RUGER TALO GP100 3"

Concur, fervently. I loathe the "read instruction manual" bit.

JCN can take that billboard off with a little angle grinder and bondo.

I kid, I kid. JCN you're awesome. Keep living your best life one mad science project at a time.

Looks that way. We had multiple threads about it.

https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....shot-vs-7-shot

Summary: The original 7 shot had the same size cylinder (and presumably the same frame)as the 6 shot GP100. The newer / current production 7 shots have a slightly larger cylinder, which apparently a required moving the forcing cone location making it 7 shot specific frame. This is likely why Ruger was replacing the early problem guns instead of just swapping cylinders.

On another note, give it a few years and Ruger collectors will be paying top dollar for rare "original" 7 shot "Rim Lock" GP-100s.........

Interesting.

I guess one of the benefits to this drought is that by the time I see a new one of these for sale it should have the updated frame

This the reason, after more than 20 years, I've never parted with this Security Six in 2 3/4. Quite possibly the perfect sized do all .357.

Well worth the $125.00 I paid for it used, so many years ago.

If I could just find some better sights than the originals.

Meh. 7 shot means my speed loaders won't work and I wish they'd put the "read instruction manual" roll mark in a less visible place. Especially on the stainless versions it's an eye sore.

On my SP101 that I bought in 2017, the "read instruction manual" line is on the flat underneath the barrel. You have to turn the gun sideways to see it. I can live with that. I wish they would do that on the GP100s'.

Did you ever see any of the old Millet front sights that came in reddish-orange and white? They show up on ebay occasionally. I've found enough on there to have them on all my GP100s'. One listing was for both GP and Security Six front sights, so to get the sights I wanted I ended up with Security Six sights in each color that I have no use for. Just throwing that out for consideration.

Vtfarmer- PM sent about the sights

Which is why I won't give up my circa 1976 Convertible Blackhawk and why, when the LGS had a used pre-billboard Security Six in the display case, I jumped on it like it was a steak and I hadn't eaten for three days.

I still really want to own a GP100 or similar with the Southport, Conn. rollmark. Ditto re: a Colt AR + 1911 and the hartford stampings. Not badly enough to have bought any of these yet... but one day
