I like these quite a bit. Aesthetically pleasing. Good sights and nice overall size.

Agreed, but the grips are the full-size "old-style," and my scientific wild-ass guess is that many of those grips will be sitting in drawers after being replaced by the "compact" versions of the same thing. I suffered the tortures of the damned trying to find the perfect GP100 grip and never did find the holy grail, though the compact factory grip at least had the saving grace of being smaller than the rest of the behemoths that always seemed longer than necessary. Full-sized factory grips and Hogues were forever taking up space that something else - my forearm, or my gut, my jacket, the truck's seat, etc - wanted to occupy.
(While it is pure subjectivity, I also preferred the looks of the compact grips on 4" and shorter GP100s, though on a 6" they appeared a tad undernourished.)
I have a somewhat checkered history with Ruger GP100 and S&W 686 revolvers, having bought and sold a lot of them but never keeping them "because autoloaders." I really don't need one, but I have developed another itch and am making plans to pick up a plain-jane 4" stainless GP100 on the cheap, and do nothing else to it but put on an old style factory compact grip (fortuitously, they are back with us as of right now) and maybe a tritium front sight. Utilitarian leather like a Simply Rugged will probably be all I will need for a holster. Basically a somewhat heavy "fun gun," but one that would be simple point and pull, with enough reliability and horsepower to do what has to be done come what may.

My 47th birthday present to myself.
Hoping to shoot it tomorrow. Not sure I’ll keep the laser grips.
It might be time to quit clowning around, and put this thread to bed, Doc.

Be sure to get the uncle mikes boot grips with it.
Indeed.
S&W ought to bring them out again. (Make the front sight replaceable if you do, guys.)
OTOH, the 66-8 that @03RN has is a sweet revolver.
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
