In all honesty it's no more or less accurate than my other two GP 100's or than the other three or four I've owned over the years. The one I've preferred balance wise was a 5" stainless that a friend of mine refuses to sell back to me. The "Match Champion" lettering could go and it wouldn't...
I've been shooting wadcutters for decades and definitions are very important. Walk into most gun shops and ask for .38 Wadcutters and you will not be getting defensive ammo. The wadcutter comes down to a couple different definitions, the "Target" wadcutter which is generally a swaged hollow...
What manufacturers offer a “full power” wadcutter? Original poster referenced Sellier and Bellot wadcutters which are far from full power. The vast majority of manufacturers except a few boutique houses load a wadcutter to very low target velocity.
Wadcutters are great for target shooting and pure joy for plinking. I would absolutely not wish to be shot by one but the anemic level of power makes them less than ideal for defense. If the reduced level of recoil makes it possible for you to carry when a full powered load would stop you then...
Not a big double action shooter at all. Mostly a single action guy but it's nice to have the double action if needed. Things I love about this is the unfluted cylinder and no warning label visible.
It's a Match Champion III that has had a few tweaks. I switched cylinders with an unfluted one that came from a 6" limited edition. Added a Dawson 1/10" wide front sight and a Bowen adjustable rear. Nice comfy Super Redhawk grip as well. Cleaned up the internals and reduced the spring...
The first time I shot a .44 Magnum it was a borrowed Super Blackhawk that a friend inherited and hated. I bought a box of the hottest Magnums I could find and a box of specials. I hated the Magnums but loved the Specials. The .44Special became one of my very favorite cartridges and over time...
Shot a hundred Specials today. Granted they were out of .357's but I consider my .357's to be highly flexible .38's. Today was a GP100 Match Champion and a Henry Single Shot.
I've had GP's for decades and have never had an issue. My current one is a Match Champion III and I have no complaints. Biggest win is the vomit is on the bottom of the barrel. Comes with no finger groove Hogues which I'm warming up to but as said you can switch grips to the old if you like...
