Thanks for the write up! Good info to know.
May as well throw Magnum PI out there too—I have the boxed set and I loved that series as well. The friendship between Magnum, Higgins, T.C. And Rick comes through in spades. Silly at times, but I...
I got the Rockford Files dvd box set from my wife for Christmas. I was watching an episode titled “Gearjammers” (part two) and Rockford had to chase off some bad guys that were after his Dad, Rocky....
I often carry a 3 inch Ruger GP100 that is one of the 7 shot ones, so 7 LSWC in either Buffalo Bore or Underwood brand’s spicy 38 +p and 14 extra cartridges.
That’s all I’d take from it. Anytime I make an error and I am not permanently damaged, I take it as a terrific lesson. I’d be more concerned if I kept making the same goof repeatedly. I bet the...
Swamp Dweller, please post up photos and review once you get your GP back from Gemini Custom. Sending my GP100 to them is one of my bucket list items.
By their reputation, you’ll have a terrific...
That’s a good find! I have been looking for one of those for some time. I wish Colt would do a run of them. Enjoy and give us any updates on your experience.
Sorry SwampDweller—That would be pretty frustrating. I have alway had above average customer service from them. I hope they take care of you.
Folks, I have 2 7 shot gp100s (3 inchers) and one 4 inch 6 shot. Except for one with tight chambers that resolved once I purchased and received a chamber reamer kit (typical for my luck) they have...
Hi Folks,
I have been loading the low range of Winclean 244 for 10 mm 180 grain fmj. The load data on their website says that for 180 grain fmj, 5.5 grains will get you around 1000 ft/sec:

Currently I’m on a 10 mm kick, so mine is a glock 29 with extra .40 and .357 sig barrels and another 6 inch KKM 10 mm barrel for hunting. And two more spare glock 29s. And a 4 inch Ruger GP100 :p
:cool:
Sorry for the frustrating experience. Those are ones that can put a person off a brand. I hope you finally get some resolution. For the record I’ve had to return both Ruger and Smith and Wesson...
Beautiful revolvers!:cool:
How about. A 2 inch Kimber K6S TLE? The one with black finish, night sites and 5 finger G10 grips? Currently $850–not terrible, but at the top. Supposedly only fired “30 times”. Ends in 2 hrs:...
I subscribe to Primary and Secondary- it’s a great no-nonsense firearm podcast. They also had an episode covering the .357 magnum load a few weeks ago. Fun to listen to.
Thanks for the update Jon! Please keep posting.
Sorry you have bad luck lately. I have felt the same about other firearms at times as well when I’ve had issues. Most recently I took my Mossberg 590 from under my side of the bed to do the twice...

Well see. It will likely go for more than I can do.
That’s a good one—4 hrs to go. I am predicting there is going to be some last minute action on it. We’ll see. I’d love to have it too, but I have a feeling it will go for more than my budget and I...
I don’t have much to add, other than to say I love short barreled revolvers! I have an DAO SP101, Model 60 and just closed a deal on a 640. I prefer the all steel snubs to help with recoil control...
Interesting to see how he progresses.
Thanks for sharing.

You can do no wrong with Gemini Custom. Man they do beautiful work.
Hey Swampdweller,
Having had a few SP101s and I have 3 GP100s - two are the newer 7 round variety (with no issues FYI), they all required (for me) some trigger time shooting and lots of dry fire...
Looks great Blades! I like the unfluted cylinder—tough brute! :cool:
Enjoy and get shooting that piece of iron.
