This week (and through SHOT) I'm going to be writing about the various wheelguns that have made their way into my current collection, mostly because I can. Today's entry: the plain jane vanilla GP100.

Nice, are those the match champion grips or regular hogues ? Rumor has it Ruger is coming out with an adjustable sight version of the match champion. I seem to recall that was one of your observations when you reviewed the Novak site version.
Those are the regular Hogues, the MC stocks are checkered on the sides and, IMHO generally better. Ruger did announce the adjustable sight MC before SHOT, I'll be adding one of those to the goon collection shortly.
Also, I'm now seriously considering getting this gun rechambered in 10mm by Clements Custom because a 10mm GP100 sounds AWESOME.
Shown on the Ruger site as of five minutes ago.

That would be awesome!
Part 2: The Smith & Wesson 929
I really like this gun. It's ridiculous, it's heavy, it's worthless for anything other than a very narrow competition shooting window, and I don't care because what's not to love about a 2.5 pound 8 shot 9mm?
Part three, and one that I think will appeal to the more...old school: one of my two Ruger Security Sixes in .357 Magnum. This one has been tuned up by the Gun Wizards down in Louisiana and as a result is probably one of the nicest examples of the Security Six species out there.
Interesting. I traded a 6" Security Six for a new 4" GP100 in 1987. In 89/90 I was issued a 4" Security Six and wish I'd bought it when we traded for 9mms. Back in the early 90s I used the GP as an off duty gun in a Bianchi Pistol Pocket.
I checked out the 3" Gemini Customs GP100 conversion on their website and ran across their high polish blued version. That is one of the most beautiful new guns I've ever seen. I would rather have that than a high end custom 1911.
