Answer: Ultimate 357 Magnum revolver (limited Ruger 5" GP100)

[Stopsign32v]

Well it finally came in, plan to shoot it in roughly 2 hours from now. After much thought I decided to go with a GP100 in the limited 5" barrel. It balances amazingly and has an absolutely fantastic double action pull. Plan to shoot the barrel out of this thing if I can! Looking back I might have some buyers remorse for not going with a 4" Colt King Cobra for about $200 more but I still like this Ruger. It is going to be a work horse for me. How do you guys think I did? Here she is fresh out of the box.

Very nice! Those Ruger General Purpose & Special Purpose wheel guns are stronger than a bull ox!

 

[Meeks36]

It’s pretty let us know how it shoots!

 

[chicharrones]

Beautiful. Shiny. Congrats on a very nice GP-100.

Don't ever put it on bare concrete again.

 

[dredd]

That's a great looking piece of hardware.

BTW.... That's fake concrete. He just did that for the shock value.

Very nice!

Very nice. I added a red tube front sight and some full size lett style grips to my 6”. They are beasts!!

 

[stonebuster]

Very nice looking Model 1740 and a blast to shoot. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine.

Step one complete

Step 2 go to Kramer leather website and spend 125.00 on a horsehide holster for it. Will be worth the two month wait.

step 3 thank me later

I need a better belt? No mate, It’s a good one. Super bio belt. Indestructible. It’s loose in that pic

Congratulations! That’s good looking revolver.
Let us know how it shoots.
I was looking at Kramer horse hide holsters one day and mentioned them to my wife without thinking about her love of horses. Boy, I won’t do that again.

 

[bannockburn]

That's one fine looking GP100! Love the polished stainless and the 5" barrel!

 

[Shortgrub]

That's just plain pretty. To me a 5" bbl feels best for me. Enjoy and let us know when you shoot it out. IF, I'm still around.

 

[Stopsign32v]

Well I went to the range yesterday and they were closed (rightfully so). I'm planning on going later today I think.

Next time tell her they don't get the hides until the glue factory and dog food factory gets through processing the horse. That ought to get her going.

Nice looking gun OP. I bet you are going to really like that gun. I have a 4" and 6" GPs and have shot the 6" the most of all my handguns. I have shot around 5,000+ rounds through it and its still tight as new. Most were target wad cutters in the falling plate matches but thats still a fair amount of rounds down the tube.

Very cool, I've had a few 5" GP100's, the stainless 357 and the blued full lug 44 Special, it's a great barrel length.

They were “sick” horses that were dying anyway! Right?
