson is willfully doing something to the double action trigger of the new guns where you draw the trigger back 85% of it's travel and the damn thing hits a wall, stops dead, and requires excessive pressure to break it on a double action pull.Anyone who says the 686 trigger is better than the GP100, has not compared recently manufactured examples. I have a 686, and its trigger is certainly NOT any better than my GP100. Both revolvers were manufactured in 2012.
Spare me.Sevens,
You might want to do a Google search of problems associated with firing .357 Mag rounds exclusively out of an "K" Frame.
I looks to me like he's read them just fine, you should try actually reading them a M19 will live just finr shooting 158gr it's the 125gr nuclear loads that erode the forcing cone and lead to cracks.You might want to do a Google search of problems associated with firing .357 Mag rounds exclusively out of an "K" Frame.
Here's on from Ruger forum the OP admitted to many thousand max loadings of H110 and 125gr bullets but ultimatly Ruger is not immune to erosion and will eventually crack.It is noteworthy that I have yet to read any internet stories or have personal experiences with a fatal mechanical failure in a GP100.
