Anybody out there have one?
This year's model has adjustable sights. Last year's has the novak sights. Which would you prefer? Note, I already have other GP100s with adjustable sights. Are the ones with novaks "on" out to 25 yards or do you have to hold in certain positions to hit the target?
I myself have handled four. One was real nice (fit and finish) with an awesome trigger (that gun is now gone). One was real nice (fit and finish) with a horrible trigger. One had an incredible trigger but a weird looking cylinder gap. It was noticeably tighter at the top of the forcing cone and cylinder, than at the bottom (is that what they mean about canting?) One looked like it was polished with a wire brush and the lazer engraving was so rough, you could have used it for a file. Trigger was so bad on that gun, it would turn you into a Taurus fan. That was the only one I've handled with adjustable sights.
I'm a little gun shy about shelling out $800 for something I'm going to have to send back or to a gunsmith. I've been a Ruger fan for many years but I keep hearing and reading horror stories about Ruger's QC in recent times. I already have one Ruger gun that has frustrating me to the point I not sure I want to give my blue collar dollar to Ruger anymore, but I would for a Match Champion if it was "right".
