Given that I have an N-frame .357, a 10mm really doesn't make sense for me. I'm going to keep telling myself that.
(It does work. I haven't bought a new Python.)
I have a lot of those 40 cal clips from TK Custom, and they are good to go for competition or even concealed carry. When I carry my 10mm Wiley Clapp, I'm usually carrying 180gr HST in those clips.Quote:

No shimmed hammer, rough action, and those grips that look so great in the picture were ill-fitting and rattled when you held the gun.
Sample size of one and all, and nothing that I wasn't able to fix, but disappointing to say the least.
I have a .357 4" GP100, so I keep telling myself it doesn't make sense, but it's hard because I have 10mm brass, dies, and bullets all boxed up in the closet...Quote:

Gary Reeder builds a 5-shot .41 Mag GP100 conversion that will cost you about the same as a decent beater work truck. Folks on the various Ruger fora have petitioned Ruger to make a .41 Mag GP100, and have been greeted with silence. I'm not sure if that's because of market forces, or if Ruger's penchant for over-engineering makes them less comfortable with the idea of a .41 Mag GP100 than Gary Reeder, or both.Quote:

I am glad for those who like this concept.
There is one of these at a LGS and the bluing is much better than pictured. I put a set of those wood grips that are shown on the pic that Polar posted on my 357 MC GP100 and they were in need of fitting (loose) and they were slick to hold. They are no longer on my MC. 10mm is intriguing as I already load for 40 and I own a 4" Model 69 44. If I were a decade younger and still crawling around in the hills as I used to I would probably purchase it.
Love the platform, great idea, especially with the 3" WC as a companion piece. One for town and one for country.
A quick look over at SGammo shows that not only is 10mm in stock, but it’s available at pre-covid .45acp prices. It’s a lot cheaper than .38 or .45acp, let alone .357. Hell, it’s roughly mid-2020 9mm pricing, and one can actually order it, to boot.Quote:
