i have a friend that wants to trade his ruger gp100 .357 with stainless finish for my smith & wesson m&p 9c. cant make up my mind and just wanted to get some opinions. thanks
 
The GP 100 is an exceptionally versatile revolver and it's quite pleasant to shoot too. I wouldn't want to carry it all day however. That's where the 9C is going to shine. Honestly, they're both great guns.


What's the primary purpose of your gun?
 
i mostly just do alot of target shooting with it. its a great gun just the thought of somthing new also gets me thinking. its the whole grass is always greener on the other side deal.
 
Get that GP100. M&P's are all over I cant say the same for the GP's. For a DA revolver thats abput as tough as tough as you can get.
 
what else is in the safe?

Were it me, I would have to consider what else I own.

If I already had a hanful of revolvers then...9c etc.

I own both and love them equally but they are sooooo different.



I would also consider if money is tight, which is more important if you had to thin the herd later. If you can only have one, keep the one that you would pick in an emergency.
 
I own both. I shoot a lot more 9mm than I do .38special or .357mag. I don't reload. I don't carry.

If I can only own one gun, a .357 is fun, but a 9mm will do what I need it to the most, and I can afford to practice with it more.

That said, I do shoot the full-sized 9mm a lot more than my M&P 9c.

For your intended purpose, either is fine. However, you didn't identify how easy it is for you to afford .38special/.357mag ammo?

For a comparison, I usually buy 9mm from Wal-Mart for $19.99 per 100. I find the .38special around $16/17 per 50, and I find the .357mag around $18-24 per 50.

Revolvers are fun. If you reload they are easy to feed. However, if you are buying factory rounds you can afford to shoot a 9mm much more often than a GP100.
