Hi Folks,
I have been wanting one of the 3 inch Ruger GP Wiley Clapp models for a while, and recently sold off some guns that were not being used, so here it is sadly on top of my “Honey Dos” list. It is the newest 1789 model with 7 round cylinder and tritium front sight. Being a GP100, it is a pussycat with 38 specials and .357s are a lot more tolerable that in my 2 1/4 inch SP101.
I’ve ordered a 7 shot speed loader from 5 Star and will probably get a Smith and Wesson 686+ Leather holster for it and call it good. I know I can really improve the trigger with a Wolf kit, etc. but I am going to stick with the old fashion method of dry firing and shooting as much 158 grain 38s and .357s through her as I can.

Ps, I swapped the nice small grips with the wood inserts for some more hand filling Hogues.
