Looks like Lipsey has some new GP100 special editions:
This is a 6-shot .357 Magnum GP100 with tapered 5" barrel and walnut target grips. Also has a gold bead front sight. I REALLY love the looks of it, reminds me of an old S&W Model 28 or something, with that tapered barrel and blued steel and walnut. Maybe the classiest Ruger GP100 I have ever seen. I bet it will balance wonderfully compared to my old full-lug 6" stainless GP100, and the 5" barrel still lets the .357 achieve its full potential without being as bulky and long as my 6" gun.
I sold my 6" GP100 about a year ago for being too nose heavy, but have missed it greatly. I've shot the hell out of that gun and the action got sooo smooth and was just a wonderful revolver. I think if they had this variant back then and I'd bought it, I'd have never have sold my GP. Lipsey is also making this model in a 5-shot .44 Special and 7-shot .327 Fed Mag, but I am much more interested in the 6-shot .357 as I love the caliber, it is cheap to feed, and I already have speedloaders and cases for 6-shot .357 GP100s.
So what do you guys think? Should I snag it while it's available?
