    3” 7-shot GP-100

    With fiber front and adjustable rear sight. I kinda hope they make these for a while because I kinda really want one.

    I’d like to have that in a six shot.

    Me too.
    I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.

    I have two 7-shot. No complaints.

    Nice and handy and love the 2.5" barrel
    with small grip although I have average
    sized hands.

    Postings have complained about the fitting
    of some cartridges. I have had no problems.

    I have two with 2.5" barrels, compact grips.
    Very nice.

    They are 7-shooters and no trouble with
    loading, no binding or overlap of cartridges.

    i know some cartridges from some makers
    won't fit very well or not at all but so far,
    all is OK.

    There are rim lock issues with some ammunition even though it is saami spec. I spoke to Ruger about it... And they don't seem to think it is a problem. This is why I went with the 6 shot! Ruger forum had some good info in regards to the problem.

    That makes me sad.

    They have made them, but I don't think they had FO front sights. However, should you find one of the older ones, Dawson Precision makes a FO for the GP100.

    I have always been a sucker for 3 inch revolvers. Jumping from 2 inches to 3 inches greatly increased my hit probability when shooting J frames. In K frames I prefer the 2.5inch 19 or 66. But with large frame revolvers like a GP100, the revolver is already so large that I don’t see the advantage of choosing the 3 inch version over the 4 inch. For me giving up the extra sight radius and losing velocity would not be worthwhile. However, I must confess that I like the balanced look. And yes, the 3 inch will do anything that the 4 inch would do.

    For some reason, I thought the previous 3" guns all had fixed sights.
