    Talon tape grip fix

    The gun "squirmed" a little more than I like with the heavy load, but a little Talon textured tape on the grip panel fixed it.

    Can you show a pic of the whole gun with that tape on it? That actually looks good.

    Changed picture apps and added last picture back to thread. This picture shows the Talon tape clearly on a set of CTC laser grips I need for old eyes and low light.
    Unfortunately the cylinder pictures aren't replaceable.

    I hope Ruger brings one out as a regular catalog item.

    I had one in my sights before the Covid hit ... but I missed out ... It was at a semi-LGS ... I was a day late and dollar short...

    A 7 shot 357 snubbie is on my short list when things turn back to normal..

    The Talon tape looks surprisingly "right," and has to be functionally superior to the slick factory panels.

    Which reminds me...

    I need to get off my lazy tail and find someone to make me a set of checkered American holly inserts for the GP100 compact grip.

    I have one and it has been as good as my 3” 6 shot one. It took 2 trips to Ruger. The first for rim lock - replaced with a brand new gun. The second had a rough action that they smoothed out. It is a great revolver.

    Apologies for reviving a dead thread, but I thought it'd be better to post to this one rather than making a new thread with the same question. Since it's 2022 and the supposedly-revised models have been out for a bit now, do we know for sure whether the 7 shot GP100s are good to go?

    Anyone have reports?
